Kudos to Ms. Corby for calling a classic a classic before it became one. That's harder to do than it seems. To this day, it's a top-five, maybe a top-three film noir and film noir, in 1944, was only just starting to ramp up.- Fading Fast

Platinum Blonde from 1931 with Robert Williams, Jean Harlow, Loretta Young and Louise Closser Hale Platinum Blonde's story of a middle-class "nobody" marrying a socialite is an early version of a tale Hollywood told repeatedly in the 1930s because it contains one of Tinseltown's favorite...- Fading Fast

I know the woman who wants to adopt Annie means well, but even in 1944, adoption was no slapdash, red-tape free affair. Dollars to donuts that annoying woman is on the board that approves adoptions – her type always is.- Fading Fast

I don't think so, unless I did decades ago and forgot it. I didn't love du Maurier's "Jamaica Inn," so I've shied away from her novels ever since. Maybe I should give her another shot as I've enjoyed several of the movies that have been based on her books.- Fading Fast

Well done Frank, even if Ma won't give you much credit. Sure, it's not perfect - but you moved a lot of pieces to better places on the chess board. They should have kept the original birth certificate, though, to show Michael as, from what's been implied of his character, I bet he'd be glad to...- Fading Fast

I thought Frank was going to dig up dirt of Belasco (he has to already have plenty of it on Hops), but he decided to Captain Kirk it with a Kobayashi Maru-style reprograming of the computer, the old-fashioned state-operated paper-record computer. Good for Frank.- Fading Fast

Our Spoons Came From Woolworths by Barbara Comyns originally published in 1950 There is a genre, maybe it's a style, of novels where a person writes a very passionate story about their own early adulthood as a roman à clef. Every generation has its share of these books. In the 1980s, Jay...- Fading Fast

Frank seems confident and I doubt he would be if he didn't have a good plan as Ma or Alice (or both) will kill him if he messes up. My guess remains he gets something on them - dirt from their past - that shuts them down completely. Again I'm just guessing, but she didn't hightail it across the...- Fading Fast

I don't think I ever thought of this before until "Inky" messed up his name, but is Krause Jewish? Does Alice have a religion?
