GlamAmor Posted by on Aug 7, 2014
As I have recently returned from the La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival, thoughts of both modern and classic fashion films have filled my mind. People have continued to ask me my favorites, which of course include any number of the The Style Essentials. But though that list may read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Aug 4, 2014
William E. Thomas is best known today for his rather racy photographs of Carole (or, as she was known at Pathe at the time, Carol) Lombard in the late 1920s...but he had the skill to take portraits of her that reflected entirely different moods, such as bridal-themed pictures or those, such as this, read more
A Caixa Mágica / The Magic Box (1951)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Aug 3, 2014
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

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Aug 3, 2014
By Fritzi Kramer on August 3, 2014 in Blog, Theme Month I do so love a good mystery! This month, I am going to be celebrating a very specific sub-genre, plus some added gems of atmospheric murder.

Celebrities in a cemetery in the day, a rainy Ravine at night
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Aug 3, 2014
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
Now THAT is how you throw a tantrum! Animated GIF
Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Aug 2, 2014
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
Indeed, a 'rarely-seen pose'
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Aug 2, 2014
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

True Classics Posted by on Aug 1, 2014
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

Pitfall: A Suburban, Middle-Class Film Noir
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Jul 28, 2014
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
