TV Tuesday: Shelley Winters With a Friendly Tax Reminder
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 27, 2010
This tax PSA with Shelley Winters has one of the most bizarre sudden close-ups I've ever seen. I had to watch it a couple times just to get over that "what the heck?" feeling (I didn't totally get over it either). Too bad I didn't find this a few weeks ago, during tax time here in the US! read more

Monday Serenade: Bea Arthur and Rock Hudson Sniff, Swig and Puff
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 26, 2010
It has been a year since Bea Arthur left us. Let's remember the great lady with a song about drugs and alcohol! Arthur may not have been a big movie star, but she had her moments (she's the only thing in Mame (1974) that I found remotely entertaining). Rock Hudson adds Holly read more

TV Tuesday: Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire for Western Airlines
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 20, 2010
How have I never heard of this commercial? What a find! Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire are charming in this 1985 ad for Western Airlines, though it is a shame they don't dance. I love how Astaire always wore those fancy scarves around his neck; he had such a relaxed, but sophisticated style. read more

Monday Serenade: Pre-code Chorus Girls
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 19, 2010
I love this rendition of Who's Your Little Who-Zis? from the pre-code drama, Night World (1932). The chorus girls carelessly prance through their routine as if they are working on an assembly line. They know they're not on Broadway, and they're not going to work any harder than their pay g read more
