Fear in the Night (1947)
A man dreams he committed murder, then begins to suspect it was real.
Good Cornell Woolrich adaptation with a capable cast captures the author's nightmarish noir atmosphere quite well.
Halliwell**: "Intriguing small-scale puzzler later remade to less effect as Nightmare. Adequate performances and handling, but the plot's the thing."
Maltin***: "Nifty chiller..."

Blondie (1938)
Dagwood loses his job on the eve of his and Blondie's fifth wedding anniversary.
Likable, but very lightweight comedy that still does manage to entertain.
Halliwell*: "Dagwood Bumstead and his wife Blondie were Mr and Mrs Small Town throughout the thirties and forties, and received their perfect screen incarnations in this unambitious but quite watchable series, which provided familiar and often quite observant fun."
Maltin***: "First in the series...with a typically amusing plot..."
