Review: Duck Soup (1933)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 20, 2018
Up until this point in time, The Marx Brother’s all-out assault on humanity had still mostly been geared at the likes of stuffy socialites, gangsters, college campuses, authority figures, etc. Albeit entertaining but fairly straightforward worlds where there was not that much to be navigated read more
80 Years of Dolores Hart!
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 20, 2018
Oh, Dolores. Where do I start? Back in 2011, maybe? Well, that’s when I first heard about her anyway. You see, my uncle who is a writer wrote a book called Elvis & Dolores, which was published in 2013. The story takes place in 2010 in a small city of Maine. However, it actually revolves a read more

Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Oct 20, 2018
It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 500.

Roping in those 'Hearts And Spurs'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 20, 2018
The other day, we noted an artifact from one of Carole Lombard's Fox silent westerns with Buck Jones, "Gold And The Girl." Now another item from one of their unfortunately lost collaborations, "Hearts And Spurs," has surfaced. (It would be the only time Lombard would be directed by W.S. Van Dyke, wh read more
King Creole (1958): musical noir
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Oct 20, 2018
King Creole (1958): musical noir Há muitos debates sobre o que é noir. O noir é um movimento ou um gênero? Sendo movimento, significa que filmes de qualquer gênero podem ser considerados noir? Sendo gênero, o noir pode coexistir com outros gêneros? O que eu quero dizer é: pode haver read more
Review: Horse Feathers (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 19, 2018
At Paramount Pictures The Marx Brothers released a row of comedies with seemingly arbitrary names evoking fauna like Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, and of course Duck Soup. The phrase “Horse Feathers” is essentially a variation on “Nonsense” though it so read more
Rita Hayworth Is Gilda!
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 19, 2018
I’m finally back to blogathon business and, don’t worry, I’ll eventually give you an explanation why I recently skipped so many I had subscribed to. But for now, I hope you accept my apologies! Anyway, I said “enough” and made a choice: today, I’m writing for my read more
Halloween (2018, David Gordon Green)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 19, 2018
Halloween never met a MacGuffin it didn’t embrace. Jeff Fradley, Danny McBride, and director Gordon’s script strings together MacGuffins to make the plot. And if it’s not a MacGuffin, it’s something they’re not going to do anything with. With a handful of exceptions, Halloween is usually at read more

The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Oct 19, 2018
In 1969, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were arguably the world's most famous married couple, and they became even more well known when Burton bought his wife a 69-carat diamond ring that cost over a million dollars.

Keeping it under her hat
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 19, 2018
This Carole Lombard portrait is Paramount p1202-178, from sometime in 1931, picturing her in a stylish dark hat. I knew of at least two other p1202s taken at that session -- p1202-172......and p1202-174:But a Facebook entry at a Lombard site grouping the "hat" photos revealed the existence of yet an read more

Netflix, leading the rom-com revival?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Oct 18, 2018
If Carole Lombard and Robert Montgomery were to magically reappear today (hey, perhaps Bob's daughter Elizabeth could do some Samantha-style conjuring!) and they sought to make another romantic comedy a la "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," you might want to point them in the direction of Albuquerque.The New Mexic read more
Review: Trouble in Paradise (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 18, 2018
Ernst Lubitsch made a name for himself and his “touch” in silents as well as leaving an indelible mark on the 1940s with the likes of Shop Around The Corner (1940), To Be or Not to Be (1942), Heaven Can Wait (1943), and Cluny Brown (1946). But for me, no film better personifies his wit read more
