The Crystal Ball by Elliott Nugent

A film starring Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard (United Artists, 1943).

A woman filling in for a psychic falls for the man she's supposed to be conning.

B (Good).

It's just an unremarkable romcom, but it has likable characters and no significant story problems - which, on second thought, is somewhat remarkable.

My Favorite Brunette by Elliott Nugent

Bob Hope pretends to be a private detective and is framed for murder.

2/4 (Indifferent).

The jokes are weirdly sparse. It's a long 85 minutes.
