The Front Page (1974)
Sure it’s been done before and yes the Cary Grant-Rosalind Russell-Howard Hawks version is a classic that no one should ever try to improve upon. Agreed no? But what if Billy […]
A Novel Idea…. The Next Chapter.
Never judge a movie by it’s book cover. In my never ending search for movie memorabilia I frequently hit book shops and thrift stores and inevitably find myself looking at […]

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau : The Movie Poster Collection

California Suite (1978)
I must say that with a cast like the one that turned up for this Neil Simon screenplay the laughs don’t come nearly as often as I would have liked […]
The Klaus Kinski Explosion
I can never get to much of a good Klaus Kinski story. His films with Werner Herzog are the stuff of legends. The stories whether fabricated as Herzog has suggested […]
Sophia Loren….Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow – My Life
