Apparently, there's a Broadway revival of Gypsy in the works with Audra McDonald as Madame Rose. Here's Mickey Jo Boucher discussing it in a video from his YouTube channel Mickey Jo Theatre. At the beginning he talks the history of the Athur Laurents/Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim musical and its vari...

Until I saw Skimpole's list, I had forgotten about Mountains of the Moon, one of my favorite films and the film that made me vow never to go to sleep in the African jungle without cotton in my ears!

My ten favorite films from 1990 include Metropolitan (on my all-time ten-best list); as well as two neglected adaptations of novels: Last Exit to Brooklyn and The Sheltering Sky, two films that remain sadly under the radar.

The movie is based on a stage play in which the lead characters were played by Gertrude Berg and Cedric Hardwicke. Berg won the Tony Award for Best...

He should never have won that Oscar. I hated The Goodbye Gir and his performance. He stole the Oscar from four more deserving men:
