  • A great release coming from Criterion in July @FoxRox. While I have the old Criterion DVD version of BARRY LYNDON I may upgrade (if there is a corresponding blu-ray release). In any case, Criterion is also releasing one of my favorite film noirs:…
  • Hopefully these three (3) intros/outros from TCM on Tuesday will be a little "extra" cherry on top of your Birthday cake @ToTheRight. THE KILLING (Marie Windsor and Coleen Gray) TENSION (Audrey Totter) JOHNNY O'CLOCK (Evelyn Keyes)

  • On Tuesday evening TCM devoted their programming to several of the actresses featured in the Muller's book. It was fun to do the watch along on social media (blue sky) as everyone watched Maire Windsor (The Killing), Audrey Totter (Tension) and Evel…
  • First, Happy Birthday @ToTheRight =D> . I'll go out on a limb and say that you will ready love the DARK CITY DAMES book. The profiles of the six actresses profiled are divided into two parts * “Hollywood Mid-Century” * “Hollywood Fin de …
  • ... still weighing my options on Ladd/Lake vs. Beverly Michaels or Cleo Moore for those last two spots on my list of "FIFTY NOIR ESSENTIALS." :)) For now, ICYMI: I rewatched THE NARROW MARGIN over the weekend (it was on Noir Alley). WOW, Mar…

  • So sad to hear of Bruce Glover's passing. I was just thinking of him earlier this week, when I was listing the various connections between the James Bond films and 1968's THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Glover has a small (uncredited) role as a bank man…
  • An excellent write-up @MaxCasino. As you state, not only is ON THE WATERFRONT a great film but it is also an important one. While the “I coulda been a contender” scene in the taxicab between Terry (Marlon Brando) and his brother Charley (Rod Stei…
  • I absolutely love McCABE & Mrs. MILLER @FoxRox. The Leonard Cohen songs and the special treatment given the film negative by Robert Altman and his DP Vilmos Zsigmond give it a unique sound and look (IMO). Plus, Julie Christie. :x Enjoy. …
  • On somewhat short notice, but Criterion is having a 50% off "24-hour flash sale" for US and Canadian customers (only) thru March 19th Noon ET.

  • With the exception of Capricorn One (*), that is a very impressive list of classic sci-fi films @Fire_And_Ice_Returns. Not surprisingly, I have a large degree of affection for the sci-fi films of the 1950’s and 1960’s, and I would add the following …
  • Happy 92nd Birthday to actress Barbara Feldon (March 12, 1933). ^:)^

  • While both films are bottom tier (IMO), AVTAK is a bit more fun. Plus, I enjoy rocking out to Duran-Duran's theme song during the title sequence.
  • IIRC, Halley Berry also introduced the "Bond tribute" at the 2013 Oscars as well.
