Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Feb 9, 2014
Director Guy Hamilton's 1980 film, The Mirror Crack'd, is not the greatest screen adaptation of an Agatha Christie mystery; there are plenty of more likely contenders for that title, including Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Murder on the Orient Express (1974), and Death on the Nile (1978).

Classic Films in Focus: THE UNSUSPECTED (1947)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Feb 6, 2014
Michael Curtiz’s 1947 thriller, The Unsuspected, puts Claude Rains back into the kind of role he had already played with great success in films like Casablanca (1942) and Notorious (1946), so it’s no surprise that he’s equally compelling as Victor Grandison, the suave but manipulat read more

Classic Films in Focus: MARKED WOMAN (1937)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Feb 4, 2014
The world of the gangster movie is largely a boys' club, where women exist only as victims or commodities and the mobsters' guns serve as constant reminders of their phallic power.
