Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Happy Anniversary! Premiered January, 29th, 1964

Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Jan 29, 2014

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a (pardon the following puns) buckish, ripping, almost as strange as a real life yarn, with a story line as big as the Empire State Building-climbing gorilla himself. A little love is saluted along the way, jokes coming at read more

'Liberty,' Nov. 14, 1936: Is Carole Lombard in love at last?

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jan 25, 2014

In November 1936, about the time Carole Lombard entered the Los Angeles Hall of Records to officially change her name from Jane Alice Peters, Bernarr Macfadden's Liberty magazine ran a story about her, focusing not so much on her career as an actress but her personal -- heck, romantic -- life.We ran read more

Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Mildred Pierce

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jan 22, 2014

Along with Double Indemnity, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and Sudden Fear, Mildred Pierce is one of the few films noirs that I have had the pleasure of seeing on the big screen. Because of this, it’s a sentimental favorite of mine, but I also love it on its own merit – and there’s so much to read more

Cecil B. DeMille in 1915: Hot Sands, Hotter Love, Tenements and Wild Geese

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Jan 13, 2014

Last time, we learned that Cecil B. DeMille started 1915 with a shaky mix of established stage stars, popular plays and his own original material. We ended with The Captive, an original story created by DeMille and his collaborator Jeanie Macpherson. The tale was likely designed to get one more use read more

HER Review: Love Bytes

ScribeHard on Film Posted by Michael Nazarewycz on Jan 11, 2014

Virtual relationships are not unlike traditional relationships. I’ve been on Twitter since April 2011.  During my near-three years and 11,000+ tweets on the social networking site, I’ve enjoyed friendships of varying depths, just as if I had met the same folks at school or at work or in read more

I love to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a

Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on Jan 8, 2014

Owl Jolson loves to sing-a. You may see me dancing around the office, shaking my finger and singing the tune from this Warner Brothers cartoon. The 1936 cartoon “I Love to Singa” is one of those cartoons I saw as a child that has always stuck with me. Every night before bed, I watched Warner Brothe read more

3 Things I Love About THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES (1946)

Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Jan 5, 2014

Confession: I was bored and unmoved the first time I watched THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. Before you start penning your hate mail, I was in my early twenties at the time, and my idea of a “war film” was BUCK PRIVATES (1941), the 84-minute Abbott and Costello romp in which the draft looks like an read more

"There may be trouble ahead, but while there's music and moonlight and love and romance, let's face the music and dance..."

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Dec 26, 2013

To honor the 80th anniversary of the pairing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, I wrote a post about the origins of their teaming, so today, I decided to post my personal list of Fred and Ginger’s films in order of my least favorite to favorite. This was a bit of a challenge for me, because I read more

Film Passion 101: Falling in Love Again

Lady Eve's Reel Life Posted by The Lady Eve on Dec 3, 2013

The Gay Divorcee airs tonight on TCM as part of its  month-long tribute to Fred Astaire Watching a console TV for long stretches from the living room floor and a distance of not more than a few feet was a good part of a typical day for most tots of my era. Much of what we watched was “ read more

CMBA Blogathon: The People That Inspired My Love of Classic Films

Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Dec 2, 2013

Have you ever asked a classic film fan how they became an admirer of classic cinema? Many of them can't provide a definitive answer--like so many things in life, their love of classic films just evolved over time. For others, though, the answer might be one life-altering film experience. Or, it coul read more

Favourite Film Stars: Why I Love Audrey Hepburn

Sunset Blvd Posted by Rachel T on Nov 30, 2013

I do not believe there is anyone out there that doesn’t admire Audrey Hepburn, if only a little.  Some perhaps know her best as the spunky ‘Liza Doolittle, the cockney flower-girl often heard twittering a happy tune. For others, her name conjures up a crystalline image of a young lady wa read more

Short Film Saturday: Love Is All You Need?

The Movie Rat Posted by Bernardo Villela on Nov 30, 2013

I recently saw a PSA entitled “What if Straight Were Gay?” However, a piece that short doesn’t have the time to take the facts and reverse the players. This 20-minute short does and it thinks of virtually everything. This film is not rated by the MPAA or any other body so far as I read more

Those Damnable Dames: Love is a Racket (1932)

True Classics Posted by on Nov 27, 2013

New York City gossip columnist Jimmy Russell (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) knows all the right people, and all the wrong ones, too. Being on the Broadway beat means he spends quite a bit of time at Sardi’s, especially with his lady of the moment, aspiring actress Mary Wodehouse (Frances Dee)– read more

Easy to Love (1953)

The Blonde At The Film Posted by Cameron on Nov 25, 2013

This is my second favorite Esther Williams movie behind Dangerous When Wet (1953). It’s not surprising that these are my two favorite Esther movies as they were filmed only months apart, were both directed by Charles Walters (High Society, Easter Parade, Summer Stock), and both star Esther read more

Being in Love with Holiday Films

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Nov 18, 2013

Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and naturally, I’m getting excited. However, it’s not the upcoming feast that’s making me happy (although I would literally kill a family member if it got me a piece of pumpkin pie—with whipped cream, obviously. I’m not a total animal.) No read more

I Live for Love (1935)

The Vintage Cameo Posted by Emily on Nov 17, 2013

I’m digging further into the mass of Busby Berkeleys I accumulated last week, and I’ve run into another odd, very un-”Berkeley”-like picture: I Live for Love. It’s very interesting to look at these smaller films as a kind of career in and of itself, moving parallel to read more

Love that Lizabeth!

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 13, 2013

A tawny-haired beauty with a smoldering gaze and a distinctively throaty voice, Lizabeth Scott is my film noir guilty pleasure. She’s no Sarah Bernhardt, it’s true – but she’s one of the quintessential bad girls of the noir era, and she’s just plain fun to watch! And on November 15th, TCM read more

I Love It When Things Work Out Perfectly....Happy Birthday Grace Kelly!

All Good Things Posted by monty on Nov 12, 2013

So today is Grace Kelly's birthday, which I already posted about on my Facebook blog page. But then I realized today happens to be Tuesday, which anyone who follows my blog knows that I have a series called If It's Tuesday, Then It Must Be Grace Kelly. I usually post photos, reviews of her films an read more
