Well, June was just an odd month... I accomplished very little with my two long-term projects, watching only two films from Roger Ebert’s Great Movies list and three from Michael F. Keaney’s Film Noir Guide: 745 Films of the Classic Era, 1940-1959.
But I did manage to watch four of the five films from Five Tall Tales, the excellent Budd Boetticher & Randolph Scott box set from Indicator, as well one season of a TV show. You’ll also notice a couple of shorts from The Complete Hal Roach Thelma Todd Patsy Kelly Comedy Collection from ClassicFlix and various other odds and ends. As always, films I particularly liked are in bold.
