May 5th - The Creature From The Black Lagoon

May 12th - Revenge of The Creature

Yowww - Yes, I've seen this before, but it sure is painful to watch - in more ways than one! I've got to give Jack credit though, for going through with this. BTW, MIDNIGHT MARY is posted in parts on Youtube - check it out, and look for the part where Loretta whispers nasties into Ricardo's ear, and...

Hey Maven - I'm talking about "personally appealing" not, who had the better film career :) I'd go for Ricardo Cortez (Jacob Krantz) first as to me he can have an appearance of sophistication on top of that smoldering sex appeal, and then Jack La Rue (those lips, those eyes), who can be en...

He reminds me of Ricardo Cortez...and Jack LaRue. Yes, George caught my fancy once too (and he can dance!) but I would rank him behind both Ricardo and Jack these days. Now, the story I want to hear the scoop about, and maybe WesternGuy can elaborate, is Jack La Rue was originally cast to play the ...

Hi John - Firstly, I wanted to say your blog postings about the locations in THE ARTIST (which I found on another message board) really added to my enjoyment of that film! I had viewed the film once, and had only recognized the Cicada Club from photo's posted on their web site (hope to visit there s...

Why does Irving Pichel look like Mrs Danvers?
I guess I'll tune in for a bit tonight.

Weird - I tuned in Svengoolie on METV in the SF Bay area, and the lead in commercial was for DRACULA, but the movie they played was THE OFFERING. The local program schedule had DRACULA listed, so not sure what the deal was.I turned off the channel. REDRIVER - are you on the East Coast? Maybe THE OFF...

I'd like to thank Moira and everyone else who recommended I'll See You in My Dreams , which I would otherwise have overlooked. Patrice Wymore , best known for marrying Errol Flynn, plays a Broadway diva who looks and acts like a cross between Lauren Bacall and a deranged whippet. But don't they all...

ADVENTURES OF TARTU (1943). A British spy sets out to sabotage a Nazi gas factory in Czechoslovakia. Robert Donat, Valerie Hobson, Walter Rilla . SABOTAGE AGENT (1943). An undercover agent battles Nazis to save an aviation plant. Robert Donat, Valerie Hobson, Walter Rilla . A warning - this is the ...

Fe - no, has never played on TCM as far as I know (I've had TCM for 10 years) but I've seen it on US television in past decades. But guess what?????

Enjoy!

Wendy, I don't like giving away too much when I write about a film...spoils the fun. You'll love Mrs. Henderson, one of the production companies is the BBC. I hope this isn't giving anything away, but as film buffs we should all get extra enjoyment out of viewing MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS as it is a ...

An extensive retrospective of Howard Hawks (runner up in our SSO Favorite Director poll) films will be playing at The Stanford Theatre in Palo Alto, CA April 20 to June 24. Includes a back to back double bill of rare silents with GEORGE O'BRIEN (can't have too much of George..) on May 2nd and 3rd. I...

Kingme should be very happy Saturday night, with TCM honoring Rita Hayworth. Gilda and The Lady from Shanghai are classics, and Fire Down Below isn't bad. But what do our Rita experts think about The Happy Thieves, The Lady in Question , and Affair in Trinidad , none of which I've seen? Affair in T...

How cool - I've never heard of this before - thanks for posting! I'll need to play around with the navigation a bit - wondering if you can just browse collections? I got it to search for Artist name; Good - found Thomas Moran, one of my favorite painters; Bad - only 7 works shown. I'll need to check...
