1. 'Night Must Fall' and 'The Velvet Touch' are a great line-up

I have really been enjoying Tuesdays, because of Rosalind Russell films! 'Night Must Fall' is one of my favorite thrillers. I haven't seen 'The Velvet Touch' but will be looking forward to enjoying it tomorrow night!

Great post and great pics, CBH!! :hi:

2. I rather wish I could stay up and just watch Roz and Bob.

Hi, ld! :hi:

Unfortunately the VCR isn't in the greatest of shape, and I haven't got TiVo or a DVR. So I'll likely miss a lot of the rarities running in the middle of the night. But...there's always asking for a reminder for next time.
