Cage me a peacock by Noel Langley

No. 9 in the Methuen Vintage Books series. Somewhat saucy drawings and antics of Althea

They Made Me a Fugitive by Alberto Cavalcanti

Very well done noir with Howard as an ex-RAF pilot forced to work for bad guy Jones after the war. But when he discovers Jones is not just dealing in contraband, but in drugs, Howard wants out--and ends up being framed. Jones is terrific as the despicable bad guy and Gray is also very effective (and beautiful) as the bad guy's girl who comes to Howard's assistance. Nice rainy London scenes as well. Excellent dialog by screenwriter Noel Langley--who also wrote most of The Wizard of Oz!

The Wizard Of Oz (75th Anniversary) by L. Frank Baum

I grew up watching this movie. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen or imagined. I waited for it to air once a year.
