This next film takes us back to the Scottish Highlands with, amongst other things, a quest to recover a stolen inheritance. For this project, I’m focusing on the story itself, including dialogue, character development, any subplots, how a story presents itself,…

Darby O’Gill and the Little People Movie Review (1959)
We travel to South Ireland for this next film. One of the last films of the 1950’s, we get to see Sean Connery as pre-James Bond and he sings (just one song…twice). For this project, I’m focusing on the story…
The Shaggy Dog Movie Review (1959)
Even though Fred MacMurray plays a dad named Wilson Daniels, during the viewings and while writing this post, I just called him Fred the whole time (because Fred is much more fun to say that Mr. Daniels). For this project,…
