I don't know much about Buster Crabbe, but my guess is that women went for the sort of rough, he-man quality that Gable immediately showed. Never the biggest Gable fan, I always thought that I didn't tend to like that quality, myself. But I remember reading an excellent essay once in which the write...

Isn't there a sequence in On Golden Pond in which Jane Fonda (or someone) is viewing old photos of her parents in the movie, and you see a young Kate Hepburn and a young Hank Fonda together, thanks to photo retouching (no Photoshop, then!). I know tha...

The Three Musketeers (1948)
Watching this movie this morning, I was positively astounded at Gene Kelly's acrobatic athleticism. It was obvious he did most of his own stunts, and there were things he did that I hadn't realized he could do! On the whole, although I thought most of the acting OTT, The Three Musketeers was great f...

I've always found it interesting that the only dancers who can come close to the style of Astaire and Rogers are people who are gliding over ice! Watching a Sonja Henie picture recently, I was startled. She was cute, and skated beautifully, but the skill levels of ice skaters have risen so steadily ...

Broadway Melody of 1940
The thing that intrigues me about this movie is that FA's character in this movie is truly unusual for him. The movie contains lots of froth, no doubt--and I think great chunks of it are embarrassingly silly--but Astaire plays a more complex person than he usually does, and for the most part I think...
