If not ... I've seen "Maltese Falcon" more than once but I don't think I've reviewed it on this blog yet, hence the link to definitely-not-a-classic "Have Rocket." I tend to link to more obscure movies anyway, ha!<br /><br />Chris, I'm glad you enjoyed this one, too. I didn't have particularly good memories about it when i first saw it on TV as a kid, probably because with all the commercials and sequences dropped to make room for them it didn't come off as well as it does when you see the whole thing without interruption. Thank goodness we've got DVDs and not those TV versions that are all chopped up!Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053290865549099074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-17327594698509621712017-05-12T07:39:41.145-04:002017-05-12T07:39:41.145-04:00I love this one too--Lucille had really perfected ...I love this one too--Lucille had really perfected her "Lucy" persona by this film (and in Miss Grant Takes Richmond, mentioned by Neil above), that took her from the radio hit My Favorite Husband to I Love Lucy.<br /><br />Has been a while since I have seen this one, but I have definitely seen it four or five times, and look forward to viewing #6 after this review!<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8212867859094085036.post-57651339597385020142017-05-11T23:45:14.909-04:002017-05-11T23:45:14.909-04:00One of those odd films that I've never been ab...One of those odd films that I've never been able to catch. Seems like I only think of it when someone brings it up, which is pretty rare, or when "Miss Grant Takes Richmond" gets an airing and I think of this movie as well.<br />I'm going to have to seek it out, now mostly based on your positive recommendation. I'd almost relegated it to the status I have for "It's in the Bag" with Fred Allen, which I would only recommend to Jack Benny completists.<br />I think I would have credited Jerome Cowan with "Maltese Falcon" even if he only was in it for a minute instead of "Have Rocket". Sorry, couldn't resist that one.Neil A Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190094795400035347noreply@blogger.com
