Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Jun 10, 2018
A Gata dos meus Sonhos / Gay Purr-ee (1962) Eu AMO animação. E esta é a razão pela qual eu não escrevo críticas de filmes de animação com frequência: eu fico tão maravilhada, impressionada e imersa neste tipo de filme que eu seria capaz de apenas elogiar quase todas as animações que read more
For Clark and Carole, a Coke and a smile
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 9, 2018
It's no secret that Carole Lombard enjoyed drinking Coca-Cola, back in the day when the soda came in the ubiquitous 6 1/2 ounce bottles with a greenish tint. (It always was fun to examine the bottom of the bottle when through to see the location of the Coke bottler that originally produced it.) Here read more
For a site linked to Lombard, a tragic milestone
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 5, 2018
Carole Lombard and Russ Columbo enjoy an evening out in 1934 at a place with plenty of history for both. Nearly a decade earlier, a teenaged Lombard regularly danced in contests there against the likes of Joan Crawford; a few years later, musician and singer Columbo performed there as part of Gus Ar read more
A lot of 'Allure' (and Lombard) to show you
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 2, 2018
Did Carole Lombard have plenty of sex appeal? That photo of her in a swimsuit, from the June 1932 issue of Modern Screen, supplies an obvious answer (https://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/817111.html). Half a decade later, Carole still possessed the power to make men melt.Don't believe me? I'll give read more
A Canção da Liberdade / Song of Freedom (1936)
Critica Retro Posted by Lê on Jun 1, 2018
A Canção da Liberdade / Song of Freedom (1936) Um conhecedor de filmes, quando ouve “Hammer Films”, pensará em filmes de horror, como os da série do Drácula com Peter Cushing e Christopher Lee. Eles não estão errados. Entretanto, a Hammer Films engloba muito mais que isso: read more
Review: A Place in the Sun (1951)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on May 31, 2018
George Stevens is only one among a plethora of filmmakers who came back from WWII changed. He had seen a great deal of the world’s ugliness — Dachau Concentration Camp for instance — and as a result, the films he made thereafter were more mature ruminations on humanity at l read more
Billie: A Missed Opportunity to Promote Girl Power
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on May 31, 2018
Made between the second and third seasons of The Patty Duke Show, the teen comedy Billie (1965) is a best-forgotten stain on the resumes of its star and her veteran supporting cast. Indeed, the only reason to watch this ill-conceived adaptation of the 1952 Broadway play Time Out for Ginger read more

Dancing Lady: A Film that Subsists on Chemistry Alone
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on May 27, 2018
Let’s consider the reasons Joan Crawford is a terrible choice to star in Dancing Lady (1933), one of those films about an aspiring hoofer, Janie, who is willing to do anything but trade sexual favors to get on the stage, and who is so talented she actually makes it. 1. So talented at dancing? read more

Getting a read on 'Stand Tall!' today
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 26, 2018

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on May 26, 2018
Another Saturday means another Saturday Double Feature! Okay, let’s start with a quick recap of the “rules”, shall we? The basic idea here is to take a movie that is out in theaters now, and pair it up with another movie from the 1980s or before. Sometimes the connection will be ob read more
For Carole and car buffs...and a fantastic Cup final
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 25, 2018
While she's shown here posing on the passenger side of a vehicle, Carole Lombard loved cars. Her passion for them wasn't to the level of second husband Clark Gable, mind you; Carole's cars were more utilitarian than fancy (generally sedans that called little attention to herself), and she preferred read more
