Just as I ran out of re-runs from blog HQ, this appeared on YT and at first I found “Laura”, which had good reviews … too good in fact … after putting the review here, YT told me it was not available in this country. Well of course. This below seems a fairly good movie.
“Dressed To Kill” was an excellent murder mystery and the third entry in the Michael Shayne detective series of the 40’s. It is the first one I’ve seen and I enjoyed the way Lloyd Nolan fit the title character like an old shoe. It had a great supporting cast and a story to match, unlike many B murder mysteries of this era which are often formulaic and predictable.
This one took considerable thought, and both the denouement and deus ex machina are pretty clever. Shane/Nolan has to solve a double murder in which the victims are killed at a dinner table with two different guns, and along the way we get to meet some very interesting characters, played by some very interesting character actors.
We also find out that he knows nearly everybody within shouting distance, which is a formidable number of people, as this is New York City. It creates a cheerfully amiable atmosphere, despite the grumpy Chief Inspector, played by William Demarest in his customary bombastic style.
Also on hand is Henry Daniell as a theatrical snob, and Mary Beth Hughes, maybe the prettiest B picture girl who never made the jump to more important pictures.
Where will the Ukraine get cash to pay them from … or will they be a net receiving state from all other states?

16. Going to start with the CO and EK thing (again)
đšWhat is going on at Turning Point right now should be termed the Scottsdale Witch Trials. I have now gathered first-person accounts that executives are dragging people into offices asking about their allegiance to Erika. Specifically, one person was told that an uber driverâŠ
My position is that I don’t really know between the two … there’s been almost nothing on X which I’ve seen from EK, nor CO but once CO broke her silence and posted … followed by quite a few comments vilifying her, CO, but also a few on EK:
The one called Sheryl is a Christian Xer with a following, Planet Alison has almost no followers but is what seems secular sceptic. If we accept CO’s supporters’ summation, EK is a Zionist, not a Christian. If we accept EK’s supporters’ summation, CO is either a woman with a chip on her shoulder and largely pro Muslim, like Tucker, although she, CO, says Catholic, which is not necessarily Christian, if excessively Mary-ist.
Therefore quite hard to pin down. TPUSA still seems to be raking in the $$$$$s, quite effectively so, positioning itself as Christian. Hmmmmm, jury’s out imho … maybe all are iffy.
There is, of course, the Miles M explanation that neither CK nor JFK were dead after the “assassinations”.
a) Having been defeated in the Senate, Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly, is not waiting for the end of the Senate debate to falsely announce that she is supported by the French people.
b) Iraq: Baghdad asks Macron to repatriate its citizens imprisoned for belonging to the Islamic State.
c) Melenchon is EVIL; he is going for the Isl@mic vote.
d) What is it with NANTES? Something in tha air, the waterâŠ.? Nantes (44): The LFI candidate [a Mate of Melenchon] for mayor will remove the statue of Louis XVI if she wins….
e) The French Government has a budget. Once again it survived a no-confidence vote, spared by the Socialist Partyâs decision not to bring it down.

Donald Trump, in insulting the ordinary British person and armed forces men and women, rather than Starmer and Marxist henchmen, crossed a crass red line. He needs to apologise … not to starmer but to the ordinary Brit whom starmer hates.
(1658) Almost evening, all, hope you have a good weekend.
26. What a foolish man Trump has become
After breaking his word to Iranians (mass slaughter resulting), he attacks patriotic Brits plus soldiers etc. instead of Starmer and the left who deserve it. Then we get to Bondi. Why is he trying to lose his base?
