Getting Mary Married

This release from Grapevine shows off Marion's dramatic side.  I'm a fan of her comic side but she did ok in this.  She's lovely in this and I like her hair.  In this her stepfather dies and there's a catch.  She can only get his money if she stays unmarried for a year.  But then Norman Kerry has his eye on her. 

Lucky Partners

Richard Colman and Ginger Rogers split a lottery ticket with each other.  Then they go on a platonic trip together.  However Ginger Rogers is engaged to Jack Carson.  It was nice seeing Jack Carson in something other than a Doris Day movie.  The actors were good here but I just felt the movie was ok.  This is not among Ginger Rogers' best.

The Penalty

As a child Lon Chaney's character's legs were amputated by an insufficient doctor.  Years later he learns that his daughter is a sculptor and doing a piece on the devil.  He comes for the job planning for revenge.  Lon Chaney's character is creepy.  He does a good job as always.  There's also a neat twist at the end.  Lon Chaney was one of the best actors in the silent era.   This got my attention the whole way through.
