Leave Well-Enough Alone. Please.
Here we go... Who doesn't have Robin Williams memories? I remember watching Mork and Mindy as a little kid. Heck, I had the suspenders. He was an unique talent with a bright, sharp, quick wit and explosive energy that refused to stay confined to a script. It's been ten years since he's been gone, and … Continue reading Leave Well-Enough Alone. Please.

I’m Your Huck Finn
What's in a name... Huckleberry Finn is by far Mark Twain's most infamous and incorrigible character, and from the time Twain published The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1884 no one has ever been indifferent to young Finn. There was, however, one time when he came very close, and that was the 1939 film adaptation starring … Continue reading I’m Your Huck Finn

A Most Unusual Midwife
Miss Agnes is back... Some movies don't deserve to be forgotten, and 1962's Jessica is one of those. While it's not a great film, it's a charmer and well-worth a watch.

Hitch Films Another Play
Good evening... Hitchcock was no stranger to filming plays. His first one was the limp Juno And the Paycock, a depressing affair that was only made bearable by Sara Allgood. Almost a quarter of a century later, Hitch was feeling a little stagnant, so he decided to film another play, Dial M For Murder, which was released … Continue reading Hitch Films Another Play
