In a 1956 interview with journalist Hal Boyle, Peyton Place author Grace Metalious said: "To a tourist, these towns look as peaceful as a picture postcard. But if you go underneath that picture, it's like turning over a rock with your foot--all kinds of strange things crawl out. Everybody that lives read more

The very first Route 66 Corvette. You could make an argument that the Corvette was one of the stars of Route 66. After all, there wouldn't have been a show without it.

It's hard to believe it's been three decades since screenwriter John Hughes' tale of teen love first graced the silver screen.

Mavis is about to be murdered. It's a shame that Roy William Neill never got to direct an "A" film during his tenure at Universal Pictures in the 1940s. I'd rate him as the studio's best low-budget director. His films typically had atmosphere and visual flair to spare. He is best remembered for Fra read more

Seven in Darkness (1969). The first film broadcast by ABC under its Movie of the Week banner is a well-made suspense adventure bolstered by a nifty premise.
