I did watch The Mind Reader again today and posted a little bit on it here. Glad you enjoyed Ann Dvorak in Three on a Match, she was amazing!

Actually, I just watched The Mouthpiece and Times Square Playboy as a homemade double bill because I sort of need lighter, shorter fare to clear my mood after seeing the heavyweight stuff; and, on that basis, while Times Square Playboy is hardly a landmark or important film, I really did enjoy it at least as much! As for Three on a Match, I knew WW's was not the focal role in that "heavyweight" feature, but I might not have seen it if he wasn't in it, and I'd hate to have missed Ann Dvorak's performance--wow! Smarty and Don't Bet on Blondes are worth seeing if they come your way but not worth staying up all night for (to hark back metaphorically to the days before VCRs when that was the only way to see late late late movies). Part of my interest was to see if there were any other movies besides the Perry Mason ones where Claire Dodd plays a sweet ingenue type--if so, it's not in these, but she and Frank McHugh and Edward Everett Horton are all enjoyable company in Smarty.
