Brass Monkey (1948)
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Expect Me And My Brass Monkey

The old guy who is after monkey says he is a Buddhist and will stop at nothing - even kill - to get the monkey. That struck me as an un-Buddhist.

BTW, I have those three monkeys on my tv stand, so it was fun to look over at them while viewing The Brass Monkey. The monkeys I have are made out of plastic, so I'm pretty sure no one will kill me for them.

I like movies where people play themselves. It's hard to criticize their acting when they play themselves.

If you say to them: "Your acting seems a little stiff." They can reply: "I'm not acting. I'm playing myself and I'm a stiff person."

I was surprised by who turned out to be the murderer. I never would have guessed Terry Thomas because he was playing himself. Okay, I am only kidding. People who play themselves aren't murderers. But I still was surprised who was guilty at the denouement.
