Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag (1992)

Betty Lou's coming out tonight

Although it has its good points, this film is generally of the quality of a made-for-TV film--not something I'd recommend buying or renting.

Betty Lou is a librarian who's not getting the attention she wants and arguably deserves from her police officer husband. He's more interested in his work than her.

There's a murder in their town involving a travelling man who's having an affair with a local married woman.

Betty Lou (with her dog) happens to discover the murder weapon. To gain attention she proclaims herself the murderess. Betty Lou, of red hair, is a sympathetic character and it's fun to see her snub all the interrogating male cops (including her husband) who take her for granted. She also befriends a local prostitute while in jail and otherwise asserts herself as she hasn't before.

It's not all fun, however, for there are some southern Mafia characters about led by a particularly evil man named Bodine (how original). There are a few scenes of gratuitous violence that were a big turn off.

The climax is somewhat improbable but something you might expect in a TV movie.

Also, there's a scene in a country bar where the singers (names unknown) recreate faithfully the great Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris duet of "Love Hurts."

 

Travelon Leather Expandable Shoulder Bag

Nice Organizer Bag That Isn't Too Expensive

When I broke my arm I purchased this bag so I could still carry a purse when I went shopping. The light colored lining makes it easy to see things inside the bag. If you don't like searching through your bag then this one should be a good choice because it keeps everything well organized.

I still use this bag when I go grocery shopping so I don't have to leave my bag in a cart while choosing items in the store. I have had the bag for more than a year, used it on a regular basis, and it still looks good. If you have problems with shoulder bags sliding off your shoulder, this crossbody bag is a good solution.

It would be nice if each color selection had a matching strap instead of the black that comes on all of the bags.

Large ''Brianna'' Bucket Bag - Black, Brown, Red, Orange or Off-White

It's a Good one

I bought this bag in the olive color, not offered now. I was very happy with the bag. It is very very roomy, carries my stuff beautifully. I'm used to name bags and I definitely see the difference here with the details. But for this price, it was very nice.

 

Giani Bernini Flap Satchel

Cool Bag

I bought this purse today @ Macy's & I love it so much I'm buying another online in another color (I bought the muted gold one & now I need the brown one too!) The purse is a great size- it has 2 deep compartments on either side of the middle zip, plus another inside zip pouch AND an extra pocket just outside beneath the flap too. Amazing amount of space for such a small bag. I am petite so I hate to carry a huge bag, but it seems that I never have enough room for all of my things. This purse fits everything w/ room to spare & is super cute. Total must have.
