A Michigan theater is looking for this Glenn Tryon Universal comedy since it was the openning night feature in 1927. Anyone here know? (I'll bet they do!) Yes, it does. Unfortunately, I only have an 8mm print of it, but there were original Show-at-Homes and dupes thereof. I'll see if I can dig one ...

Hey, now here we go. Ed Lorusso continues to be Ed LaAsshole as he now has declared Fred Astaire's pipes to be painful to his ears (Gene Kelly's as well): "As much as I love the Rogers & Astaire musicals, I never thought Astaire was believable for a moment as the apple of Ginger's eye. He w...

No, it wasn't the spirit of Christmas, it has just been that it's so damn deadly dull over there at Nitratevile that I haven't really looked that hard at anything to make fun of.

Richard, I thought you might enjoy this if you haven't stumbled across it before. Two of your favorite actors, Mr. O' Toole and Mr. Welles together on BBC's Monitor in 1963 discussing Hamlet with the host and a academician. The two actors are in perfect sync with each other, agreeing on every point...

I think we should be amazed he lived as long as he did considering the life he led. Most of his drinking buddies left us in their fifties. And although he appeared in a lot of turkey's, he himself was never the embarrassment of the project. And that's saying something -- Remember, he was in the cas...

After riding high with DIPLOMANIACS and HIPS, HIPS, HOORAY! , their comedy really turned south following THE NITWITS . It's almost as if RKO had lost interest in them due to that flash-in-the-pan dance team on the lot. That was part of it, but the code was what killed Bert and Bob, and frankly, giv...
