A Christmas Dream (1946)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 23, 2009
This short film manages to be cute and terrifying at the same time. Why isn't that little girl at least a little nervous when her discarded toy comes to life? read more
TV Tuesday: Alfred Hitchcock on The Dick Cavett Show
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 22, 2009
Alfred Hitchcock discusses on set love affairs with his typical dry humor in this 1972 clip from The Dick Cavett Show. I think it's funny how corny the Master of Suspense was. read more

Monday Serenade: Irene Dunne
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 21, 2009
It's a shame Irene Dunne didn't make more musicals. She had a lovely, warm way with a song. Here she debuts Smoke Gets in Your Eyes in Roberta (1935). Though Rogers and Astaire hijacked this musical by the closing scenes, you can see here that Dunne still makes her mark read more

The Forties Goldmine of Christmas Movies: Part II
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 21, 2009
For part two, I wanted to give a little extra attention to a handful of forties holiday movies that have captured my affection in recent years:
Remember the Night (1940)
It’s a shame this romance gets draggy in spots, because in its best moments, this is the perfect holiday movie. Barbara S read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: The Night Before Christmas (1933)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 19, 2009
The toys have a wild party in this early Disney 'toon. (Why is it that the older the cartoon is, the creepier the dolls look?) read more

Monday Serenade: Sterling Holloway
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 14, 2009
Sterling Holloway (AKA the voice of Winnie the Pooh) sings a charming rendition of A Perfect Day in this cozy scene from Remember the Night (1940). Beulah Bondi, Elizabeth Patterson and Fred MacMurray are all marvelous support in this scene, but it is Barbara Stanwyck's heartbreaking read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: The Robot (1932)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 12, 2009
I'm pretty sure this is the earliest instance of a robot I've seen in a cartoon. Is robot even the right term if Bimbo is inside the machine? Wouldn't it actually be a mechanical suit? Anyway, Bimbo's girlfriend looks a lot like Betty Boop, but she doesn't have many lines, and is solidly s read more
