appear in other kinds of films throughout his acting career. Shot on location
and released the same year as the iconic Singin’
in the Rain, read more
Classic Films in Focus: THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 21, 2012
Critics often deride The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) as one of the worst Best Picture
winners in Oscar history, but Cecil B. DeMille’s elaborate circus spectacle
deserves a better reputation among classic movie fans. Yes, High Noon is the better film, but the
blame for choosing the safer pic read more

Classic Films in Focus: LIFEBOAT (1944)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 20, 2012
Based
on a story by John Steinbeck, Alfred Hitchcock's tense wartime thriller, Lifeboat (1944), will induce
claustrophobia in some viewers, as the entire film takes place within the
confines of a single small boat. The ocean around might be wide, but the space
on the boat is small, so small that the read more

Classic Films in Focus: THE BLACK SWAN (1942)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Sep 19, 2012
Of
