I watched The Adventurers (1969) a couple of nights ago, and I thought it was horrible, if a bit entertainingly bad. Then I found out yesterday that the star of the movie, the ethnic Albanian Bekim Fehmiu, reportedly committed suicide in his Belgrade apartment one week ago. He was 74 years old. I le read more

TV Tuesday: Jane Russell for Lustre-Creme
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 22, 2010
As Jane Russell turned 89 yesterday, I thought I'd share this Lustre-Creme ad she filmed in 1954. The ad also promotes her appearance in The Big Rainbow, but there must have been a name change, because when I looked up the title on IMDB, I was directed to Underwater! (1955). It doesn't loo read more

Monday Serenade: Jane Powell in The Girl Most Likely (1958)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 21, 2010
I adore Jane Powell. Everything about her twinkles, from her trilling voice to her friendly eyes (though they did often have a slightly melancholy look to them). Here she sings I Don't Know What I Want in the 1958 musical The Girl Most Likely. read more

TV Tuesday: Gloria Swanson in 1978
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 15, 2010
Gloria Swanson chats with Michael Parkinson in this 1978 episode of his legendary interview show in Great Britain.
I love the glitzy, dramatic way Swanson dressed in her later years. She never stopped looking like a silent movie star, and for some reason, her style works for me--rather t read more

Monday Serenade: Eddie Cantor in Whoopee! (1930)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 14, 2010
I was so accustomed to the Nina Simone version of My Baby Just Cares for Me, that it stunned me when I first saw Eddie Cantor singing the tune in Whoopee! (1930). Cantor's performance has a lot of zing, and it's so charming. I definitely have room for both versions in my affections. read more
