Spooky Silents
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 29, 2009
This Halloween season, I thought I’d explore the dark side of silent movies in the hopes of finding some new favorites. I was most impressed by this trio of moody, stylish flicks. These aren’t your typical boogieman movies, but rather dramas with horrific elements and an atmosphere of su read more

TV Tuesday: Fred Astaire on What's My Line?
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 27, 2009
I can't get enough of these guest appearances from What's My Line? Here's a playful Fred Astaire in 1955. I love that shot of his long, graceful hand as he signs in on the chalkboard. He was so humble in all his personal appearances; it's almost as if he didn't realize what a huge star he read more

Monday Serenade: Hollywood Party!
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 26, 2009
Singer and Broadway performer Frances Williams makes a rare movie appearance, singing the catchy title song from Hollywood Party (1934). I love the stylish Art Deco sets, the lively pre-code sauciness of the chorus girls (is sauciness a word?), and the racy “getting ready” vign read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Minnie The Moocher (1932)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 24, 2009
I thought this spooky, stylish Betty Boop cartoon would be a perfect start to the week leading up to Halloween.

Today Ms. Joan Fontaine turns 92 years old. In celebration, here is a selection of her movies that, for good or ill, has always fascinated me:
Jane Eyre (1944)
I’ve always felt that Fontaine should have received more praise for her work in this gothic romance. It is miraculous that she was read more
