Thanks so much for your response, Alan. I loved Richard Erdman in so many of his different character parts, especially as Hoffy in Stalag 17 and in Cry Danger . Do you have any Richard Erdman stories about Curtiz that you can share? Also, can you share with us how you think the loss of Curtiz's clo...

Alan, we are so happy you are here to visit with us about Michael Curtiz! Last night I was rewatching A Night At The Movies: Merry Christmas! from 2011, and historians discussed how Michael Curtiz worked on Casablanca and White Christmas with scripts that were hastily created or continued to be cha...

Alan, was it unusual for Michael Curtiz to be chosen to direct musicals? Thinking of his many action, gangster and dramatic movies, did he have to get the approval of an actor such as Jimmy Cagney before being allowed to direct Yankee Doodle Dandy? Did the status of Curtiz at Warner Bros. change af...

Great question, Christy! Alan, Could you please tell a bit about the challenges you faced in writing this book? How long did it take you to research, write and edit this incredibly detailed biography? Given the fact that Curtiz died in 1962, were there many people you could turn to for first hand a...

Thanks Moira for inviting me back to the Oasis to discuss MICHAEL CURTIZ A LIFE IN FILM. I certainly appreciate returning with a new book to discuss. 1.) I was drawn to Curtiz as a biographical subject for several reasons. My friend and colleague Pat McGilligan (also the Screen Classics editor at UO...

Hi Genevieve: thanks for doing this.

I am curious on how TCM handles their celebrity guests who attend the festival screenings. Aside from having them sign a standard release for video material, do you also pay your guests an honorarium fee?

Thanks!

Hi Charlie, So nice of you to come on to answer questions. Here's mine: 1. Are all or most of the films shown by TCM presented in digita-beta format transferred from a 35mm print ? 2. What about the films in the voluminous Warner library that haven't seen the light of day for eons particularly many ...

I found THE CAPTIVE CITY lackluster except for Lee Garmes' cinematography and the always-a-joy Ian Wolfe. Phil Karlson nailed it three years later with THE PHENIX CITY STORY I agree completely. I've never had anyone ask me to screen THE CAPTIVE CITY . Quite surprising for a Robert Wise helmed film;...
