Cats: Bogart| No Comments »

It is in color (Technicolor that is), it is big, it is fast and it is funny. The prints of this picture have been restored so it looks like it was made yesterday. Originally this picture was to be just a shot by shot remake of the Douglas Fairbanks version from 1919. However at […]

Killers

Cats: Thriller/Suspense| No Comments »

Great accidents happen once in a while that leave us saying thank God for accidents. The Killer’s starring Burt Lancaster plucked fresh from Broadway (in his motion picture debut) and Ava Gardner is just such a film.

This 1946 classic from Universal Pictures was almost made with different lead actors. The role of Kitty Collins […]

Cats: Drama| 1 Comment »

There are reasons why people became movie stars and every one of them has at least one performance to prove it. Ginger Rogers proved it alright in 1940 with her performance as the title role in Kitty Foyle. This is also a her Oscar performance and ( I believe ) her first non musical […]
