I was watching Rafter Romance a few months ago, when I saw Fritzie, the cab driver with a supporting role in the movie, and my mouth dropped. There, on the screen, in front of my eyes, was GW, in 1933! It was almost the same man — the resemblance was uncanny. There it was: an incredibly [...]
» Go to this postIf you follow along with my classic movie reviews, you may think I have only good things to say about them. Truth is, I don’t usually choose to write up movies I don’t like. But I’ve recently seen three classic movies that were so bad I needed to point them out. I’ll look at each [...]

He was the first to give public testimony that the addictive properties of nicotine were well known, and manipulated, inside tobacco companies.
I saw it last night, and it was my [...]
Michael J. Fox appeared in some TV ads recently, to support stem cell research for Parkinson’s disease. The ads showed him moving uncontrollably, due to Parkinson’s. They were candid, and truthful. I’ve always liked Michael as an actor, and I thought he’s been a real gentleman throughout his ordeal with Parkinson’s. I agree with him, [...]
» Go to this post“Easter Parade” is a veritable showcase of talent: Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Irving Berlin, Ann Miller… need I say more?
There are many memorable scenes in this movie. One such scene is at the opening of the movie, where we see Fred, who plays Don Hewes, a famous dancer of his time, strolling through the streets [...]
Just saw “Rhapsody in Blue” (1945) tonight, and what a great movie! It’s a movie biography of George Gershwin. Some of the plot was fictional, but that’s okay. The talent in the movie more than made up for that. What’s amazing to me is that the people who knew him and were his friends while [...]
» Go to this postJust saw “One in a Million” (1936), and was amazed by the harmonica players. Found out they’re called Borrah Minevitch’s Rascals. The movie is worth watching just for them. They play in the party scene, when Adolphe Menjou, as Tad Spencer, throws a party for Greta Muller, played by Sonja Henie, before the Olympic Games.
