In Love with Nick Charles
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jun 10, 2018
When asked to pick a swoon-worthy character for the Reel Infatuation blogathon, I assumed Nick Charles would already be taken. But this year, my fellow bloggers, you were too slow on the uptake. He’s all mine. How do I love thee, Nick? Let me count the ways. You are…. Sigh. Who could be read more

Dancing Lady: A Film that Subsists on Chemistry Alone
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on May 27, 2018
Let’s consider the reasons Joan Crawford is a terrible choice to star in Dancing Lady (1933), one of those films about an aspiring hoofer, Janie, who is willing to do anything but trade sexual favors to get on the stage, and who is so talented she actually makes it. 1. So talented at dancing? read more

Advice to a Fritz Lang Heroine, after Too Much Crime TV
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Apr 13, 2018
Oh honey. The reporters are telling you the police are closing in. Every black and white outfit has you jumping. You’re burning your dress in an incinerator in the backyard. Let’s refresh why. The date is 1953. You, our heroine of The Blue Gardenia, are played by Anne Baxter. The actress read more

Happy Accidents: an Underrated Rom-Com
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 11, 2018
Few rom-coms actually manage to be both romantic AND funny. For some movies, the romance wins, but the laughs are tepid; for others, you’re laughing so hard, but not feeling any chemistry. Happy Accidents (2000) is that rare film that manages both, maybe because, like most great romances, it’s not read more

Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Feb 25, 2018
It’s that time again, time to get irritable with the Academy and argue with their choices. This year I thought they did pretty well. Though I haven’t seen Dunkirk yet, I’m glad they’re finally giving Christopher Nolan credit; his ability to capture a place (real as well as fi read more

Girl 27: The Rape Case MGM Covered Up–and the Woman Who Fought Back
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jan 17, 2018
It’s hard to watch Girl 27 (2007). I first heard Patricia Douglas’s story on You Must Remember This podcast, then read the famous Vanity Fair article about it. That a movie extra was raped by an MGM salesperson, that the studio besmirched her reputation and hushed up the story–non read more
