Viewing Notes
One hundred percent the perfect movie for me: a murder mystery movie about movies, old Hollywood and filmmaking. Oh and it stars my fave Julie Adams. Given all the William Castle movies I have seen I’m surprised that I haven’t seen this sooner given all the above.
Wish I had seen it back in the day bc I would’ve asked Julie about working with Castle. Wonder if there’s a good BD release for this; definitely one to own.
Obtw this is also Christmas movie with nothing to do with Christmas (my favorite kind of Christmas movie!). Kicking off my annual Advent event with this movie bc every kid wants to sneak a peek ahead of December.

I’ve never even heard of this movie before, but it sounds great!
