Crushing on The Cutting Edge’s Doug
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jun 25, 2017
There’s a certain generation of women who still laugh when they hear “toe pick.” Then they begin dreaming about a certain swoon-worthy character in the memorable scene when that line was first employed, and wonder why aren’t romantic leads like that now? Why can’ read more

Why I Was Happy to See So Many Teen Boys at Wonder Woman
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jun 12, 2017
When I was a kid, boys fantasized about Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, half-naked and chained to Jabba the Hutt. While I might flinch at the fact that the slave scene was the peak of adolescent fantasy, I was always happy that my male peers were lusting after a woman who was tough, a warrior, a he read more

What’s in a Name?: Together Again (1944)
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on May 17, 2017
I have a sophisticated theory about why the Irene Dunne vehicle Together Again (1944) is never on any best-of, favorites, or romantic comedy lists despite the many joys of viewing it: the title sucks. And when I say it sucks, I mean it’s the WORST TITLE I CAN IMAGINE. It’s so forgettabl read more

Stella Dallas’s Everyday Villain: The Husband
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Apr 29, 2017
When most people think of villains, they’re envisioning cloven hoofs and murderous intents. Stephen Dallas (John Boles), the husband of self-sacrificial mother, Stella Dallas (1937), would be unlikely to appear on any list of classic villains. Some might even consider him a nice guy—if they weren’t read more

“When I’m Bad, I’m Better”: the Infinitely Quotable Mae West
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Apr 9, 2017
When the Flapper Dame announced the 2nd annual Classic Quotes Blogathon, naturally I thought of Mae West, she of the long list of enduring one-liners from film. It’s difficult to pick the most iconic of West’s lines, so I won’t try. But certainly, one of the most beloved is this: read more

Jack Lemmon & Restraint
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 31, 2017
Of course I’ve been dying to see The Fortune Cookie (1966). Who wouldn’t want to view the first pairing of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the two whose seamless chemistry led to almost 30 years of hilarious cinematic repartee? Matthau won his only (!) Oscar for the role of Willie Gingr read more

Airplane!: The Joy of Recognizing Classic Movie References
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 11, 2017
**Spoilers about George Gipp ahead** The other day I was watching Airplane! with some friends. For the first time, I caught that the film includes a hilarious spoof of Knute Rockne’s “Win One for the Gipper” speech, that speech leaders of underdogs everywhere like to imitate. Popu read more

Sexy Con Man: John Garfield
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Mar 5, 2017
Even my classic-movie-hating sister, who is seldom willing to admit ANYTHING positive about my beloved black and whites, had to admit, there’s just something about John Garfield. Some sensuality, magnetism that escalates him far beyond his seemingly average looks. I mean, if the guy were stan read more
