Movie roundup

Saw a bunch of movies on dvd:
The Man who came to Dinner - (1942) A classic screwball play, turned into a decent movie, but a bit over-acted. The star grates on your nerves after a while. Still, a well-crafted piece of 40s film comedy.
Anne of a Thousand Days - (1969) Despite some of the silly dialogue, this is a terrific film, with Richard Burton chewing up the scenery as only he can do. This film is almost a parody of itself by today's standards. I liked it a lot. Drama or Melodrama, I'm not sure....but it's fun.
Mary Queen of Scots - (1971) - Interesting to see the cast Vanessa Redgrave, Timoty Dalton, and Ian Holm so young! I wanted to love it, but it got rather claustrophobic, all those scenes of people stuck in tiny castle rooms
