A Night at the Opera

The rooms get wrecked, the music lasts, and nobody goes home to a family.

The review

The Marx Brothers come in with a ruined opera company, a rich woman who wants culture, and three wreckers who stow away. Contract tearing is the bit everybody knows. I laughed, late, and a house can watch it. It was a large comic hit, still behind Mutiny. The joke is the ruin of pompous rooms, and another room is easy to want when you are already tired.

Nobody is building a family. That is what kept the laugh from settling. The music survives them, which is more than the people get. I would not call a torn contract a lesson. The promise on the page gets ripped, and the picture never has to live with the rip.

Live Historic number 30. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Scooby-Doo

41 instead of 30

Scooby-Doo is still a comedy film, and it scores 41 instead of 30. What you gain is truth: The monster is a man who wanted something.

The eight

5
Industry
An opera company is the workplace, and the wreckers treat the work as the joke.
2
Household
Nobody in this picture is building a family.
2
Piety
Nothing in the wreck of those rooms stops for a conscience.
3
Courage
Stowing away is mischief, not a loss they would feel tomorrow.
2
Republic
Pompous rooms are ruined, and no neighbor is owed anything for it.
2
Temperance
Each wrecked room leaves you ready for the next pompous one.
3
Truth
The public bit is a contract torn up so the room can laugh.
5
Stewardship
The music survives them, and the company they wrecked does not.

A Doctor to Die For

The review

The tile is a close face and a title that turns a physician into a body count. Sometimes that story is about a real betrayal of an oath, which is a grave subject. More often it is a white coat as a costume for a thriller. The desk will not invent the chart.

Do not learn what a doctor is from a poster like this. The oath is older than the twist. If the film is actually about the oath, the scores on truth and stewardship can be revisited. Until then it is a scare with a stethoscope.
