Day 28 of Noirvember: Happy 100th Birthday, Gloria!
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 28, 2023
I first met her decades ago as a sassy flirt in the 1946 Christmas classic, It’s a Wonderful Life. Since then, Gloria Grahame has become one of my favorite noir femmes, turning in standout performances in a spate of shadowy classics. Grahame was born Gloria Grahame Hallward in Los Angeles, 100 years read more

Happy Thanksgiving from Jeanne Crain, Paul Brinkman and the Classic Movie Man
I want to believe that Jeanne actually made that turkey. Jeanne Crain and her husband Paul Brinkman, an Errol Flynn look-alike if there ever was one.

Happy Halloween, Old Movie Weirdos!
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Oct 30, 2023
I grew up watching old movies on television. We didn’t have streaming, physical media, or even cable when I was an Old Movie Weirdo in training, but we did have broadcast TV: seven free channels of old-fashioned, over-the-air goodness (eight, if you count the snowy UHF signal from a distant la read more

Happy Birthday, Jeanne Crain
I’m a huge fan of Jeanne Crain. She was one of the most
popular movie stars from the mid-to-late 1940s to the early 1950s.A favorite of studio chief Daryl F. Zanuck at 20th
Century-Fox, Crain was cast as the girl next door in the mold of Janet Gaynor,

Noirvember Day 28: Happy Birthday, Gloria!
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 28, 2022
There was nobody in Hollywood like Gloria Grahame. She could be sweetly naïve, sexy and shrewd, broadly humorous, or just plain deadly. And she was equally adept at each. While I’ve enjoyed her performances in films like It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) and Oklahoma! (1955), it’s Grahame’s noirs, read more

Noirvember Day 24: Happy Thanksgiving, the Marilyn Way
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 24, 2022
When you think of Marilyn Monroe movies, you may envision Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, or The Seven-Year Itch, or Some Like It Hot, but of course I think of her film noir appearances. During her 15-year career, she was seen in four noirs: The Asphalt Jungle (1950), Clash By Night (1952), Don’t Bo read more
Noirvember Day 19: Happy Birthday, Gene Tierney
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 19, 2022
While she’s arguably one of classic Hollywood’s most beautiful stars, Gene Tierney – in my opinion – doesn’t always get the acclaim she deserves for her acting ability. But she was outstanding in films like The Razor’s Edge (1947) and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) and turned in memorable read more

Something Wild (1986): Happy is a Yuppie Word
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 14, 2021
One of my favorite bands penned a song called “Happy is a Yuppie Word.” I never spent much time dwelling on the meaning of the statement, but as I grow older, it somehow takes on more pertinent meaning. If I remember correctly, Bob Dylan gave an interview with Rolling Stone magazine whe read more
Musical Monday: As Long As They’re Happy (1955)
Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Mar 1, 2021
It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals. This week’s musical: As Long As They’re read more
Happy Noir Endings
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Feb 28, 2021
A couple of weeks back, in one of the noir-related Facebook groups that I frequent, a poster commented that film noir movies “don’t have happy endings.” This was disputed by several in the group, and I’m in agreement with them; while I love a downbeat noir ending as much as the next person, read more
Happy 5th Anniversary to Three Enchanting Ladies!
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Jan 14, 2021
Three Enchanting Ladies I created this blog five years ago already! Curiously enough, this is the first time I’m celebrating the anniversary of this blog. Since I publish, like, two posts a year (ok, maybe a bit more), I didn’t think it was significant to celebrate each year. However, five years read more
