A Caixa Mágica / The Magic Box (1951) Na minha opinião, o melhor cineasta ainda em atividade é Martin Scorsese. Não apenas porque os filmes dele são de excelente qualidade, mas principalmente porque ele ama os filmes antigos. Scorsese é um admirador e apóia as campanhas de conservação read more

Carole Lombard gives young Jackie Cooper support as he races down a Paramount street against Groucho and Harpo Marx in 1933. But look to the top of the photo, to that wall at the end of the street. On the other side is a place whose history is every bit as colorful as its cinematic neighbor (in fact read more

By Fritzi Kramer on August 2, 2014 in Blog, GIF, Humor Tantrums are highly underrated. A correctly timed one can put your point across rather nicely. Of course, a badly timed one will make you look like a nut. Know the difference Rosemary Theby is teaching Elinor Fair a lesson she won’t soon read more

I had a delightful time this morning, taking the Hollywood Forever cemetery tour conducted by Karie Bible -- 2 1/2 hours of informative fun, well worth the $15. More on that tomorrow, but for now, a picture of Carole Lombard I've never seen before. The seller labels it a "rarely-seen pose," a claim read more

In 1934, director Frank Capra released the seminal classic It Happened One Night, a picture that helped define the relatively new genre of screwball comedy. On the heels of that film’s monumental success, Capra followed up with another comedy, Broadway Bill. But while Night became a perennial read more

In a 2006 article for L.A. Weekly, French filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier called Pitfall (1948) "a film to rank among the best, the sharpest and the most original of noirs." I'm not sure I'd rank Pitfall with the genre's finest, but it's nonetheless a highly-effective drama that breaks free of the read more

By Fritzi Kramer on July 27, 2014 in Blog, Feature, Silent Movie Review, Silents vs Talkies One of the finest, best-acted and most beautiful mega-epics ever made, Michael Strogoff has catapulted to the top of my favorites list. The compliment is not given lightly. Jules Verne’s red-blooded Siberian read more

After seeing what a lackluster bunch of athletes the Godolphin track team is made up of, new coach Steve Walker ( Dean Jones ) has his doubts that he can whip them into shape for the new season and begins to despair. Just look at that despondent face....but by thunder! Why should he d read more

Yesterday's TCM Facebook feed asked what movies we would choose given the opportunity to be a Guest Programmer. I thought, Oh yeah, I've got this. That is until it dawned on me that Guest Programmers only choose four movies. Four movies? How could any lover of classic movies choose only four movies? read more

It's July 1925, and 16-year-old Carole Lombard is a Fox contract player, fresh off being Edmund Lowe's leading lady in "Marriage In Transit." (It's unclear whether it can be called a success; the film is lost, and years later Lombard disparaged her performance.) Regardless, Carole was of relative in read more

I’ve been trying to get my sisters into classic movies for a couple decades now. I have failed utterly.
