Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl (2019)

A Jewish family had to flee from the Nazis from Berlin. First, they flee to Zurich. From there it goes to Paris and finally to London.Well-made, but a bit frumpy adaptation of the well-loved book by Judith Kerr is endearing with a good cast and excellent period detail.

Prime Time (2021)
.jpg)
On New Year's Eve 1999, an armed man enters a TV studio during a broadcast, takes the host hostage and makes one demand: to give a message live on air.
Above-average TV closed-room drama is suspenseful and profits from good performances.
My Favorite Brunette (1947)

Shortly before his execution on the death row in San Quentin, amateur sleuth and baby photographer Ronnie Jackson, tells reporters how he got there.
Light-weighted,
silly, but basically entertaining spoof of a Noir plot keeps the jokes
coming, but is hardly a convincing parody of the genre.
Halliwell*: "Pretty fair star vehicle which half-heartedly spoofs Farewell My Lovely."
Maltin***: "Better-than-usual Hope nonsense...Two very funny surprise cameos at beginning and end of film."
