Just thought I'd take a break from listing my favorite classics (of which there are many more to go) and give a shout out to a couple YouTube channels. I frequent these because they often review some of the lesser known classics. youtube.com/@ianpatrickcla… youtube.com/@OldMovieRob/v…

POW Robert Mitchum confides in envious fellow prisoner Richard Hart all the details of his idyllic home life and wife, Greer Garson. Devastated when her husband doesn't return from the war, she's told of his death and loses all hope. Guess who consoles her. Desire Me (1947)
