[...] Clayburgh as Carole Lombard. I wrote a bit about this interesting but failed movie a while back here on Movie Morlocks. Suffice it now to say that Jill gave it her all and for that matter so did Brolin, but the movie [...]

Hi Vincent!Thanks so much for the link to your excellent article on Gable & Lombard! I didn't see it when I originally wrote this blog or I certainly would have done a better job on my post! It's still amazing that studio execs would even have ventured to produce a movie about classic Hollywood stars. Kind of amazing it wasn't done for TV, really. Might have turned out better, as the TV Hollywood bios tended to at least have lesser expectations.Thanks again and I loved your article! - m

Now, now, don't be picking on Syracuse…I go there every year for Cinefest, which shows four days worth of movies I can't see anywhere else, not even on TCM!Even Leonard Maltin hangs out there, and he's seen more movies than almost anyone.

I love The Ipcress File, but no one else seems to have seen it. You need to get out of Syracuse, Liz... those people don't know what they're missing!And Medusa, speaking of a time when vintage Hollywood was a hot commodity, I can remember going to my local department store (which was a Barkers, I think) and buying 8x10 movie glossies... Bela Lugosi in Dracula, Gary Cooper in For Whom the Bell Tolls and Bogart in Casablanca... right there in a stack next to the tube socks and Tootsie Rolls.

I had no idea Sidney Furie directed something like that! I love The Ipcress File, but no one else seems to have seen it. I think it deserves at least as much notoriety as the Bond films. His direction is fantastic, Superman IV notwithstanding.–Play social movie trivia on Kwanzoo.com !
