Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
This post is my hopelessly late contribution to the excellent British Empire in Film Blogathon (thank you, crippling four-day migraine). Go check out some of the other fine entries! When you’re done reading this one, of course. George More O’Ferrall’s “The Heart of the Matter read more

Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
This post is part of the Romantic Comedy Blogathon, hosted by Backlots and Carole & Co.! It’s hard to imagine Ernst Lubitsch, director of “The Love Parade” (1929), “Design for Living” (1933), and “Ninotchka” (1939), making something that isn’t a classy, urbane read more
“The Conformist” (1970) dir. Bernardo Bertolucci
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist (1970) is another movie I’ve been meaning to watch for ages and ages, another one of the films I know I should see. Unlike a lot of the great films one should see, this is one I immediately wanted to watch again. The Conformist is certainly a great film, a beauti read more

O woe is me, attending film festivals is getting in the way of my watching classic film. Luckily, I’ve got several blogathons coming up (see banners at right) to get me back into the classic swing of things. Before we return to our regularly scheduled programming, however, I’d like to te read more

Director Jean-Pierre Melville is famous for his lack of female characters, and the few women who do populate his universe frankly don’t have much character. Women are generally superfluous in Melville’s films; he is fascinated by (and makes fascinating) relationships among men. So the fact that read more
Madeleine Carroll Blogathon: I Was a Spy (1933) (3)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
One of the great pleasures of blogathons is discovering an old film, or an actor, or director and realizing that there’s still so, so many wonderful classic films yet to see. It’s sort of like knowing that there’s still a bunch of Graham Greene novels I haven’t read. Maybe t read more

Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Unexpected gem: “Cactus Flower,” directed by Gene Saks, viewed thanks to Turner Classic Movies. Saks, who also directed “Barefoot in the Park” (1967) and “The Odd Couple” (1968), worked a fair amount with writer/producer Neil Simon. More recently, he played Woody read more
Jacques Tati’s Playtime (1967): The Social Art of Tativille
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
(and then I got horribly sick—children are Petri dishes of contagion —so it’s only, uh, three weeks late) Anyway, check out the plethora of great posts from the Blogathon! French filmmaker Jacques Tati was only able to make six feature-length films, but each film, right from the beginning read more
