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.

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...
