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

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 29, 2019
With Clarence Brown directing and a polished cast headed by Greta Garbo and John Gilbert, A Woman of Affairs (1928) rises above the limitations of its material: a scandalous novel neutered for the screen. Now available on DVD from Warner Archive, this second pairing of Brown and Garbo’s celebr read more

What a Woman! (1943) with Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne
Classic Film Freak Posted by Greg Orypeck on Feb 11, 2016
Share This! She’s the Smartest Woman Who NEVER Got Kissed. One can wonder what there is about What a Woman! that deserves mention, certainly on any extended level, a review, say. Not very much, really. That it might provide, under the proper conditions, some degree of entertainment on a cold read more

Aug 24 Posted by aaronwest A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, JOHN CASSAVETES, 1974 What I love about Criterion is that they tend to canonize the most important films.
