Johnny Belinda (1948) and Evoking Silent Cinema
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jan 21, 2021
I must admit to committing an unforgivable fallacy. Maybe I’m the only perpetrator, but there might be others too. In my own mental computations, I often attribute Jane Wyman as the first wife of Ronald Reagan more than I equate her with her acting career. And though Nancy Davis hardly built read more

“When I was a child I spake like a child…” ~ 1 Corinthians 13 Like the previous year’s Valley of Decision, The Yearling opens with an establishing shot paired with Gregory Peck’s voice, this time in a folksier register. Aside from being unoriginal, one can hardly conde read more

Book Review: ‘Marlon Brando’ by Patricia Bosworth
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jan 17, 2021
Some years ago, I stopped in a used books sale next to a church with a friend who loves books (she works as a librarian now). As we were browsing around the books, she spotted a biography book on Marlon Brando and immediately caught my attention as she knew I was a fan of him. As it was inexpensive read more

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jan 17, 2021
Happy New Year, classic film lovers!

On her 79th angel day
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jan 16, 2021
I admittedly haven't written much of late about Carole Lombard and classic Hollywood on this site. It's not health-related -- aside from a weak chest, I've felt fine, and I take every precaution when going outside to protect others as well as myself.

Valley of Decision (1945): Greer Garson & Gregory Peck
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Jan 16, 2021
Gregory Peck’s pleasantly resonant voice brings us into the moment. The scene is unimaginative yet unmistakable with its obviously scaled-down establishing shot. Pittsburgh. Smokestacks and steel. These are the days of Andrew Carnegie and the transcontinental railroad wrapping its way east to read more

Hometowns to Hollywood Posted by Annette Bochenek on Jan 15, 2021
Katharine Hepburn‘s brownie recipe is one that certainly intrigues classic film fans. When I first encountered the recipe in a cook book, I immediately wanted to get a “taste” of classic film history and indulge in this recipe from a confident and celebrated classic film star. The read more
