H's

  The House on Telegraph Hill  1951
Richard Basehart  Valentina Cortese

Victoria survives concentration camp, uses dead friends identity to marry into America only to find the man she quickly married is of German decent and attempts to kill her.  This film is quick moving and suspenseful.


How To Steal A Million  1966
Audrey Hepburn  Peter O'Toole

Nicole falls for Simon, a skilled thief who is actually an undercover agent looking to bust Nicole's father for replicating his own paintings as priceless originals.  Audrey looks stunning in this film.  Her hairstyle frames those gorgeous eyes making it hard not to love.  The blossoming romance between Nicole and Simon is adorable, especially when you throw crime into the mix.


Harvey  1950
James Stewart  Josephine Hull

Care free, sweet hearted Elwood P. Dowd, has an imaginary 6'3 pooka rabbit friend named Harvey.  Elwood's sister Vita is terribly embarrassed that their small town looks down on her because of her brother's behavior, she attempts to have him committed.  James Stewart has precious eyes, it is easy to fall in love with this film.  

Hustle  2022

Adam Sandler  Juancho Hernangomez

Adam Sandler plays Stanley Sugerman, a basketball recruiter for the Philadelphia 76ers.  After many exhausting years traveling all around the world looking for professional players, Stanley finally gets promoted to coach.  Unfortunately, his promotion is short lived, the head of the company has passed away and his greedy son tries to eliminate Stanley.  Like many Happy Madison Productions, this one has a Never Back Down message.  Stanley continues to fight for one man who deserves to be in the NBA.  Adam has a good eye for underdog stories with some humor to boot.  I enjoyed this film, you can find it on Netflix.
