Indiscreet
Director: Stanley Donan
Year: 1958
Stars: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman
Feeling too ill to really do anything at all, when this came on TV and I couldn't sleep I figured I may as well give it a try and watch it.
Ingrid Bergman is Anna Kalnan, a woman who falls in love with Philip Adams (Cary Grant). Adams doesn't want to get married, so tell Anna he is already married and can never get a divorce. The first hour follows their love affair before she knows this, the second hour after she finds this out. Not a bad movie, but not a complex one - I fell asleep for 20 minutes near the beginning (I was pretty ill), and yet when I woke up had not one question about what was happening... a nice bit of fun and escapism for when I was ill, but nothing more.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
