Tagged by the lovely @norashelley to list my top 9 first watches of 2022. Thanks as always, Rose <3!
Once again, I didn’t see very many films for the first time in 2022, but these nine I’ve listed were all such wonderful and enjoyable surprises. I want to especially point out History is Made at Night, Father of the Bride, Written on the Wind, and A Night to Remember. 2022 was also the year I discovered Frank Borzage, and I look forward to seeing more of his work!
Tagging (but only if you want to!) @sonnet77 @bogarde @summers-in-hollywood @ladybegood and anyone else who wants to do it!

Watching History Is Made at Night, and damn, Charles Boyer—I absolutely understand why women swooned.
(It’s not a great movie, but Boyer was phenomenal and Colin Clive was genuinely menacing as Jean Arthur’s possessive husband.)

I was tagged by @missanthropicprinciple to post nine of my favorite movies. Way too many painful cuts here! The last three spots could have also been filled by any of these: The Black Cat (1934), Mad Love (1935), Hollywood Cavalcade (1939), The Last Jedi (2017) (and like a dozen others, but those were the ones on my mind today).

History Is Made at Night (Frank Borzage, 1937)
Cast: Charles Boyer, Jean Arthur, Leo Carrillo, Colin Clive, Ivan Lebedeff, George Meeker, Lucien Prival, George Davis. Screenplay: Gene Towne, C. Graham Baker, Vincent Lawrence, David Hertz. Cinematography: David Abel. Art direction: Alexander Toluboff. Film editing: Margaret Clancey. Music: Alfred Newman.
It starts as a domestic drama about a failing marriage, then becomes a suspense thriller, then a romance, then a rom-com with screwball touches, and winds up as a disaster movie. Objectively viewed, History Is Made at Night is a mess. But somehow it holds together, partly because of the chemistry of its leads, Charles Boyer and Jean Arthur, as well as some good comic acting by Leo Carrillo and the creepiness of Colin Clive, outdoing even his Dr. Frankenstein. And most of all, I think, by the direction of Frank Borzage, an under-recognized helmsman who seems willing to take anything the screenwriters and producer Walter Wanger throw at him. I've always been a fan of Arthur, and I think she's at her best here. She's not the sort of leading lady that makes you think men readily fall deeply in love with her, but here her character, Irene Vail, causes both the sinister steamship magnate Bruce Vail (Clive) and the suave Parisian headwaiter Paul Dumond (Boyer) to become obsessed with her, to the point that Dumond pursues her from France to America and Vail is willing not only to murder his chauffeur but even to sink an ocean liner with 3,000 passengers for her sake. Somehow, Arthur imbues the character with a quirky charm that makes all this credible. No, it's not a great movie by anyone's standards, but as a sample of Hollywood hokum it's at least great fun.
