A reminder that I rewatched The Heiress and was quite impressed with Miriam Hopkins' supporting role. I rewatched Marketa Lazarova today, and while I had already nominated the title character for best supporting actress of 1967, I now have a clear enough grasp of the movie to remember the other char...

I know it doesn't have many fans, but it's a pity that as part of its Brando tribute TCM isn't showing A Countess from Hong Kong. It's hard to believe it would be the worst Brando film shown this month.

Last week I saw three movies, none of them fully successful. Courage for every Day is a mid-sixties Czechoslovak film about a young member and Communist part member who faces the growing disillusionment of those around them. At least that's the plot Wikipedia and tv guides give. Actually watching th...

Of the five nominees, I'd place him fourth. And I would have no trouble thinking up better nominees to exclude him altogether.

Now it's time for 1964, which was actually the year I began talking about the subject, but where my post has been mostly obliterated in the great deletion of my posts. Here are the Academy's choices: Black and white Zorba the Greek The Americanization of Emily Fate Is the Hunter Hush...Hush, Sweet C...
