'Made' to be a mother?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 3, 2015
Perhaps Carole Lombard's character Jane Mason is having her doubts while the mother-in-law, played by Lucile Watson, looks on in a scene from "Made For Each Other." As the seller notes, "This is an original 8" x 10" black-and-white photo still" from the Selznick International film, released in early read more

Bachelor Mother (1939)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Dec 23, 2014
Several films have tackled the subject of “mistaken maternity,” but Bachelor Mother is the best! This 1939 comedy quietly slid underneath the rules of the Production Code by having our leading lady stumble upon a foundling child, as opposed to the film’s original plot of having the read more
Pic of the Day: “Unwed Mother” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 13, 2014
Today’s pic takes another gander at the unnamed but unnerving back-alley abortionist of the low-budget cautionary melodrama Unwed Mother (1958), directed by Walter Doniger. The unfortunate title character (Norma Moore) is definitely wondering what she’s gotten herself into at this point. read more

Video of the Week: “Unwed Mother” trailer
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Aug 20, 2014
Here’s another one from the archives (read: we’ve run out of new videos to post again!). It’s the trailer for Walter Doniger‘s Unwed Mother (1958), the cautionary drive-in tale of a naive gal (Norma Moore) done wrong. Timothy appears as the grouchy back-alley abortionist abou read more
Silent Movie Time Capsule: Mother Goose of the Motion Pictures from 1914
Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Jul 18, 2014
I am in a historical mood today (for reasons which will soon be apparent) and so I was digging through a July 1914 issue of Motion Picture Magazine. See what I found? Mother Goose poems extolling the virtues of the movies. Some historical context: While movies did not have the seedy reputation th read more
Pic of the Day: “Unwed Mother” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jun 23, 2014
Today’s pic is another from Unwed Mother (1958), directed by Walter Doniger. Timothy’s sweaty, disheveled abortionist looks here like he just wandered in from a German Expressionist film of the 1920′s. Tim’s brief appearance is definitely the highlight of this moralistic mel read more

"Three Cornered Moon," or Mother, Can You Spare a Dime?
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Nov 25, 2013
A year before she won an Oscar as a madcap heiress in "It Happened One Night," Claudette Colbert played a not-so-madcap, not-so-much-of-an-heiress in "Three Cornered Moon."
This 1933 film is an offbeat little gem, a kind of screwball ensemble drama that showcases just about everyone -- Colber read more
J'ai tué ma mère (I Killed My Mother)
Le Mot du Cinephiliaque Posted by Michael on Sep 9, 2013
J’ai tué ma mère (I Killed My Mother) (Xavier Dolan, 2009) Considered as the young prodigy of Quebecois Cinema, Xavier Dolan’s first feature is a not so juvenile effort. Far from being the masterpiece that many chauvinist film critics of the Province of Québec shouted out loud, J’ read more

Out of the Past - A Classic Film Blog Posted by Raquel Stecher on Nov 30, -0001
For Polly Parrish (Ginger Rogers) in Bachelor Mother (1939), the New Year is off to a bad start before it even began. Around Christmas time she gets a note from her employer John P. Merlin & Son, a New York City department store, that her services will no longer be needed after the holiday read more
