Mill Creek Musings: Love from a Stranger (1937)

The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Nov 4, 2012

Welcome to Mill Creek Musings, a segment in which I work my way through the three low-price Mill Creek film sets that I own, reviewing each film for content and quality along the way. Love from a Stranger marks my second viewing from the 50 Dark Crimes set. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to Europe we read more

Not figuring out the Love from Wilder

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Oct 24, 2012

That stunning portrait of Carole Lombard was taken by Eugene Robert Richee to promote her 1933 film "White Woman" (thanks to Tally Haugen for making it available). It has nothing to do with the following anecdote, which involves a man who knew and liked Lombard, but unfortunately never had the chanc read more

Historical Context: Love according to True Story, 1955 (Part II: Engaged Love)

The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Oct 14, 2012

Appropriately enough, the June 1955 issue of True Story features a woman wearing what appears to be a wedding veil. Inside, the issue gives advice to engaged couples. (Scanned for TMP from my personal collection) (This post is the second in a two-part series featuring excerpts from two 1955 magazine read more

Clark and Carole star in Love Field

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 3, 2012

Carole Lombard was in a potentially awkward situation in December 1939 when "Gone With The Wind" made its long-awaited, triumphant debut. As the wife of Clark Gable, she certainly had to attend, and as a film aficionado herself (not to mention someone who harbored eventual producing ambitions of her read more

I Love Lupe: Warner Archive Re-ignites the “Mexican Spitfire”

Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Aug 26, 2012

Trivia question: what was the first comedy series to feature a hot-tempered, Latin-born musical performer who mangled the English language and launched into paroxysms of invective en Espanol when angered by a Caucasian spouse? If you said I Love Lucy, you’d be wrong. The correct answer is Mexi read more

Falling in love with Gene Kelly is just so hard to do (… not).

True Classics Posted by on Aug 21, 2012

Joe: “We’re trying to tell a story with music, and song, and dance. Well, not just with words. For instance, if the boy tells the girl that he loves her, he just doesn’t say it, he sings it.” Jane: “Why doesn’t he just say it?” Joe: “Why? Oh, I don&# read more

Cruel, Cruel Love (1914, George Nichols)

The Stop Button Posted by on Aug 21, 2012

Cruel, Cruel Love has a lot of possibilities. Sadly, director Nichols doesn’t realize any of them. He’s interested in broad physical humor–wrestling, actually–and having Charlie Chaplin mug for the camera. Chaplin does a fine enough job mugging, but it goes on forever. Love read more

How Much Do I Love “The Movies”?

The Giddy Blog Posted by chrisgiddens on Aug 17, 2012

My apologies for slacking on the blog postings recently. It is due in part to this: A Story of Our Hero – To 1930 & Beyond! (which also partly answers the question posed above).  Believe it or not, I’m not very good at the whole self-promotion thing, and so I simply ask that you plea read more

Bad Movies I Love (Part Four of Four)

This is yet another post that has been inspired by Bob Freelander and his wonderful blog Rupert Pupkin Speaks. Check it out, if you haven’t already. I’ve ruminated on this list long enough I believe.
