Olivia de Havilland is Wanted Dead or Alive
And depicting her giving gossipy interviews to the press isn't something that will damage her career. As for the comments about her sister, that stuff is common knowledge. She can't pretend it didn't exist. Not a chance on this lawsuit [/color] From the Hollywood Reporter "She's suing for infringem...

Re: NYT's Top 25 Movies Since 2000
I live in the world of instant access I barely could even dream of then, when a Buster Keaton movie playing at the film society was like the circus's once-a-year visit.. I remember reading everything I could about a movie before catching it at a revival house or at a festival - by doing so, plots w...

Silent Films made from obscure "classic" fables
1. In the waning days of Mark Twain, George Ade was "the new Bob Dylan." Ade's writing- some plays, but usually his short "fables in slang" - inspired 115 films, primarily from Essanay. George, more than once, had three shows running simultaneously on Broadway, and his name adorns Purdue's Ross-Ade...

I've long had, but never read, the 1967 tome on the French artiste (trouser whistling was the least of his dorsal specialties), so I was surprised to see, just now in Wikipedia, that he had been filmed in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rIXipAV6Fs 2.
