With a sensational title like The Bigamist, one might expect something lurid and exploitative from the film. Definitely from the titular lead, Edmond O’Brien. But, no, poor O’Brien is just a married traveling salesman with a barren, work-oriented wife (Joan Fontaine) so who can blame hi   read more

Happy Birthday to Classic Movie Legend, Ida Lupino, born February 4th, 1918. To me, Ida Lupino is one of best female role models in the world of classic film.

Ida Lupino: Not a "poor man's" anything. As an actress, Ida Lupino referred to herself as “a poor man’s Bette Davis,” and as a director, she called herself “the poor man’s Don Siegel,” but for me, she wasn’t the poor man’s anything.  For me, Ida personified the hard-boiled, scotch-dri   read more
