Those Damnable Dames: Love is a Racket (1932)
True Classics Posted by on Nov 27, 2013
New York City gossip columnist Jimmy Russell (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) knows all the right people, and all the wrong ones, too. Being on the Broadway beat means he spends quite a bit of time at Sardi’s, especially with his lady of the moment, aspiring actress Mary Wodehouse (Frances Dee)– read more
Easy to Love (1953)
The Blonde At The Film Posted by Cameron on Nov 25, 2013
This is my second favorite Esther Williams movie behind Dangerous When Wet (1953). It’s not surprising that these are my two favorite Esther movies as they were filmed only months apart, were both directed by Charles Walters (High Society, Easter Parade, Summer Stock), and both star Esther read more

Being in Love with Holiday Films
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Nov 18, 2013
Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and naturally, I’m getting
excited. However, it’s not the upcoming feast that’s making me happy (although
I would literally kill a family member if it got me a piece of pumpkin pie—with
whipped cream, obviously. I’m not a total animal.) No read more
I Live for Love (1935)
The Vintage Cameo Posted by Emily on Nov 17, 2013
I’m digging further into the mass of Busby Berkeleys I accumulated last week, and I’ve run into another odd, very un-”Berkeley”-like picture: I Live for Love. It’s very interesting to look at these smaller films as a kind of career in and of itself, moving parallel to read more
Love that Lizabeth!
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 13, 2013
A tawny-haired beauty with a smoldering gaze and a distinctively throaty voice, Lizabeth Scott is my film noir guilty pleasure. She’s no Sarah Bernhardt, it’s true – but she’s one of the quintessential bad girls of the noir era, and she’s just plain fun to watch! And on November 15th, TCM read more
I Love It When Things Work Out Perfectly....Happy Birthday Grace Kelly!
All Good Things Posted by monty on Nov 12, 2013
So today is Grace Kelly's birthday, which I already posted about on my Facebook blog page. But then I realized today happens to be Tuesday, which anyone who follows my blog knows that I have a series called If It's Tuesday, Then It Must Be Grace Kelly. I usually post photos, reviews of her films an read more
Indie Watch: Love in Motion
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Sean Fitzpatrick on Oct 6, 2013
I’m consistently tickled by the fact that, despite my general aversion to the genre in my daily life, my Indie Watch column regularly features appraisals of romantic comedies. In my better moments, I just watch the film and try to determine its good and bad qualities without applying too much of my read more
A Love Letter to The X-Files
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Jared Bratt on Sep 30, 2013
I have never written a love-letter before. I don’t foresee myself writing one anytime soon, but if I had to, if my life absolutely depended on it – Well than consider it done, and consider that white manila-envelope mailed out west care of The X-Files television-series producer, Chris C read more
Musical Monday: “Two Weeks with Love” (1950)
Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Sep 30, 2013
It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 500. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals. This week’s musical: “Two Weeks With Love read more

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Sep 29, 2013
Clara Bow is an Apache whose boyfriend is taken away by a do-gooder. Determined to show the goody-two-shoes a lesson, she decides to marry him. Yes, that is the plot they decided to go with. Clara was a very busy woman. Clara Bow was one of the hardest workers in Hollywood. Need proof? Well, this read more
Deciphering my love for classic movies!
Stardust Posted by Vanessa Buttino on Sep 29, 2013
Deciphering my love for classic movies!
Let's say that someone came and put two movies in front of me. One, a classic film and the other, a modern one. Which one would I choose to watch (and keep, for that matter)? A or B? Without a doubt and with very little hesitation, I'd definitely choose t read more
UPDATED | Selling out to The Man, or, how I stopped worrying and learned to love WordAds
Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Sep 16, 2013
People make their money different ways. Me? I’ll stick to advertising. NOTE: Ten days after publishing this article, I had a terrible shock. I had just published the announcement for my Lon Chaney Blogathon and had several browser tabs open. Then I heard it– an autoplay ad! Of all the t read more
Tragic Love in the Latin Quarter: Lillian Gish and La Bohème
True Classics Posted by Brandie on Sep 9, 2013
Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 Italian opera La bohème has seen many forms in the century since its first performance in Turin. The story–itself borrowed from Henri Murger’s 1851 collection Scènes de la vie de bohème–has been retold in many forms, with and without the music. It’ read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on Sep 5, 2013
People make their money different ways. Me? I’ll stick to advertising. You may have noticed that my blog has ads. There’s a reason for that. I have signed up for the WordAds program from WordPress.com. It seems that a fair amount of bloggers are curious about the program so I thought I read more

Backlots Posted by Lara on Sep 2, 2013
Today was a very special day at Cinecon, as guests anxiously awaited a much-anticipated Q&A session with the legendary Shirley Jones following a screening of April Love. As you may know, I am a big fan of Jones’ portrayal of the prostitute Lulu Barnes in Elmer Gantry and I was excited to read more

Five Reasons Why I Love Bette Davis
Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Aug 14, 2013
1. She was talented. Enough said. 2. Who needs glamour when you can have realism? When Bette Davis first signed with Warner Brothers, the executives at Warner’s had no idea what to do with her. Bette said of her early days at Warner’s, “I was known as the little brown wren. read more
Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles, On Screen: A Safe Place and Someone to Love
Pretty Clever Films Posted by John McIntyre on Aug 9, 2013
Henry Jaglom directed Orson Welles in two films, his debut, 1971’s A Safe Place, and Someone to Love, Welles’s last screen appearance. They’re essentially bookends to the friendship of the two men. In addition to showing Jaglom’s evolution as a filmmaker, they give a sense of Welles’ aura, read more
Modern Love: The Films of Leos Carax at TIFF
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Jovana Jankovic on Aug 7, 2013
It’s either fitting or bewildering that my introduction to the work of French auteur Leos Carax began with his latest film, the confounding and haunting Holy Motors (2012). Carax’s cinematic universes and the progression (if it can be called that) of his life’s work are hardly lin read more
