Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Some Came Running (1958)

Reminded me a lot of Peyton Place: it’s a not-too-important story taking itself waaaay too seriously.

MacLaine is good as a floozy hopelessly in love with Sinatra who can't see her for the ice princess he loves. Predictably ends in "tragedy." Dean Martin is wasted in a character hampered by idiosyncrasies.
