GREASE 2 was a horrible disappointment!

Back in the 60s when kids were doing the Watusi and other popular dances of the day, parents and grandparents were scandalized and thought it signified the downfall of society. But here's what those parents and grandparents were doing in the 20s. And I love it. 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMfa...

Film noir ahead of its time - By exploring the space between comfortable myth and troubled truth so close to the end of WWII, ACT OF VIOLENCE (1948) reveals the guilt, trauma, and the burden of survival hiding beneath the heroic wartime medals. boxd.it/aXhW4Z #NoirvemberChallenge #filmnoir

I love that the film gets off to such a brisk, bold start, with the culmination of a con job for which the criminals suffer no consequences. #FilmNoirClub #Larceny

“If that’s your kid sister, I’m a boa constrictor with high heels” is going to be my Day 8 #NoirvemberChallenge: Favorite Line in a #FilmNoir. I call dibs. 😅😅 #FilmNoirClub #Larceny

This whole “why we fought” speech – given that the losses and horrors of WWII were still fresh in everyone’s mind, and that this is a complete con – is very daring for its time. That dark underbelly is, of course, straight out of the novel, but it definitely deepens the film. #FilmNoirClub #Larceny

So I just published my first book. Well, an e-book. My essay about film director William Dieterle – one of the directors who revolutionized #OldHollywood – was so kindly received, I expanded it into a full book. If you love classic film, I hope you’ll take a look. 😊🎥 www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK127P37/

Joan Caulfield once said, “I guess I'm just not the femme fatale type. I giggle too much. I have freckles and a turned-up nose and I walk like an athlete.” George Abbott told her she looked better on a tennis court than in a bedroom. But she’s perfect in something like this. #FilmNoirClub #Larceny
