250. Midnight (1939) Liesen Comedy starring Colbert as a penniless French showgirl who impersonates a Countess. Co-stars Don Ameche and John Barrymore. A charming and winning screwball comedy. Barrymore reins it in and Colbert never looked better. The pace never flags thanks to a great script by Wilder & Brackett. Rating ***
251. My Dinner with Andre (1982) Malle. An unusual film that consists of two men, William Shawn and Andre Gregory talking over dinner. Its a two hour talk fest, full of dime store philosophy, but its well written and held my interest. Gregory is a born storyteller and Shawn is funny & an excellent counter-puncher. It starts slow but becomes more interesting in the last 45 minutes. Summary: Enjoyable if you're in the right mood. Rating **1/2
