641 - Up in Mabel's Room (1944) - 7.5/10 - Gary has been happily married for 30 days. However, before he got married, he purchased a slip for his friend Mabel while they were in Mexico and he wants to keep it secret from his wife. Since Gary is a dope, this leads to a ton of misunderstandings with his wife and their friends, thus threatening a number of relationships. It's pretty funny at times.
642 - The Gay Deception (1935) - 7.5/10 - Mirabel is an office worker who wins $5000 and decides to travel to New York City and live it up while the money lasts. She keeps running into a bellboy at the hotel who has taken an interest in her. She doesn't know that he is really a prince in disguise. I thought it was entertaining.
643 - Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) - 8/10 - Scarlett Johannson stars as Griet, a maid in 1665 who goes to work in the household of Vermeer and becomes the subject of his most famous painting. The film looks great and Scarlett did a very nice job in her role.
644 - The Magnificent Brute (1936) - 6.5/10 - Good natured "Big" Steve Andrews gets a job at a steel mill and beats the local top dog in productivity and arm wrestling. The guy he beats gets his revenge when money is collected for the family of a worker who died on the job. It was okay.
645 - Three is a Family (1944) - 7/10 - When Sam Whitaker's business plans don't work out, his wife goes to work to cover the bills. Then the couple's daughter shows up with her twins and the couple's son shows up with his pregnant wife and then more family arrives. The maids they hire keep quitting so Sam ends up having to do household chores in addition to caring for the babies. It's a decent comedy.
