Pot o' Gold (1941)
The owner of a failed music shop, goes to work with his uncle, the owner of a food factory, and as he gets there, he befriends an Irish family who happens to be his uncle's worst enemy because of their love for music and in-house band who constantly practices.
Likeable lively, but rather simple-minded comedy romance entertains, but is marred by - too much music!
Halliwell (no star): "Thin Capraesque comedy which needed more determined handling."
Maltin**: "Very minor item...Stewart called this his worst movie!"

The Blue Dahlia (1946)
An ex-bomber pilot is suspected of murdering his unfaithful wife.
Although scripted by Raymond Chandler this movie is handled less as a Noir thriller, but more like an average, but entertaining crime thriller with a surprising - and disappointing - resolution.
Halliwell**: "Hailed on its first release as sharper than average, this mystery suspenser is now only moderately compelling despite the screenplay credit; direction and editing lack urgency and the acting lacks bounce."
Maltin***: "Exciting Raymond Chandler-scripted melodrama...well-turned film."
