Under Neon Movie Reviews: 'It Happened on 5th Avenue' (1947)

Movie: It Happened on 5th Avenue
Year: 1947
Rating: 9/10 Stars *********

This 1947 movie is an instant classic! I highly recommend it. The 2nd richest man in the world leaves one mansion for the holidays to head to one of his many other estates for the holidays, all during a depression when many are out of work and looking for places to live. One man has figured the pattern out and alternates squatting at each un-occupied mansion/estate, but this time he makes friends, and before he knows it the mansion is full and the owner has found out. But there is more to this story, and it shades of the recent foreclosure crisis and situation in America.

Brief Movie Review for 'Out of the Past' (1947)

 Out of the Past (1947)

3/5 Stars ***
Another Robert Mitchum movie, which includes Kirk Douglas as well as a few others. A story about Mitchum's character, who works as a sort of bounty-hunter who is hired by Kirk Douglas's wealthy and corrupt character to retrieve a very clever and sneeky beautiful old girlfriend of his. The story stays interesting throughout and it doesn't end exactly how you might expect, so check it out, its a good flick for a night in.
