Vicki (1953, Harry Horner)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 24, 2019
Vicki is an object lesson in why not to cast against type. Richard Boone plays an obsessive, highly decorated police veteran who is also supposed to be wimpy (except, literally, when beating up helpless people). About the only time Boone isn’t absurd is when he’s stalking his suspects, breaking read more

Gene vs. Jeanne: Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on May 24, 2019
Visually, John M. Stahl’s Leave Her to Heaven (1945) might be one of the most colourful films noir you’ll ever see in your life, but its narrative line is probably among the darkest ones of the movement. This film taking place with beautiful natural landscapes, instead of notorious neig read more

Classic Movies Posted by KC on May 24, 2019
Decades after getting his big break in Frankenstein (1931), Boris Karloff revisited the idea in Frankenstein 1970 (1958). This time he was the one harvesting body parts and playing with knobs as Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Karloff is the draw in this low-budget quickie production which recently made it read more

Lombard's luminosity in perfect Harmony, part 1
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 24, 2019
Intriguing image of Carole Lombard, isn't it? This is one I've never come across before; I'm guessing it's from the early 1930s. And truth be told, I may never have known it existed were it not for a lady named Sanniya Harmony -- for she not only found it, but used it to create this:The appropriatel read more

Sonja: the White Swan (2019) is a biopic of skating star Sonja Henie, who made records as an athlete and sparkled briefly, but potently as a movie queen in Hollywood musicals. I don’t know enough about this phenomenally successful athlete/actress to be able to say whether it succeeded in telli read more
Irreversible (2012, David Levinson)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 23, 2019
Irreversible is blissfully unaware of itself. It’s the story of dude-bro Timothy Paul Driscoll breaking up with girlfriend Alice Hunter, then the story of their relationship in reverse.

Ads 'Made For Each Other,' and that's the Truth
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 23, 2019
Carole Lombard and James Stewart made but one film together, 1939's "Made For Each Other." (They teamed multiple times on network radio.)
