Un tè con Mussolini (1999)
Because this movie is based on a true story, it is excellent.
If this had not been based on the early life of the director, this would have been a trivial movie and, therefore, not believable. Knowing that it was based on true events made every scene totally absorbing. And memorable. The acting from all the principals was outstanding, particularly Joan Plowright. Not to be overlooked (or overshadowed) was the role played by Cher, who brought a robustness to her character.
The Shadow (1940)
To a nine year old, this was the greatest serial ever!
The thing I remember most was the deep, resonant voice of Victor Jory, who played The Shadow and Lamont Cranston. "What evil lurks in the hearts of men, the Shadow knows..." He kept me and my friends spellbound. We went to the theater every Saturday, never missing a single episode of that wonderful potboiler serial. We didn't care what the feature was, we were there to see The Shadow! All for dime! What memories... Ah, those really were the days!
