1. Set the DVR for The Silent Partner

Christopher Plummer plays a great bad guy.

Real sleeper of a film and one of my favorites. You won’t regret it.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Those interested in fast and witty dialogue should watch

The Man Who Came To Dinner.

[CBHagman]

3. "Larceny, Inc."

That one was a nice surprise. I'd never even heard of it until TCM ran it some years back.

And Edward G. Robinson is always watchable.
