Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 6, 2015
Everyone has a friend, you know, “that” friend who brings certain movies or music into your life that you wouldn’t have found otherwise. So it was with Rocky Horror Picture Show, that a “jump to the left” opened up a wild phantasmagoria I wouldn’t begin to deconst read more
The Cinematic Misadventures of Ed Wood
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 5, 2015
After finally watching Tim Burton’s kooky biopic of schlock director Edward D. Wood, Jr. I went in search of other works to learn more about the “worst director of all time.” How convenient then that BearManorMedia recently put out Andrew J. Rausch’s The Cinematic Misadventur read more
The Canterville Ghost (1944)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 4, 2015
Originally published August 13th, 2013 Pint-sized actress Margaret O’Brien’s movies aren’t always winners (Tenth Avenue Angel), but her exuberance and maturity, all while remaining innocent and precious, elevates the work everytime. The Canterville Ghost was a film I’ve been read more
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 3, 2015
Originally published October 21st, 2012 House on Haunted Hill is the go-to haunted house film second to The Haunting (1963). Where the latter film aims for a psychological approach this is all about the bumps in the night and the scares inherent in the house itself. There’s nothing in anyone& read more
13 Ghosts (1960)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Oct 2, 2015
Originally published October 20th, 2012 One of the lesser William Castle films, 13 Ghosts doesn’t have the clout or acclaim as something like House on Haunted Hill (1959). Regardless, there’s something fun about 13 Ghosts (and before you ask, no I haven’t seen the remake but I̵ read more

The Top 21 Must-See Dance Sequences in Classic Film
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 29, 2015
After the success of my Top 20 Most Seductive Scenes in Film I decided to give the top twenty (plus one!) another try. I’m a big fan of musicals, more specifically musicals with dance. Maybe because I couldn’t be a choreographer in life, I’ve taken to appreciating it in film. In pu read more
I Blame Dennis Hopper
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 28, 2015
Actress, director, and friend of TCM Illeana Douglas describes herself – and has been described by others – as one both inside and outside of the movies. It’s a privileged position, to be sure, being both the granddaughter of one of the golden era’s stars (Melvyn Douglas), an read more

You aren’t seeing things; the month of October was so awesome I refused to par the list down to ten, and they’re not all horror films! This month’s slate includes some comedy, a celebration of women in film, more Esther Williams, a little Disney, and, yes, something to watch on Hal read more
The Best of Everything (1959)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 25, 2015
The rise of suburbia brought with it an influx of novels, specifically lurid tales of gossip and romance that housewives could read in their spare time. And Hollywood responded to this with glossy Technicolor melodramas that became, somewhat derogatorily known as, “women’s pictures.̶ read more
Love Letters (1945)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 23, 2015
Director William Dieterle knew his way around a sentimental romance, preferably starring Joseph Cotten and Jennifer Jones. My prior experience with the two was in their second pairing, 1948’s Portrait of Jennie, a film which shares several commonalities with their first team-up. Much like Port read more

Dimensions Behind The Twilight Zone
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 21, 2015
Outside of Bewitched, I don’t often reviews books aimed at classic television shows. Nothing against them, I just figure I should stick to the site’s title of being about classic film. But, since I’ve made concessions for the other ones, and because I’m the editor of the site read more

How to Murder Your Wife (1965)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 18, 2015
1960s comedies are known for their rather frank discussions of romance and women. As the 1950s housewife persona slowly eroded and Women’s Lib inched along the horizon, the movies of the 1960s showed the joys and perils of the single and married man, and the burden that women could provide. Ho read more

The Garner Files
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Sep 14, 2015
To many he’s either Bret Maverick or Jim Rockford but James Garner was much more. Garner lived a colorful and steadfast life, exemplified by old-fashioned ideals to become the picture of masculinity to many generations. I became a fan of Garner’s through his work with Julie Andrews, read more
