5.12 I Watched 7 Old Movies in 7 Days

Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not (1944)

Welcome back to The Community Library! After a little hiatus, I am back making episodes, beginning with this one all about my adventures watching old movies for a week. I watched seven black and white movies, spanning from 1931 to 1948, and documented my thoughts on each. I watched some classics – such as His Girl Friday and Frankenstein, and some lesser-known ones, such as Ladies of the Chorus and To Be or Not to Be. Enjoy!
