What a difference a year makes: Lombard and "Hands Across the Table."
If 1934 was a breakthrough year for Carole Lombard with her star-making role in Twentieth Century, then her work in 1935 proved the previous year's performance was no fluke.

Trailer Trash: "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor..."
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Aug 7, 2009
Richard O'Brien's Shock Treatment landed with a dull thud on release in 1981; this semi-sequel to Rocky Horror didn't please that film's rabid fan base and failed to find one of its own, hampered by one of those seemed-like-a-good-idea marketing concepts, screening the movie onl read more

Time for a Remake?
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Apr 12, 2009
The Hilton Sisters, v. 1.0, were so much classier and more interesting than their modern namesakes, no? On the other hand, taking on a new version of this epic might be just the thing for Paris's flailing film career... read more

A Lakeshore Phenomenon?
Caftan Woman Posted by Caftan Woman on Feb 18, 2009
