Happy Birthday James Cagney
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 17, 2009
James Cagney is my favorite actor, so I couldn't let his birthday pass without paying a brief tribute. I love this clip, because it showcases so many of his most endearing quirks: the goofy voices, his buoyant energy and the tiny flourishes he added to every scene. He was a mesmerizing talen read more

The Explosive Barbara Stanwyck
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 16, 2009
I feel inspired to pay tribute to Barbara Stanwyck today, on what would have been her 102nd birthday. She’s one of my favorite actresses, partly because while her efficient, regular Jane persona made you want to refer to her as “Babs” or “Stanny”, she was also was such read more
Gene Kelly and Liza Minnelli
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 15, 2009
I love this charmingly corny clip of Liza Minnelli and Gene Kelly chatting on Kelly’s 1978 special Gene Kelly: An American in Pasadena. They reminisce about the start of their friendship on the MGM lot, where Kelly was a star and Minnelli was a young girl visiting her mother and father read more

Monday Serenade: Big Band Doris Day
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 13, 2009
Here a very young Doris Day sings Lost Horizon with Les Brown and the Band of Renown in 1946. On first impression, she may be almost unrecognizable, more obviously because of her hair, but also because her early performance style is much more sensual than the wholesomely perky verve she favo read more
Three with Susan Hayward
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 13, 2009
If you liked the four Susan Hayward movies they played on TCM today, I've got a few more favorites to suggest:I Want to Live! (1958)Hayward's Oscar-nominated performance as party girl Barbara Graham is wild, loose and full of lusty energy. In a showy role like this, she could have careened into camp read more

Monday Serenade: Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 6, 2009
In this elaborate opening number from Rouben Mamoulian's Love Me Tonight (1932), tailor Maurice Chevalier sings Isn't It Romantic as a chauvinistic little ditty about his lover catering to his every need. His customer takes up the tune as he leaves the shop and it is then passed from person read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Pencil Mania (1932)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jul 4, 2009
This is a Tom and Jerry cartoon, but not the Hanna Barbera cat and mouse version. This oddball human duo appeared in a series of cartoons produced by the Van Beuren studio in the early thirties. While their cartoons never found widespread popularity, they have a lot to recommend them, not the least read more
