What classic films did you watch this past week?

Hopefully people add something this week, I'm gonna keep trying!

I watched a rather poor film Blue Skies (1946)

Starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. The plot didn't make much sense, typical love triangle stuff we've seen in other Crosby-Astaire pairings. The one redeeming thing was any scenes that Astaire was in, especially "Puttin' on the Ritz" which is instantly one of my favorites of his all-time.

Also The Bad and the Beautiful (1953)

This Lana Turner film (plus Kirk Douglas) is decent, but I just didn't buy Douglas' character. Not spoiling anything (it's in any paragraph description of the film), but Douglas gets ruthless for no amazing reason, he is just an a-hole the second half of the film. I did find the ending pretty cool though.
