Crossfire - Another 1947 film about antisemitism, but not as good as 1947’s Best Picture winner Gentleman’s Agreement, I don’t think (that one wasn’t too good either). 2.5/5

The Defiant Ones - Sidney Poitier in the role that made him famous, alongside Tony Curtis. Lon Chaney Jr. makes a surprise appearance by not turning into a wolf. I wish there were more to this one, as it seems to be split into four main sections, with the third one not being very interesting. Still great to see. 3.5/5

To Sir, With Love - Another Sidney Poitier movie. I really enjoyed this one. A template for all teacher/student movies to follow, with some good lessons. Poitier is really playing an ideal, and I have no issues with that, I wanted to be him. 4/5

Summer Stock - Can’t end the day without a musical. This time, it’s Judy Garland’s final performance with MGM. Two things worth watching: Wow and wow.
