Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 5, 2021
Today’s Noirvember post shines the spotlight on the skeevy, slimy, but unforgettable Charlie Borg in Wicked Woman (1953). WHAT’S WICKED WOMAN ABOUT?

Stardust and Shadows Posted by Terry on Oct 23, 2018
Firstly I can say that I am a big Errol Flynn fan who doesn’t think he has gotten what he deserves in terms of recognition from Hollywood. That doesn’t cloud me in thinking that everything a “Star” did was correct or wonderful that it deserves to be read more

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Apr 16, 2018
Don’t you love this shot? You’re going to love this movie even more. Even classic film lovers who aren’t film noir aficionados have heard of such classics as Double Indemnity, Laura, and Out of the Past, am I right? But what of those low-budget Bs that no one ever talks about? The ones read more

My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn (1985)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Apr 5, 2014
My Wicked, Wicked Ways is the bastard cousin of Gable and Lombard, if Gable and Lombard was a TV movie instead of a big-screen presentation.

THOSE WICKED WICKED WAYS

A note from Lindsey: I’m well aware that this film falls far out of the usual review range. However, I’ve decided to review it because it was the final film of Bette Davis, one of the most beloved stars of the classic era.
