It’s my pleasure to announce that The Hollywood Revue has been nominated for Best Classic Blog in the 2011 LAMMY awards! The old cliché of saying it’s just an honor to be nominated is 100% true. A very sincere thank you to all who nominated me and put me in the company of fantastic bl read more

Memorial Day weekend is just a few days away and in commemoration of this special holiday, The Lady Eve's Reel Life is giving away a copy of the DVD boxed set Errol Flynn Adventures from TCM Spotlight/Warner Home Video.

Here’s some more interesting notes on The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, from www.filmmonthly.com. Jon Sebastien is maybe a little too harsh on American filmmakers of 1920 (no deeper than a puddle?), but he more distinctly draws the direct line to from Caligari to Tim Burton, specifically Edward Sc read more

Let’s talk about the now-little-known Constance Bennett for a few minutes. The ghost-story-comedy-romance movie TOPPER (1937) clinched her reputation as a gifted, if nonchalant, comedienne. Replying to a request for an interview in the mid-1960’s, Bennett said, “I’m flattered that you want read more

While I know quite a bit about the stars (being a veteran Hollywood Star Gazer and Astrologer), there are few in the galaxy who have managed to escape me, but intrigue me. Nancy Carroll is an actress who first caught my eye via still photographs. Remember those volumes of theme books you could buy t read more

Is there anything left to be said about Cary Grant? As time goes by, he is probably the most popular, most enduring and endearing of all classic Hollywood stars. We love him and have praised him and will continue to praise him to the skies. We never tire of him. He could do it all and I can find no read more

Where do I begin on Dumbo? It’s difficult to bring myself to write a synopsis, because I feel like it would be a rather superfluous thing to do. I suppose I’ll get straight to talking about its merits. I loved Dumbo as a child. I can’t remember what about it particularly, but I lov read more

So, I'm sitting here in my little apartment, trying to get my dog and cat to get along, debating whether or not I should use the hula hoop I got for my birthday, last week, when it hits me.

Here is another Mitchum skit from Saturday Night Live with Dana Carvey and Phil Hartmann called "The Beggar". It's not particularly good. Death Be Not Deadly is much better.
