The Era -- Day By Day
("Whaaaat's this, then?" gapes Ma, as Uncle Frank thumps a large newspaper-wrapped bundle tied with greasy twine on her kitchen table. "Thaaat, Nora me dear," replies Uncle Frank, his ruddy features creased in a broad smile, "is tamarra's dinnar. Thaaat, Nora me dear, is a goose." "A goose!"...- Fading Fast

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Something for the Birds from 1952 with Patricia Neal, Edmund Gwenn and Victor Mature Lighthearted romcoms require just the right touch. If they are too sentimental, they can easily become a treacly mess, but if they take on too hard an edge, they can lose their charm and geniality. Something...- Fading Fast

Nice review. If you are so inclined, it would be great to see a picture of your new suit when you get it. Either way, enjoy it and wear it in good health.- Fading Fast

You might have seen my recent comments on "Experiment in Terror," which is mainly crime drama not noir, but it might fit the bill for you. Also, have you ever seen the movie "Wall of Noise" (comments here: #29,098 ) as it might scratch your thoroughbred itch. Finally, if you want to...- Fading Fast

I'd have to go back and check, but I think H&H or one of the Chinese restaurants have won every year. H&H's "mass production" model does give it a pricing advantage. The "Grin and Bear It' husband got in a good shot today.- Fading Fast

The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro published in 2013 Sometimes you need a book to read while you're deciding what you are going to read next. These interregnum books should be mindless, entertaining fluff that do not distract you from the serious work of choosing your next real book to...- Fading Fast

I almost hesitate to wander into a Gatsby conversation as they can get quite passionate here, but of the three versions you note, the '74 one is the only take I look forward to seeing as, despite its flaws, it is the only one that feels like the book to me. Nick centers the book and Waterston...- Fading Fast

Experiment in Terror from 1962 with Lee Remick, Glenn Ford, Ross Martin and Stephanie Powers There is a great ninety-minute movie hiding inside of Experiment in Terror's two-hour runtime as the picture lets too many scenes go on for two long. Edited down, though, it would have been a nonstop...- Fading Fast

It seems that is a pretty candid shot of Ms. Hayworth as her hair is usually all Hollywood sleek not wildly curly as it is here. And Kudos to the Daily News, you know it wasn't going to miss an opportunity to show some thigh at a time when that was still a bit risqué.- Fading Fast

The Ipcress File from 1965 with Michael Caine, Guy Doleman and Nigel Green If you've ever complained that the James Bond movies are too fake, then The Ipcress File is the movie for you. Michael Caine plays a smart mid-level spy, stuck inside a frustrating intelligence bureaucracy, who, like a...- Fading Fast

I remember that Alice had told a pretty fantastic tale about her war years in the bio you and I read, so I went to my comment on it and here's what I wrote: Alice then spent her war years doing some sponsorships, some radio announcing and a lot of selfless fund raising for the war effort. She...- Fading Fast

I Cover the Waterfront from 1933 with Ben Lyon, Claudette Colbert, Ernest Torrence and Hobart Cavanaugh The storytelling is a bit choppy in I Cover the Waterfront, but with only seventy-two minutes of runtime, it's not shy in its scope nor in its willingness to show the seedy elements of the...- Fading Fast

Could not agree more about Greer or "Out of the Past -" both deserve the applause they receive. I agree, too, Re political correct Hollywood. I think it's great that women outsmart men in some movies as that happens in real life, but so does the reverse, at least in real life. It is silly...- Fading Fast
