So. the Monday after T-Fest continued. After The Demon’s Baby and The White Buffalo, we watched Thunder on the Hills, provided by Chad R. Chad if the only other person as enamored of bad dramas as I am, and has been doing a deep dive of Douglas Sirk films after we watched All That Heaven Allows at a Watch Party. Before Sirk was really Sirk, he made more typical studio films. Thunder follows a nun (Claudette Colbert) trying to solve a mystery before an innocent woman about to be executed. It’s obvious based on a stage play, and was a pretty good melodrama.
Then it was even more wacky Hong Kong supernatural shenanigans with Ghost Nursing. A woman who lead a really sinful previous life is as punishment getting only horrible luck in this one. A priest tells her to adopt and care for a ghost baby, which will boost her karma or something. The details are foggy, I admit. Uh, something I goes wrong, and then goofy stuff. Another one I’ll have to rewatch, frankly. I might be too old to watch eight movies in a single day and retain much about all of them.
