Happy Birthday Tallulah Bankhead
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jan 31, 2010

Great Credits: The Young in Heart (1938)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jan 29, 2010
I love the charmingly stylish silohuettes in this opening credits sequence for the Janet Gaynor comedy The Young In Heart (1938). Not only are they lovely, but they establish the spirit of the movie wonderfully. (The movie itself is also pretty darn good.) read more

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jan 26, 2010
I found this little gem on YouTube. I have no idea where it came from, but it appears to be part of a television documentary. It's charming to hear Terry Melcher talk about his famous mother. I also love the stories of Day unknowingly causing a commotion as she cycled through the streets o read more

Monday Serenade: Alice Faye (1)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jan 25, 2010
Who on earth decided that Alice Faye's version of I'll See You in My Dreams didn't belong in the final cut of Rose of Washington Square?" (1939)? The song would have been a great fit for Faye's unlucky-in-love character. This is my favorite vocal version of the song, because she finds the read more

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jan 25, 2010
I was stunned to hear of the passing of Jean Simmons, because she’d been on my mind over the past week (I’d just seen her in Black Narcissus (1947) and The Actress (1953)). Over the past couple of days, I've been thinking about Simmons’ performance in the comedy The Grass read more
