Jourdan. Directed by Max Ophuls in 1948. This film is not rated and runs

National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally,
historically, or aesthetically significant".

August 6: A Shot in the Dark starring Peter Sellers, Elke Sommer, George Sanders,
and Herbert Lom. Directed by Blake Edwards in 1964. This film is rated PG and
runs 102 minutes.
The second
Pink Panther film is a timeless piece of knockabout comic artistry and
undoubtedly the best of the series. –Film4
August 20: It Happened in Brooklyn starring Frank Sinatra, Peter
Lawford, Kathryn Grayson, and Jimmy Durante. Directed by Richard Whorf in
1947. This film is Not Rated and runs 104 minutes.
It
Happened in Brooklyn
is a blast, especially if you’re a Sinatra fan. It’s packed with great songs by
Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, including “The Brooklyn Bridge,” “Whose Baby Are
You?,” “It’s the Same Old Dream,” “The Song’s Gotta Come From the Heart,” and
the classic “Time After Time.” ---Adam Lounsbery
