I adore Cleo Moore, so it was great fun to read this poar about her role in The Other Woman (1954) and her long working relationship with director Hugo Hass. Mark doesn't think as highly of Moore as I do, but I think he's fair in his assessment of her--Where Danger Lives

Deanna Durbin Sings Silent Night (2)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 24, 2013
Time for my favorite yearly tradition: listening to Deanna Durbin sing Silent Night on Christmas Eve. This peaceful moment is from the otherwise fast-paced musical/comedy/film noir Lady on a Train (1945). I can't believe I am sharing this clip for the fifth year in row.
This time it is p read more

Sheesh, what a week for classic film fans. Audrey Totter, Peter O'Toole, Joan Fontaine and Tom Laughlin, all gone. Though they lived long, fulfilling lives, I think these particular stars had the reputation of seeming more sturdy than your typical mortal. With Fontaine in particular, fans seemed sho read more

Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 15, 2013
Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent. I'm very sensitive to ugly situations. I'm quick to read people, and I pick up if someone's reacting to me as just a sexy blonde. At tim read more

It's The Holiday Screenshot Quiz!
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 14, 2013
Several years ago, I used to follow a blog that posted a new movie screenshot quiz every Sunday morning. I thought it was so much fun that I'd barely slow down to make coffee before checking out the new pics each week. Since I'm always grabbing screenshots of my favorite scenes anyway, I thought I'd read more

RIP Eleanor Parker, one of the most magnetic and versatile actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood. She is one of my favorites. I especially loved her in Caged (1950) and Scaramouche (1952), two very different roles. There were lots of beautiful tributes around the Web this week; all people who kne read more

Majestic Hollywood: The Greatest Films of 1939
Mark A. Vieira
Running Press, 2013
Though many will champion other years, I agree with the common belief that 1939 was Hollywood's most remarkable 365 days. Art, commerce, society and luck combined to give an unprecedented boost to the product of an in read more
