Re: SPOILERS!

At the end of SISTER KENNY, do we actually see her on a ship sailing to America? I have never seen that movie so I don't know. (It's not the movie I had in mind.) About 15 minutes before the end of the film, we see the ship on the high seas, followed by her disembarking in America. (One of Rosalind...

Re: Theater

Old Friends, Cameron Mackintosh's love letter to Stephen Sondheim, will be coming to America. It began life as a one-off event in London with an all-star cast, to benefit the Stephen Sondheim Foundation. It was later mounted with a mostly different cast for a run in the West End, which is where I s...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

Troy Donahue makes movies go wrong in a fun way. You mean like casting him as the Next Great American Novelist in Susan Slade and as the Next Great American Painter in Rome Adventure ? I do like Troy Donahue as Johnny in A SUMMER PLACE opposite Sandra Dee's Molly. MOLLY We've gotta be good Johnny. ...

Re: Frank Borzage season of restored films at MOMA

Here's the schedule for the Frank Borzage films at MOMA. Of course it's nice that TCM is showing a few of his films, but there's no substitution for seeing them on the big screen (if you're in the neighbourhood). Man's Castle: April 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 Bad Girl: April 18, 22 Moonrise: Ap...

Re: I Just Watched...

I see you and I hear you. Shelley Winters achieved a lot in her life, and throughout it she had to endure a lot of really tacky and obnoxious jokes about her appearance that were completely uncalled for. In fact, I’ll even say that when she first hit the scene in the late 40s and 50s, she was espec...

Do any of our posters who attend plays performed in London's West End have tickets for Jamie Lloyd's production of ROMEO AND JULIET that will begin its limited engagement at the Duke of York Theatre next month? The production stars Tom Holland as Romeo. It appears that one of the cast members has b...
