Here's something I've thought about for some time. I know it is apples to oranges in many ways, but could you explain what you like (and dislike) about "B" movies in the studio period? I like the way they were made with relatively small resources, yet often were chock full of entertainmen...

I just found the real James Dean photo that was used for the other half of the fake:

I'm not sure where the picture of James Dean came from, but he...

It contains not only a lot of information about Glenda Farrell herself, but also much...

The Lady Vanishes is my favorite Alfred Hitchcock movie, closely followed by The 39 Steps . It's one of his most entertaining, largely because it's less of a pure suspense movie than a combination of comedy, suspense, and a little adventure thrown in. For me, at least, the mixture makes it more enj...

I suppose in peacetime he wouldn't have been allowed in the Army. I'd read that quote but never seen the picture, he doesn't look too bad in his uniform apart from his shoes looking somewhat too big. His pants look a bit too big as well. Here's some more of what he said: "My pants were too lon...

The first one I posted is also part of a larger picture.

Sorry it took me so long, but haven't been at my computer all day.

It's from Le roi des Champs-Élysées (1934).

This sounds like something invented by someone who does not like hot dogs. I'm not sure what Bat Masterson thought of hot dogs in general, but the author of the book I found the recipe in (the book is a collection of historical recipes and the stories behind them) said: "It makes the usual cat...

Here's a hot dog recipe invented by Bat Masterson (yes, the real Bat Masterson) called the Prairie Dog. Take a hot dog, and slit it open lengthwise. Rub sage generously into the slit and the sides of the slit, then broil the hot dog until it's done. Take a bun, and put mustard and thinly-sliced dill...

Hitchcock , starring Anthony Hopkins, looks promising, judging from the trailer. Anthony Hopkins is a great actor and always has a strong presence. From what I've seen in the trailer, his performance (and it appears to be a true performance, not just an imitation) is impressive, portraying Hitchcoc...

Congratulations!
