Not all actors got their start early. Here are some articles on the successes that came with age and experience. Actors Who Got Big Breaks Later In Life, At An Older Age – Crushable (via). Hollywood loves youth. It feeds on it. We’re this close to sending older actresses out to sea on i read more
Growing Up With the Classics
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 25, 2014
What is it about these old movies that is so appealing? I suppose this question has as many answers as there are fans. We each have our own sense of enjoyment of the classics and it is indeed personal. See how much of what I write here resonates for you. I am a baby boomer, born in 1956. My exposur read more

Turning Off a Classic
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 9, 2014
I hate to admit it, but I turned off a classic last night. I had recorded “A Few Dollars More” on TCM and was looking forward to an evening of shoot ‘em up with Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Sergio Leone, and the now famous score by Ennio Morricone. How it is that I’ve neve read more
Colorized Films List
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 6, 2014
I found this list at Wikipedia. Each film title links to the entry about that movie. This is a controversial subject for classic film fans, and I thought this list might be helpful. I suspect that the only way to really decide for yourself if a particular movie has been vandalized by colorization i read more
Colorizing the Classics
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 3, 2014
Recently, I watched “From Here to Eternity” on TCM. I have not seen it for a long time and enjoyed the newness of it, especially such a well made movie as this. But something kept nagging at me as I watched. Here is the famous scene that sparked this post: It is of course a famous scene read more
2 Stars on TCM Means Nothing
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 19, 2013
Last night we watched “Desire Me” from 1947 with Greer Garson and Robert Mitchum. It’s a story about a small town woman dealing with the news that her husband has been killed in the second world war. A very timely theme in its day and I was aware that this would have been consider read more
Watching Classic Movies – an Experience
Classic Film Talk Posted by Classic Film Talk on Mar 14, 2013
Evenings at home are more precious and special to me as I get older. My wife and I discovered, or rather rediscovered classic movies last year and the experience of watching them quickly became an eagerly anticipated daily event for us. Many evenings are now spent in an almost ritualized way – read more
100 Movie Insults
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Mar 8, 2013
I’m not sure if we’re lowering our standards or raising the level of editing expertise with this one. I can only imagine the time it took to assemble all these clips. If your insult repertoire is not enhanced by this, nothing will, you sniveling, awkward, ugly………… read more
Fleming Slapped Dorothy??!!
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Mar 7, 2013
This is one of those stories that can take the shine off a beloved film like The Wizard of Oz. But things happen on movie sets because after all, we are talking about human beings. We are all fallible creatures with occasional lapses in judgement and behaviour. Judy Garland was a very young girl in read more
Buster Keaton Plus a Live Band!
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Mar 6, 2013
Seriously, this may be coming to the theatre near you. Mr. Keaton was astounding in his creative abilities and The General was one of his finest works. To have the chance to see it in a theatre with live music accompaniment is a real treat. Read the story here. read more
Dodsworth (1)
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 27, 2013
Once in a while I see a film that surprises me. Dodsworth, from 1936 is one of these. It is easily one of the best films I’ve seen, all the more so because of it’s era. Movies from the 30s tend to have that overacted sentimentality, with sing-song speaking patterns from the women and br read more
Blu-ray, Green Valley, and Jazz oh my!
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 20, 2013
Blu-ray has really made collecting and watching the classics a renewed pleasure. Because of the high resolution, the older films need some extra care to improve the quality. This is wonderful as it is providing us with sharp, crystal clear images even on films from the 20s. Here are 6 new entries i read more

40 years of Orange
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 19, 2013
There are some movies that stand out because they are unique on several levels. Such is the case with A Clockwork Orange from 1971. It is a violent, insightful, strange, brilliant, disturbing, fascinating social commentary with an absolutely unforgettable performance by Malcom McDowell. To call him read more
Fun With Baby Jane
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 17, 2013
If someone told me about Bette Davis singing on a variety show, I’d have said “naw, never happen”. As is often the case, I would be happily wrong. For anyone who has seen “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”, this clip is a fascinating juxtaposition. read more
The Champ – the tears were flowing
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 16, 2013
I watched this incredibly emotional story last night. Made in 1931, I was not expecting it to have such an impact. Let’s face it, the acting in those days was exaggerated, often wooden with those lilting tones in the voices. There was some of that, particularly coming from the lead actress, I read more
The Crop Dusting Sequence
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 15, 2013
North By Northwest is one of those films that stands out because of unforgettable sequences. Cary Grant being terrorized in the middle of nowhere by something as ordinary as a crop dusting plane is one of these. It, along with the famous ending on Mt. Rushmore makes elevates the film to the memorab read more
The Wilhelm Scream
Classic Film Talk Posted by Eric on Feb 14, 2013
I love to find stuff like this and am often searching through video sites that present such fun compilations. This one is a great eye (ear!) opener, showing how movies are often great examples of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! The Wilhelm Scream will become unforgettable read more
