Interesting that you should mention Two Rode Together (1961)as a favorite Ford Western. I just finished reading a biography of James Stewart by Marc Eliot. In it, he cites Stewart's belief that Ford seemed disinterested throughout the film's production. The author doesn't mention that Ford had a ten...

I think that a Film Noir & Crime Section might be helpful. Does anyone else?

Ken, how about taking Miss O'Hara and her cohorts over to the Western area?

Hey, Ken , Don't start, bub!! See that General Chat area Jon's built for us here?? You know what subject goes there, don'tcha? Politics and other Off Topic blather!! I'm actually glad that you stumbled over here and hope that you'll be posting madly and informatively about Film Noir, Westerns and o...

I think I'm pretty happy that I first experienced Andy Griffith via Mayberry and not Elia Kazan's dark vision, or I'd be in your wife's corner completely. Is it my imagination, or was A Face in the Crowd not broadcast for many years due to the uh, "controversial" light that it threw onto t...

Claudette Colbert is one of those actresses who's only recently begun to grow on me. I think that part of the reason that I like her more now is my exposure to such early films of hers as Imitation of Life and The Smiling Lieutenant and later ones such as Arise My Love, The Egg and I, So Proudly We...

Welcome Pktrekgirl, (nice avatar, btw). Thank goodness you're here too. I'm looking forward to Broken Blossoms (1919), since my favorite silent Lillian Gish films that I've seen so far are Orphans in the Storm, The Scarlet Letter, Hearts of the World, La Boheme , and The Wind . This is definitely a ...

I guess I'm in the distinct minority about this one, but I enjoyed Stingaree (1934). It was funny and (I think) it may have been meant as a parody at the time of its production. Some Good Elements: Una O'Connor , especially when it took her five minutes to leave a room, thanks to her bustle & wh...

I saw this movie on AMC recently and thought that it was an endearing little story, and well acted by Jean Arthur and John Wayne , who made a cute, contrasting couple, despite the age difference. It reminded me a bit of the service comedy Without Reservations (1946) with Claudette Colbert , (who rea...

Fernando,Thanks for posting. I also noticed that things seemed especially grim over there today.

Hope that this nifty site that Jon has constructed for us proves to be a fun alternative. Hope that you'll feel free to write about the great Garbo somewhere here.

Jon, Ignatz the Mouse, named, I believe for the Krazy Kat comic strip character, is an actual mouse who provides Miss Davies with diversion and companionship. Wait until you see the scenes along the canal. Hollywood in the late '20s was technically splendid as can be seen in the recreation of an ent...

The Red Mill (1927) directed by Roscoe Arbuckle , (under the pseudonym William Goodrich), features Marion Davies in one of her most diverting comic performances. Arbuckle, who had been castigated by Hearst a few years prior to this film, showed that his comic skills were still extant after all his ...
