Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

Is that Bessie Love in the top two stills? None of the critics you cite mentioned her. I think a critic should have said, "Bessie Love's acting was not noticed because she is so cute."

note: i didn't quote you, Rich, all that bandwidth ...

Re: Noir Alley

I wish I could enjoy BORN TO KILL because, well, let's face it, who really doesn't love Laurence Tierney, Claire Trevor, Elisha Cook, Jr. and director Robert Wise. But I just can't get excited or engaged in any way -- the whole thing for me is flat, hollow, unsubtle, and, considering the subject ma...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Get out your handkerchiefs for ALL MINE TO GIVE this evening. I've said this before and I'll say it again -- Max Steiner's score will immediately make you break down and cry even before the credits roll. This is in keeping with the tribute to wonderful Glynis Johns who we recently lost. I only wish...

Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

The Estate of Mable Forrest is reportedly ecstatic that the movie has been labelled "presumed lost" for obvious reasons and some have sued to have it changed to "totally lost" status though an insider note has suggested that they are having second thoughts about that. There is a ...

Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

The reviewer of that execrably scathing review of Miss Forrest ought to be named for posterity. She might be as bad as all that but she nevertheless needs a name so that her ancestors can have a target for retribution or even revenge.
