The Prowler (1951): a Jealous Husband Film Noir
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jul 25, 2023
Most film noirs are cautionary as well as bad luck tales. But there’s a particular type that seems to be created by untrusting husbands and wives, the “you’ll be sorry if you cheat” noir. The most memorable for many of us are Fatal Attraction (1987) for the disloyal husband, read more
Lon Chaney, Jr. Makes a Strange Confession
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Jul 24, 2023
Chaney Jr. and the black bag.
The most incongruent entry in Universal's six-film Inner Sanctum series is also one of the best. Whereas its brethren are psychological suspense tales, Strange Confession (1945) is a straight drama with a subtly gruesome conclusion.
Series regular Lon Chaney, Jr. read more

Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Lea Stans on Jul 20, 2023
Silents are Golden: A History of the Iconic Vitagraph Studios If you have even a passing interest in silent film, you’re no doubt familiar with the Keystone Film Company and Biograph–to say nothing of the Georges Méliès and Edison studios.

A Vivien Leigh Tribute in Stratford-Upon-Avon
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 10, 2023
As I was walking from the Royal Shakespeare Company to Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-Upon-Avon, I came across this sweet little tribute to legendary actress Vivien Leigh.

A killer gaze: Richard Burton and his ‘Medusa Touch’
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Toni Ruberto on Jul 8, 2023
A severely beaten man who has survived a heinous assault is
unconscious in a London hospital.
His head and face are wrapped in bandages with only his eyes (a key thing) and mouth visible. The heart monitor near his bed is flatlined, but inexplicably there is a small blip of brain activity. He isn read more
Don’t judge a film by its title… Million Dollar Legs (1939)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jul 3, 2023
Betty Grable, just like other sex symbols such as Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield, is nowadays more often remembered for her physical appeal than her acting and the films in which she starred. We particularly remember her for that utterly iconic pin-up photo showcasing her famous legs (insured fo read more
Down the Rabbit Hole with Cagney's Coat: This is when you know you've got a problem
A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jul 2, 2023
So, during covid I decided to indulge my obsession with James Cagney and watch all of his films - in order, mind you. And I did. And I liked it.However, when you spend a lot of time with someone, you get to notice things. Things like clothes, for instance.I kept seeing this coat over and over - in f read more
Betty Grable Takes a Walk on the Noir Side: I Wake Up Screaming (1941)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jul 1, 2023
I’ll admit it. I’ve only seen Betty Grable in two films. It’s not because I’m not a fan; I’ve always thought she was lovely, with a gorgeous figure – I’ve even read her biography – but she’s mostly a musical gal, and if you know me, you’ll know I’m not exactly the world’s biggest read more
It’s a Wonderful Life: The 2023 TCM Film Festival – Part 2
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jun 21, 2023
Groucho Marx was onto something when he said time flies like an arrow (and fruit flies like a banana). It’s been almost three months since I returned from the 2023 TCM Film Festival – before I know it, it’ll be time to start gearing up for the 2024 event! Before that happens, let me share read more
A Jolly Good Fellow… Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Frank Capra, 1936)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jun 18, 2023
It’s been ages since I’ve participated in a blogathon! The last time I did was actually in April 2022, and it was for one of my own blogathons… But life happened, and I just got busy with other things. My apologies to the bloggers whose blogathons I had to skip. Since things are ca read more
Silents are Golden: A Closer Look At – The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Lea Stans on Jun 15, 2023
Silents are Golden: A Closer Look At – The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) The silent era is synonymous with many things: tenderly-lit romances, wacky silent comedies, edgy German Expressionism, and, of course, big-budget spectacles. From Intolerance (1916) to Metropolis (1927), silent era epics read more

GlamAmor Posted by on May 18, 2023
Thanks to everyone who came to the first event for my Film Noir Style series at the American Cinematheque! Packed house, people raved about my talk, and lots of books signed and sold for the Larry Edmunds Bookshop. And I made it on the marquee! Wow. The second event of read more
Silver Screen Standards: A Woman’s Face (1941)
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Jennifer Garlen on May 9, 2023
Silver Screen Standards: A Woman’s Face (1941) Although it’s not as iconic as films like The Women (1939) or Mildred Pierce (1945), I really enjoy the George Cukor murder melodrama A Woman’s Face (1941) because it gives us a different view – quite literally – of star Joan Crawford. When read more
It’s a Wonderful Life: The 2023 TCM Film Festival – Part I
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on May 1, 2023
It was the best of times, it was the best of times. The 2023 Turner Classic Movies Film Festival was a stone gas. (And in case you weren’t around in the 1970s, that’s a good thing!) Not too long ago, I returned home after attending my ninth in-person TCM Film Festival, held in Hollywood each spring, read more

The Robe ( 1953 ) - A Behind-the-Scenes Snapshot
Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on Apr 8, 2023
Tonight, the Movies! channel will be airing The Robe at 8pm EST, so we couldn't resist posting this behind-the-scenes photo taken during the crucifixion scene of The Robe. This scene should have been filmed out-of-doors but perhaps the director thought they could control the lighting better wi read more

Colbert and MacMurray: Gilded Lily, Take a Letter Darling, Egg and I
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Apr 6, 2023
One of my latest ventures was to view a handful of romantic comedies of the ’30s and ’40s, many with screwball elements, and you could not broach this territory without eventually crossing paths with Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray. They starred in 7 films together throughout the de read more
