Me, too, Wen.
This appears to be a day devoted to Somerset Maugham (what a cool idea)...though I can't recommend
Isle of Fury at 2:15pm...unless you would like to see the worst movie of Bogie''s career (yeah, this one is worse than
Swing Your Lady). Still, I like Maugham's stories too much to miss some of these. I am really interested in seeing
Dirty Gertie from Harlem, U.S.A. (1946). It's an African-American interpretation of
Rain.
