Film of the Day

The Girl Who Played with Fire

It's not as good as the first one, and I felt it was a bit silly & implausible at times, but it's still a very good thriller, which kept me gripped right from the start and was a nice break from the trashy American comedies I've unexplainably(?) started watching.
Note to self: Persevere & stop opting for quick & cheap.
Almost always leads to disappointment.

The Opposite Sex (1956)

June Allyson, Joan Collins, Leslie Nielsen, Dolores Gray, Agnes Moorehead. Although not considered particularly great at the time, I think it's started to gain more credibility, perhaps mainly due to nostalgia.

Not as good, however, as the original film adaptation, The Women (1939), with Joan Crawford, which featured an all-female cast, so much so that even all but a few props were also female, including animals.
