The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Sep 27, 2019
Chimes at Midnight opens with Orson Welles and Alan Webb, both aged men in the Medieval Ages, bumbling (probably at least somewhat drunkenly) in for the night; they sit at a fire and gently reminisce about their youth.

“You’re in a fine mess! You got to get a divorce from a man you’re not even married to!” It was only a recent revelation that Claudette Colbert at times feels far too sophisticated to be playing beautiful hitchhikers or penniless taxi passengers as she does in It Happened On read more

“There live not three good men unhanged in England. And one of them is fat and grows old.” It seems Orson Welles never did anything on a cursory level. There’s always a gravitas — the unique personality of the man displayed in his work whether it is behind the camera or in fr read more
