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

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 18, 2013
I picked up such a great bargain at my local Costco today that I just have to share. Our Huntsville store had BOTH of the Alice Faye DVD collections for $14.99 each!
I have had my eye on these for a while, but over at Amazon they are currently $33.93 for Volume I and a whopping $42.48 for Volume II read more

Classic Films in Focus: 101 DALMATIANS (1961)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 16, 2013
Walt Disney adapted 101 Dalmatians (1961) from the popular novel by English writer Dodie Smith, and by all accounts Smith was much happier with the experience than Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers. Smith might have been pleased because 101 Dalmatians is, in fact, a fairly faithful adaptation of the read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE BODY SNATCHER (1945)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 14, 2013
Adapted from a short story by Robert Louis Stevenson, The Body Snatcher (1945) is yet another example of producer Val Lewton’s genius for turning out elegant, literate horrors on a shoestring budget. This period tale of grave robbers in 19th-century Scotland benefits from the direction of Lewt read more

Yes, there are spiders involved!
Being a former English professor and lifelong cinephile, I not only love good stories but yearn to tell them myself. I have been tapping away at various fiction projects for years - in between academic writing and classic movie blogging - and this week I finally too read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 13, 2013
We think of Charlie Chaplin as a silent comedian, but he also made a number of talkies in his later career, the best known of which is The Great Dictator (1940), which offers a direct response to the global catastrophe then brewing on the European front. In this picture, made before the United State read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE (1921)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 10, 2013
Its title might suggest a horror story, but The Phantom Carriage (1921) really offers a supernatural morality tale in the same spirit as Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, including the idea of the year’s end as an opportunity to confront one’s own shortcomings and sins. This silent Swedi read more
