\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here I am back again which will probably amount to a part two of my last blahg HAVE YOU WATCHED ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY?<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/strong>\"New<\/a>I thought of actually titling this blahg “Have You Watched Any Good Movies Lately 2” but that wouldn’t be very creative.\u00a0 I’m working my way through all of the Warner Archive and Fox Manufacture On Demand DVDs that I purchased over my holidays or others I’ve purchased this year.\u00a0 I don’t think I’ll get to all of them but I’ll make a stab it at least.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Since my previous blahg, I have watched only a few more from the pile.\u00a0 I’ll start with the two Warner Archives I watched, “The Oklahoman” from 1957 and “Broadway Serenade” from 1939.\u00a0 \"TheFirst up is “The Oklahoman” with Joel McCrea.\u00a0 I extolled the virtues of Joel McCrea in my last blahg, when I reviewed \u00a0 “Primrose Path” and “Stars In My Crown.”\u00a0 I really liked “The Oklahoman.”\u00a0 It plays more like an episode of the television show “Gunsmoke” but it’s a good\u00a0 movie.\u00a0 McCrea plays a Doctor in a small town raising his little girl on his own and running up against the bad rancher who wants to steal oil from a Native American.\u00a0 Great acting by McCrea in this one. \"Broadway<\/a> “Broadway Serenade” was also a surprise hit with me.\u00a0 This is another nice one from Jeanette MacDonald with Lew Ayres and Frank Morgan.\u00a0 Morgan is funny in all his scenes but MacDonald and Ayres are brilliant.\u00a0 They’re a vaudeville couple who go their separate ways when her career becomes big and his fails.\u00a0 I know, sounds like the plot of “A Star Is Born” but the ending in this one is better.\u00a0 Talk about the end, the finale produced by Busby Berkley for the song “None But The Lonely Heart” is so over the top that they can do nothing but end the film with it.\u00a0 Great singing and great acting in this one.\u00a0 If you’ve never heard the song “None But The Lonely Heart” then check out Sinatra’s 1959 version in the video below.\u00a0 Sinatra had also recorded it in 1946 and 1947.\u00a0 Thirty years after the 1939 version of that song in “Broadway Serenade” Sinatra released a stellar version:
