Our pal, Jennythenipper, actually beat me to giving out any kind words to Satan Met a Lady on her post about the Maltese Falcon box set.

BTW Jeffers, The Mind Reader is on that list I posted in reply to you on the “Outcast” post.

Yup, can’t go wrong starting with either SS or EE when looking for converts. In fact, I used Employees’ Entrance to show one of my best friends, who hates “old movies,” who WW was, and after offering to stop it 5 minutes in he declined and told me he’d like to see the rest…and he liked it!

For what it’s worth, I was really impressed and delighted with the Arthur Treacher and Marie Wilson performances in Satan Met a Lady, and there were other good performances and aspects of the film, but it was another one in which I was disappointed at not liking WW’s role, in other words, not being able to hold it out to any potential WW fans and say, “Just watch this and you’ll see how great he is,” which I guess is always in my mind when I see one of his movies for the first time. Of those I have seen, I would still go with Skyscraper Souls and Employees’ Entrance among “major” pictures and “Case of the Curious Bride” and “Case of The Lucky Legs” on a sheer-fun level when casting my nets for new converts. Still keeping my eyes peeled for The Mind Reader and The Match King to reappear!

Hey Jeffers, how have you been.

Thanks so much, I’m so glad to have apparently found the proper words to describe what I was watching–that’s part of why I love posting to here pretty much right after I watch something. When I write about other movies I generally watch them at least 3 times before I start typing, and while that can be the case with Warren William movies (for instance, I watched Outcast twice before writing about it tonight) I prefer to post here right after I see something in order to capture exactly what I saw and/or felt.

Glad you’re still around. Hope I’m making good on my promise of posting more regularly here.

Thanks, Cliff
