Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Sep 25, 2022
Before Hammer Film Studios began its regular output of horror films, they made quite a number of dramas and also experimented in other genres...including swashbucklers. One year before Richard Greene became the idol of youth in television's The Adventures of Robin Hood, Hammer tried their hand at sp read more
The Phantom Creeps (1939, Ford Beebe and Saul A. Goodkind), Chapter 7: The Menacing Mist
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 3, 2018
The Menacing Mist is endless. It starts with Bela Lugosi trying to kill Robert Kent with his remote control robot, but then he has to deal with some insurrection from lackey Jack C. Smith. Kent’s just doing action, so at least he’s not doing bad acting. Smith, on the other hand, is doing some bad read more
The Phantom Creeps (1939, Ford Beebe and Saul A. Goodkind), Chapter 1: The Menacing Power
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 23, 2018
The Menacing Power does all right setting up the hook of The Phantom Creeps–Bela Lugosi is a mad scientist with various technological inventions he’s going to use for nefarious purposes–and even manages to gracefully segue between the expository setup and the chapter’s cliffhanger. So far Lugosi’s read more

Loretta Young and a handsome John Shepperd catch a moment to discuss matters, whatever those matters be, before their morning ride in this scene from The Men in Her Life ( 1941 ).

When Marlon Brando Stopped Walking: The Men (1950)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 13, 2016
War is hell. We all agree on that. But the real hell doesn’t only happen during the conflict, but also when this one is over. Cities are destroyed, have to be rebuilt, countries are poor, families have lost relatives, and, the soldiers that are still alive are, for the most, mentally affected and read more
New from Warner Archive--Maya: The Complete Series, Jay North from Dennis the Menace Goest to India
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Sep 3, 2014
The lavishly-filmed Maya stars Jay North in a television role worlds apart from his famous turn as Dennis the Menace. Shot on location in India, it was an expensive show, and so-so ratings could not justify the cost beyond a single season. It's an unusual and interesting program though, and well wor read more

Bad Boys: The Men of Pre-Code
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 21, 2013
I admit it. I’m guilty of ignoring the pre-Code fellas. I’m so fond of gals like Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford, Carole Lombard and Loretta Young, Dorothy Mackaill and Joan Blondell (and I could go on and on and on) that I’m afraid I’ve given little attention to the manly side of these fascinating read more
Farewell to the Woman Behind the Men
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Apr 4, 2013
This being a ridiculous week, I've only just seen the obituary for Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, who went off in search of a room with a better view yesterday at the fine age of 85.
Jhabvala was the silent partner in the magical film duo-really-a-triad known as Merchant/Ivory, the writer whose work underpi read more

The Men was made 1949-1950 and is most notable for being Marlon Brando’s film debut. Because Brando was a Method actor, of the truest sense, he spent weeks in a wheelchair, in Birmingham Veterans Hospital in Van Nuys,California. He observed the men and participated in their therapy and daily acti read more
