You Devil, You

No man ever held more terrible power over women than this tall dark handsome stranger from nowhere!

Add to the "must see" list - Alias Nick Beal - featured on the Film Noir of the Week blog. Ray Milland as the devil - I can buy into that. There's video on over there too.

Plot 101 (from IMDB): A district attorney rises to political success and the governorship but loses his sense of morality once he starts associating with the shadowy and perhaps diabolical Nick Beal.

Great film for election day! Oh, wait...not on DVD!

Harold Lloyd: Rebel

I'm not much of a silent film or Harold Lloyd fan. In fact, Harold gives me the creeps. But after seeing this screen cap, I'm having second thoughts...


I can't take credit for this . . . go check out James Lilek's blog.

Photo Friday

Today I proclaim Harvey White day...for this 1933 photo of his.

Insert Scream Here

I just learned this morning that a local theater has been playing Dial M for Murder in 3D this week. Tonight's the last night & I have other plans. Argh!

Once upon a time, I saw Dial M at an old theater. You know, the type with the gold trim, balcony, mint green bathroom (and lounge), etc. The place is now a church. Support your local classic theater.

On the positive side, the theater is showing It's a Wonderful Life for one week in December. Time to practice on my Stewartesque George Bailey accent ("Mary...")..

Home Is Where The Heart Is

You know you've made it when they make postcards of your homes.
