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).

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
