Silver Scenes - A Blog for Classic Film Lovers Posted by The Metzinger Sisters on May 11, 2015
Yes, they certainly knew what they wanted, and if you can't tell what they wanted from this picture then you'll just have to see They Knew What They Wanted ( 1940 ) to find out what they wanted, for we certainly don't know what they wanted.

They laughed when she sat down to play? Maybe not
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 5, 2015
I have no idea whether Carole Lombard could play the piano, but if she knew how, it wouldn't surprise me. Chances are that in her Fort Wayne childhood home, and perhaps a few of her Los Angeles residences, a piano was somewhere in the parlor. After all, in the days before radio and television, the p read more

Bookshop Sex: Did they do it?!
Something's been bugging me ever since I watched THE BIG SLEEP (1946) for the first time a couple years ago ...
Okay, you know when Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) ducks inside the Acme Bookshop located across the street from Geiger's more 'upmarket' shop to read more

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 2, 2014
They Won’t Believe Me features enough twists and turns to satisfy any noir fan, a would-be sympathetic protagonist who’s really a heel, and standout performances from a trio of dames – Susan Hayward, Rita Johnson, and Jane Greer.

Big Changes at Turner Broadcasting – Will They Affect TCM?
Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Aug 27, 2014

And they said it couldn't be done (but apparently has!)
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 10, 2014
Carole Lombard poses near a window in the Iris Circle home in Los Angeles she shared with first husband William Powell in the early 1930s. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Lombard lived in Los Angeles long before she stepped into the film industry (though when six-year-old Jane Alice Peters joined read more
Films 'They Knew What They Wanted,' but can't get on DVD
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jun 21, 2014
It's no secret that Carole Lombard's 1940 drama "They Knew What They Wanted," teaming her with Charles Laughton for the second time, has never been made available on an authorized DVD in America, probably a result of rights issues with the Sidney Howard estate (Howard wrote the play, which won a Pul read more

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on May 21, 2014
By Fritzi Kramer on May 21, 2014 in Blog, GIF, Humor Disclaimer: Yes, I am aware that the “always get their man” slogan is more Hollywood than reality but I beg the indulgence of my Canadian readers in this instance. Upstream is one of the lost movies that was recovered during a 2010 ex read more

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 18, 2014
Of course, it’s only a teaser, but if this trailer is any indication, it looks like this translation of the classic Peanuts characters to the big screen may actually work.
