Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 8, 2014
I'm always thrilled when a new edition of Forbidden Hollywood is released. The sets of pre-code treasures never disappoint.

Quote of the Week
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 7, 2014

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 2, 2014
A Tree is a Tree
King Vidor
Longmans, Green and Co., UK, 1954 (Originally published in the US, 1952)
I've never been able to understand why King Vidor remains an admired, but still strangely unsung director. His films are legendary: The Big Parade (1925), The Crowd (1928), Hallelujah (1929), The C read more

New From Warner Archive: John Gilbert in The Cossacks (1928)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Nov 29, 2014
The Cossacks is the perfect introduction to the swashbuckling, romantic persona of John Gilbert. While the actor proved himself to be capable of playing more than the romantic hero, this is how audiences expected to see him: chasing a girl around a wagon, holding her in a passionate embrace and raci read more
