They Won’t Believe Me (1947)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 8, 2018
We open in a courtroom and with a flashback but what’s stunning is that the man relating the information is on the witness stand and also the defendant in a murder trial. So much hangs in the balance of the perspective he’s about to disclose and that’s how the picture nabs us. Oft read more
Watching 1939: They All Come Out (1939)
Comet Over Hollywood Posted by on May 10, 2018
In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, th read more

They May Not Be So Fast, But He’s Very Furious – Runaway Match (1903)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 24, 2018
There are movies that rely on car chases, such as the Fast and Furious series I referenced in the title. There are also movies that heavily feature car chases as part of their plot. One of the most notable is The French Connection. Another personal favorite is the over-the-top chase scene in The Blu read more
Are They Talking About The Monster Or The Movie? – From Hell It Came (1957)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jan 8, 2018
A while back I realized that Hulu had picked up the 80’s TV police series Hill Street Blues and remembering how much I liked it during its initial run, decided it was time for a grand rewatch. So far I’m about half-way through the third season, and it’s definitely holding up to my read more
So after the wedding, where did they go?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 19, 2017
The particulars of the marriage between Carole Lombard and Clark Gable on March 29, 1939 have led to confusion, legend and just plain falsehood. We know they wed in Kingman, Ariz., and met the press at their soon-to-be home in Encino on March 30. (The photo above was snapped on that day.)But how'd t read more

My contribution to the blogosphere has been discreet lately
and appart from posting a movie review here and there I haven’t participated in
Blogathons or other events. So it was quite a surprise to be nominated for an
award.

Anime Entryway – They Were 11 (1986)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Sep 22, 2016
I don’t write much about anime here, simply because I don’t watch that much of it nowadays. However, back in the 90s, when it was seeing its first real American boom thanks to a home video market that was desperate for all kinds of content, I did watch quite a bit and found a lot to like read more

They say it's my birthday...
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 19, 2016
As of a few minutes ago, I turned 61. I find that hard to believe.Not because I've lived the type of life that would make reaching that milestone an improbability; I'm hardly the daredevil sort. And I can't claim to be in the usual condition to celebrate, not what with all that's gone on during 2016 read more

How did they get away with it? Advertisements for Footlights Parade (1933)
Lets Misbehave: A Tribute to Precode Hollywood Posted by Emma on Aug 13, 2016
Hollywood
studios during the Precode era were some of the best at promoting films. On
some occasions the films publicity posters, advertisements and promotional
events were more interesting than the films themselves. Footlights Parade (1933), a movie filled dozens of chorus girls in skimpy
outfits p read more
Franchot's Lemon Pie Merengue (or so they say!)
Finding Franchot: Exploring the Life and Career of Franchot Tone Posted by Franchot Tone Fan on Jun 11, 2016
I have a booklet titled Foods and Fashions of 1936 that the Fox Crane Theatre (Carthage, Missouri) sold for $1.00 in 1936. It includes a dedication to the recently deceased Will Rogers in the front. The rest of the booklet is all foods and fashions as the title suggests. A photo of Franchot ac read more
Why Do They Keep Wanting Christopher Walken To Sing? – Jungle Book (2016)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 4, 2016
Don’t get me wrong, I love Christopher Walken and I love the way they use him as King Louie in the new Jungle Book movie. And in many ways his interpretation of “I Want To Be Like You” is one of the highlights of the film, but really, the did the whole let’s get him to sing b read more
Day 24 of Noirvember: They Won’t Believe Me Trivia
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 24, 2015
They Won’t Believe Me, one of many fabulous noir features released in 1947, contains enough twists and turns to satisfy any noir fan; a would-be sympathetic protagonist who’s really a heel; and instead of a love triangle, a love QUADRANGLE. But that’s not the story I’m telling today. Today’s read more
