Gone with the Wind

Inner Betty: Spoiled rich girl doesn't know a good catch when it's in front of her.

Rating: Motors running

What revs my engine: I love all the southern dialects.

Tuck this in your saddlebag: Loved the scene at the first picnic after the guests have arrived, mid- afternoon, the men have their cigars in the parlor while the ladies retire upstairs and have to disrobe out of those gowns.

Alexander Nevsky

Inner Betty: Bunch of knights banging and clashing into each other.

Rating: Out of gas

What killed my engine: Subtitles!

Tuck this in your saddlebag: You must endure a lot to get to the battle scene.  Things pick up...dramatic music, the charge on horseback,  BIG fight.  Those are the good parts.

The Ten Commandments

Inner Betty:  Bare chested hunk takes on pharaoh

Rating:  Born to Boop

What revs my engine:  You need to see this for the ornate and colorful costuming and for the fast moving story of how Moses took on his half brother.

Tuck this in your saddlebag:  Don't miss the scene at the well with the seven daughters of Jethro who were swooning over Moses.
