Produced by Albert Zugsmith
I always love seeing that credit! I know it's going to be a wild ride...Douglas Sirk's "Written On The Wind," Orson Welles' "Touch Of Evil" and Russ Meyer's "Fanny Hill-"featuring Miriam Hopkins as a sixty-something madam! Looking forward to seeing that credit tonight o...

"But ya are, Blanche..."
I think MissG hit the nail on the head... Joan was more blessed in the "good looks" and glamour department and worked hard to maintain that image. Bette was more of a "plain Jane" and worked hard to get character roles to cement her reputation as a "great actress." Who ...

Calling Dr. Freud
I've always been a big fan of mental illness... TCM's latest "subliminal experiment" in saluting psychiatry has helped me to embrace mine... :shock: Last night I had a curious dream. (Cue fog.) I was in my living room-sitting in my favorite spot-watching a movie on TV. (I seldom dream abou...

She's not there...
I was looking forward to watching it, but my cable was out that night. I think I may have a VHS copy (previously taped from TCM) somewhere(?) Has it been released on DVD? Or VHS even? I found a website once selling bootleg copies of several Preminger titles on DVD-for $15. I bought "Skidoo"...

1001 Weirdest Scenes Ever!!
Another one of my faves. Who wouldn't love "the first monster musical" with cinematography from Vilmos Zsigmond! I also love "The Thrill Killers" with Liz Renay. Steckler and Liz live in Las Vegas. Liz used to appear in the Gay Pride Parade. Steckler used to have a video rental s...

Color me green...
Thank you, Marco, for such an inspired post. I was also cerebrally impacted by this unique and thoughtful gem. I'm seldom disappointed in a Dore Schary "picture." I'm also a fan of Joseph Losey. He began his career in the theatre-writing reviews and later directing. This led to his movie c...

Eureka!
Thank you, Moira! I don't know how I could forget such an easy(?) title like "Night Unto Night. I'm thilled that it was filmed-especially in the '40's by Don Seigel. Is it noir-ish? Thinking back on it, the novel did have a film noir feel-even in sun drenched Florida. I got the impression that ...

Yes Sir, Mr. Bones
Glad to see another fan of Ed Wood's film noir classic, "Jail Bait." Would love to hear from you on this one, Dewey... Wood also pays loving homage to many film noir classics-from "Dark Passage" to "Sunset Boulevard" to "The Third Man." At least, that fantasti...

"But when I'm bad, I'm better!"
Thanks for the info, Mr. Ark. I've read about "Maniac" and I simply must get it for my collection. Do you have Millcreek's "Drive-In Classics" and "Nightmare Worlds-"both containing 50! movies? Love the new avatar-of the tempestuous Sean Young. I'm sure you heard about ...

Awhile back I read this intriguing novel from Phillip Wylie. I can't recall the title...it was an old paperback that fell apart as I read it and (sad to say) could not be saved. The timeframe is WWII. A young woman is waiting for her husband to return from war. She waits in an oceanside house (windo...

Early Exploitation
I recently picked up a DVD box set from Mill Creek Entertainment called "Cult Classics-"at Big Lots for $6. It includes 20 of Hollywood's salacious curiosities from the '30's/'40's...all public domain, needless to say. Boy, did I get my money's worth!! So far, I've spent time with "Th...

Just say no...
Hey, CP...I haven't seen "Juno" I get the impression it was last year's "Little Miss Sunshine." I love those contemporary slices of Americana...for the masses...with an indie edge. Reminds me of way back in the '80's when some of my fave directors/writers were turning out these t...
