March 16 movie: My Life with Caroline. Another movie about a flighty rich woman who fancies herself in love with another man, and the husband who maneuvers her into realizing she really loves him. I knew this was a bad movie going in and only watched it because it starred Anna Lee, who played Lila Quartermaine for decades on General Hospital. (Trivia note: Lila's son on the show is named Alan but he's nothing like the H. Rider Haggard character Allan Quatermain.) Anna Lee was a luminous young woman, but in retrospect, I don't love her enough to watch any crap just because she's in it. That honor is reserved for a select few like Cary Grant, Claudette Colbert and Ricardo Montalban. Next time I'll stick to Lee's good movies, like Flying Tigers or How Green Was My Valley.
