Take Her She's Mine (1963), Hitchcocks Holocaust Documentary (1945)

Take Her She's Mine

Comedy about a father (Jimmy Stewart) trying to protect his daughter's (Sandra Dee) virtue as she enters college. Reminiscent in tone and style of another Jimmy Stewart film' Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation', which came out the previous year. Entertaining enough comedy of errors, a family film but with a touch of the sex comedy about it, but those early 60's sex comedies where nothing compared to the raunch fests of today. Movie has a recurring gag of people mistaking Stewart's character for the actor James Stewart. Neat to see what constituted 'rebillion' in the post beatnik per-hippie window.

Grade: B-

Alfred Hitchcock the Holocaust Documentary

Uncompleted British documentary on holocaust atrocities directed in part by Alfred Hitchcock. The film is missing the final real and has segments where the audio's missing but still an interesting work, its pretty direct and calls out the whole German people for letter this inhumanity happen.

Grade: B
