Another dapper director. Looks like he hopes to be C. Aubrey Smith one day. Who do you suppose is behind the camera?

I Confess

Note: For those who want to be protected from plot points, spoilers will be printed in black. [Afterthought: Aw heck, maybe those who are nervous about spoilers should skip this entirely...] Finally saw Hitchcock's I Confess tonight on the big screen at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. It was part o...

ANNE FRANCIS (1930 - 2011) R.I.P. Hey, that's not just Anne Francis -- that's Honey West! Honey West and her pet Ocelot. She dazzled us kids on her weekly television show. But the most haunting television image of Anne Francis was her stint in The Twilight Zone episode of the confused woman who dis...

Re: *CANDIDS*

Love seeing the photo of Day, Garland and Mason having such a carefree moment on the Warner's lot. This was obviously during a break in the Star is Born shooting. Whenever Garland acquaintances ask what they best remember about Judy, they all respond with, "her sense of humor". But they ra...
