#SimoneSignoret, #HarryBelafonte, #YvesMontand and #MartinLutherKingJr at a benefit rally for Racial Integration to support the U.S. civil rights movement at the Palais des Sports in Paris, France, March 1966, to raise funds for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

The countdown begins . . . The shoot. The subject. The dress. #JoanCrawford. Gown by #Adrian. Photoshoot by #GeorgeHurrell. . . . LETTY LYNTON arrives on Blu-ray June 30th!

A good read via LIFE published last month, THE MAKING OF A MERMAID, 1948: www.life.com/arts-enterta... Pictured below, makeup artist Bud Westmore, creating the plastic mold of the mermaid tail for Ann Blyth in MR. PEABODY AND THE MERMAID (1948) and Ann Blyth in the custom-made ($18,000) tail.

Saddened to hear this . . . I was just telling a friend of mine that I really liked #AnnBlyth. She seemed like a pleasant person to be around . . . She sincerely felt ageless to me. A genuine spirit. 📷: Ann Blyth in Los Angeles c. 1940s Photographed by William Grimes

Random, but . . . Every time I rewatch OVER 21 (1945), I pause at this moment. I LOVE Irene Dunne's jumpsuit! It reminds me so much of the sequin Norman Norell dress Marilyn Monroe wore for the Richard Avedon shoot that I thought for YEARS was a jumpsuit until I finally saw the full layout.

This actress.

A long-lost landmark of independent Black cinema has been restored and is coming to theaters. Watch our exclusive trailer premiere for Robert L. Goodwin's sole directorial effort Black Chariot:

A filmmaker traveled 10,825 miles across America to capture 123 movie theaters and the workers and audiences keeping them alive. Watch our exclusive trailer premiere for The Last Picture Shows, which begins a nationwide theatrical tour in July.

It's been ten years . . . and I still feel this. "Would that it *twuuuh* so simple." I stand by this.

ICYMI: dominiquerevue.weebly.com/cinema-coffe... Watch my guest spot on HOLLYWOOD KITCHEN: #JosephineBaker The definition of a self-made woman whose independence and outspoken frankness made her then and now relatable to any of us who do not take a backseat to discrimination . . . Josephine Baker.

The 1960s beginning to coil and die, the design work cold class and unfeeling obsidians smeared like patterns in charcoal. One of the best femme fatales ever put to screen, and not least because she did absolutely nothing wrong.

Billy Wilder's birthday. In the 70s he & Iz Diamond made a short film of their work process. INT. OFFICE - DAY WILDER on the sofa, staring at ceiling. DIAMOND at the typewriter. Silence. WILDER Iz, what if the mother... Diamond stares through Wilder. WILDER No... Silence. THE END

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Truly had an INCREDIBLE time with Karie Bible for her HOLLYWOOD KITCHEN: #JosephineBaker episode! www.facebook.com/karie.bible/... (or shorturl.at/DUh26) This was undoubtedly one of THE most fun times I have had discussing one of my favorites . . . La Baker! Thanks to Karie for inviting me! ♡

SABRINA (1954) is the perfect example of a film that always reminds me why I love classic cinema and what I think of when I think of classic. Timeless. I extend my love letter to the film and its source material in my write-up, THE MOON’S REACHING FOR ME: dominiquerevue.weebly.com/cinema-coffe...

Billy Wilder is one screenwriter/director whose work, when it comes to mind, or when I see different clips from any of his films, I find myself suddenly in the mood to pop anyone of them in the player and start watching. A Billy Wilder film is one I'm always in the mood for.

Barbara Stanwyck, about director Billy Wilder's . . . DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944): “I never wanted to play the same things. Only once was I really worried in terms of image. I was scared because I’d never before played an out-and-out killer. I was scared, and so was Fred [MacMurray]. 1/3 A thread

"The plot means nothing to me. It's a general feeling, a moment in life, just moments of existence. Call it scenes from provincial life." —Jacques Demy

All I want is to live inside the colors of #JacquesDemy . . . I dream in Jacques Demy.

À l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance de Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve et le collectionneur Sébastien Cauchon lui rendent hommage avec l'ouvrage « Marilyn chérie » (Flammarion, 2026).

Not gonna lie, this is a badass museum donation. 🇺🇸 Shonda Rhimes donated the Oval Office set from Scandal, the same one fictional President Fitzgerald Grant called home for seven seasons. Now it’s part of the Obama Presidential Center Museum
