watching the talkies, 1954-6

Mister Roberts (1955) is the dullest movie I’ve sat through in some time. I did not turn it off because the characters have enough potential that one keeps thinking something might happen.

I was mildly surprised to find that To Catch a Thief (1955) is in color; I must have seen part of it before 1981. — The phrase cat burglar is never used in the film; how old is it?

Samurai Trilogy (1954-6) might make more sense if the subtitles covered more than half of the dialogue.
