We’re going back a few years to examine a film from Hitchcock’s 1940s output. A year after winning the Academy Award for Rebecca, Hitchcock reteamed with star Joan Fontaine for another one-word titled mystery, Suspicion. This classy thriller pairs Hitchcock for the first time with the sm read more

Following the painstakingly tense Shadow of a Doubt (1943) with The Man Who Knew Too Much was always a gamble, especially since things worked together so perfectly in the last film. But the stew Hitchcock crafts for The Man Who Knew Too Much, a remake of his own 1934 drama, ends up being just that read more

Happy 4th of July and welcome to week one of the July Four (formerly five). For the next four weeks I’ll cover four performers and honor four of their films. Though the temperature on the thermometer may be high that’s no reason we can’t be a a little dark, so this week we’re read more

Hey there, ladies and gents! It’s time to look at what’s on tap for this month at Journeys in Classic Film. July is always a busy month and I’ll be revealing some changes to the July Five (including this year’s honorees), giving some details on next month’s Summer Under read more

As if July isn’t crazy enough for myself, there’s a whole world of fantastic content on TCM this month. The calm before Summer Under the Stars sees TCM celebrating both America in the 1970s and Olivia de Havilland’s centennial. Here are ten films I’ll be sitting down for this read more

“Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination!” In 1964 author Roald Dahl wrote a morality tale about a group of children who visit a chocolate factory and 45 years later the film version, released in 1971, remains an iconic piece of most people’s childhoods. Fat read more

One of the joys of watching TCM – outside of the content they provide – are the interviews with classic film stars inserted via their “Word of Mouth” segment or their Private Screenings series. With so many stars of the Golden Age visiting the big studio in the sky, these gli read more

Our farewell to the month of all things Miranda sees a few other exits as well. After starting out with The Gang’s All Here (1943) which had lost its prime star, Don Ameche, we conclude with our first Ameche pairing with Alice Faye…which was also their last film together. Are you confuse read more

Doctor Zhivago is a movie whose reputation precedes it. Doctor Zhivago marks my first foray into David Lean territory – a director I’ve avoided because his movies require getting comfy for over two hours. With that, Zhivago lives up to the definition of the word “epic” and read more

“The lost film,” a phrase that inspires articles and videos, as well as intriguing people bold enough to go out on a literal treasure hunt for fans in the hopes of finding something once originally deemed gone for good. Film accompanist and Undercrank founder Ben Model may not consider h read more

In just two years Carmen Miranda became a mainstay at 20th Century-Fox, mainly working in programmers, the cinematic equivalent of a paint-by-numbers coloring book. Her appearances extended to having a different name but playing Carmen Miranda nonetheless, usually accompanied by a joke describing he read more

Crippled by television and desperate to get butts back into seats, 1953 was the year of 3D movies. For that entire year, nearly every big-budget production tried their hand at throwing things in the audiences’ face in the hopes of enticing them to buy a ticket. (Outside of 3D, the 1950s also read more

At the end of May TCM announced Tiffany Vazquez as their new on-air correspondent, covering films on Saturday afternoons (with the unspoken implication of expanding her further). From TCM’s first “Ultimate Fan” to regular host, Vazquez’s rise to prominence is a fairy tale any read more

The final Fridays With recipient until fall is the “lady in the tutti frutti hat,” Carmen Miranda! The Portuguese chanteuse best remembered for her fruit-inspired headgear popped up in several 20th-Century Fox musicals, usually paired with Alice Faye. We start with her fifth outing for F read more

Hello ladies and gents! As you’ve probably noticed by the amount of late content going up, it’s been a crazy time for me, personally. Between my regular job as well as an uptick in freelance opportunities, I’m writing up a storm daily. Thank you to everyone for bearing with me as I read more

The temperature’s rising and there’s no better time to sit down and cool off with TCM. I tried mixing things up a bit with a host of different genres and films, all of which I’m eager to check out for the first time. What’s on your TCM Top Ten for June? **Times are listed as read more

Celebrity biographies fall into two camps: the cash grab and the record straightener. The latter sees a celebrity take the time to truly present themselves, while the former is written in the vain hope of nabbing a few bucks and some headlines. Suffice it to say you can usually tell the two apart. T read more
