Stylish Films: And Then There Were None (1945)
I am continuing my mission to try to watch all the available adaptations of Agatha Christie’s work with a look at the 1945 adaptation of what many think of as her greatest novel, Rene Clair’s ‘And Then There Were None.’ This is currently available to watch on Amazon Prime, and I have to say that I rather loved this, as, as well as having a stellar cast, it actually added a wily humour to the tale that worked well with the story. The story is well known, and retains most of its elements. Ten people, strangers to each other, are invited to a mysterious house on a Soldier island that…

Stylish Films: Being The Ricardos
Lucille Ball was a trailblazer, one of the icons of early television, an icon of comedy, an icon of womanhood. A no nonsense perfectionist who didn’t suffer fools gladly, she created television in her series ‘I Love Lucy‘ that has stood the test of time, and is still hilarious today. This week I finally caught up with the Aaron Sorkin Amazon Original Movie that is all about one terrible week in her life, when it seemed that everything she had worked hard to achieve would come crashing down, due to an allegation by Walter Winchell, that Lucille Ball was a communist. At the same time, there were further allegations, in…
