I absolutely love the unique color tones and printing quality of Japanese magazines from this era. It gives her classic look such a beautiful, nostalgic atmosphere. Hope you all enjoy it!😊

Ralph Bellamy and Claude Rains in The Wolf Man 1941. I think this movie was really good and the acting was really good in this

Leaving Hermes Pan out would leave a huge hole in the story.

Fred reportedly said Pan was “the only person he ever saw who could dance like he did.”

At RKO they essentially had a private rehearsal setup, and Astaire was quite protective of it. They'd often work 10–12 hours a day together.

Pan was Fred Astaire’s longtime choreographic collaborator and rehearsal partner, as well as one of his closest friends.

They worked together on 17 of Astaire’s 31 musical films, beginning with Flying Down to Rio in 1933, and their professional relationship continued for more than 30 years.

When Fred was developing a partnered routine, Pan would often work it out with him first — often dancing the woman’s part.

Pan would then rehearse the finished number with Ginger Rogers or one of Fred’s other female partners, taking Fred’s part until Astaire stepped in.

He was far more than an assistant. Astaire called him his “ideas man,” and the two remained close for decades.

Robert Blake and Scott Wilson in In Cold Blood 1967. What's your thoughts on this movie?

John Carradine for House Of Dracula 1945. What's your thoughts on this movie?

Wanted to share this vintage page from 1955.

The Japanese text on the left notes that she was voted the number one most popular actress for the second consecutive year.
It is amazing to see how much she was loved by Japanese fans back then. Hope you enjoy this piece of history!😊

Hi all two things, one big and one specific.

First, does anyone have the complete list of movies that aired during TCM's Creepy Cinema segment this year (2026)? I'd love to have the whole lineup.

Second, and what I'm really trying to figure out: one of the clips shown was from a black and white movie a woman with short blonde hair lying on a bed looking up at the ceiling. That shot has stuck with me and I never caught the title.

I know The Snake Pit (1948) and Gaslight (1944) were both in this year's block, and I'm wondering if it was one of those, but I'm honestly not sure. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starred in this soapy melodrama placed in The Big Sur.

Elizabeth Taylor was probably at her most "naturally" beautiful in this film which was a complete success. It was the Golden Age of the Taylor-Burton "Touch of Midas"

Taylor played a boheme who lived in a house right out of Goodhousekeeping in the 1990s AND had an affair with Burton; now, how fictional could THAT be?

Allegedly, Taylor accepted this role to the ton of money they were willing to pay her.

I think this is one of my guilty pleasures.

Elizabeth Taylor is, arguably, at her most beautiful.

I adore this film.

Vincent Price in The Oblong Box 1969. What's your thoughts on this movie?

Certainly not the best actress in the best movie, but I certainly enjoy this one. It gives a clear vision of the role stars had to moviegoers back then without trying to be more than what it is. Fans wanted her suffering in glamorous gowns, and they certainly got it here.

Dracula's Daughter (1936)

Two nights ago I watched Bordertown (1935), a melodrama starring Paul Muni and Bette Davis in one of her earlier dramatic roles after she received widespread praise for her role as Mildred Rogers in Of Human Bondage (1934).

Paul plays Johnny Ramirez, a man who grew up impoverished and had huge aspirations of making a better life for himself as an attorney at law. Bette plays Marie Roark, the wife of a nightclub owner who hires Johnny after he is unable to find work as an attorney.

I will not spoil the rest as I’d like you all to enjoy it like I did for the first time if you haven’t seen it already.

Personally, I enjoyed it but I feel like this film was absolutely butchered by the Hays Code which inadvertently led to Bette Davis receiving less screen time than she should have which is a shame because I watched this film to see her. Nonetheless, her acting and performance were phenomenal.

If you read the Wikipedia page after watching, you will see that the film had other ideas for the characters and plot until the code prevented those themes from making it into the Final Cut. Personally, I think those pre-code themes that didn’t make it in would’ve made the film all the more interesting.

I will say I was disappointed by the ending as it felt very dull. Maybe it’s because I prefer the endings to pre-code movies.

This film was my introduction to Paul Muni. He is a wonderful actor and I will be watching more films featuring him in the future. Totally recommend this film if you like Bette Davis or 1930s melodramas.
