Classic Films in Focus: THE UNINVITED (1944)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 24, 2013
The Uninvited (1944) is an old-fashioned ghost story with deep roots in the Gothic tradition. Adapted from a 1941 novel by Dorothy Macardle, the story borrows major themes and motifs from Rebecca (1940), just as Daphne du Maurier’s novel had borrowed from Jane Eyre. In all three tales, romanc read more
Classic Films in Focus: TWO ON A GUILLOTINE (1965)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 22, 2013
Although it’s billed primarily as a horror film, Two on a Guillotine (1965) throws in about as much romance and comedy as haunted house horror, which makes for an uneven picture that sometimes loses sight of its purpose and plot. Slow at times, especially in the second act, Two on a Guillotine read more

Audie Murphy's Grave at Arlington National Cemetery
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 14, 2013
Our family's fall break trip to DC didn't work out, thanks to the government shutdown, but I did manage to visit Arlington National Cemetery before we defected to Colonial Williamsburg for the rest of the week. Here's a photo of the headstone that marks the resting place of World War II hero and cla read more

Laird Cregar is by no means a household name today, but in the
early 1940s the up-and-coming 20th Century Fox star stood perched on the edge

Classic Films in Focus: HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE (1939)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Oct 1, 2013
Fox’s Technicolor Tinseltown retrospective is by no means one of the most significant pictures to come out in 1939, but Hollywood Cavalcade has its charms as a sentimental tribute to the silent film era. Like the later - and much better - MGM musical, Singin’ in the Rain (1952), this sto read more

Classic Films in Focus: HANGOVER SQUARE (1945)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 24, 2013
Laird Cregar’s final film is the only one in which he received top billing, but Hangover Square (1945) shows just how much talent was lost with the star’s premature death in 1944, two months before the picture was released. Like the earlier Fox horror thriller, The Lodger (1944), Hangove read more
