Humphrey Bogart plays the quintessential Navy Captain who is losing his marbles. In one of the most tragic and sympathetic performances of a man breaking down sanity-wise on a witness stand, Mr. Bogart moved the studio crew to a thunderous round of applause when the scene was finished. The film took a year […]

I love this picture. It was a constant employee selection, on the screen at the store. You have double the Bette, how great is that? Nobody was better at playing evil, wicked, b - word, women that Bette Davis. Not only does she give a great performance as one of the meanest sisters ever played […]

A woman is found in a diner after collapsing, she has been wandering the streets searching […]

Petition

Cats: Uncategorized| 1 Comment »
