First Lines: Richard E. Byrd - Alone
Bolling advance weather base, which I manned alone during the Antarctic winter night of 1934, was planted in the dark immensity of the Ross Ice Barrier, on a line between Little America and the South Pole.
How to Marry a Millionaire (1953)
Three women set out to find eligible millionaires to marry, but find true love in the process.
Likable and entertaining, but harmless and old-fashioned romantic comedy - with a highly predictable plot.
Halliwell**:
"Cinemascope's first attempt at modern comedy was not quite as
disastrous as might have been expected, largely because of the
expensiveness of everything and the several stars still brightly
twinkling, but the handling of this variation on the old Golddiggers
theme, while entirely amiable, is dramatically very slack."
The Eagle (2011)
In Roman-ruled Britain, a young Roman soldier endeavors to honor his father's memory by finding his lost legion's golden emblem.
Basically well-made historic action-adventure, but not particularly original; not suitable for educational purposes about history.
Maltin***: "Old-fashioned sword-and-sandal adventure...Characters are well developed, and the battles are nicely staged, against gorgeous Scottish scenery. Bell shines and Tatum at least looks the part. Director McDonald certainly understands the genre but injects a classic western bravado that gives the enterprise an air of freshness."

First Lines: Jim Corbett - Man-Eaters of Kumaon
I was shooting with Eddie Knowles in Malani when I first heard of the tiger which later received official recognition as the 'Champawat man-eater'.
