Michael Gough ( above ) was born 96 years ago today in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, and remarkably, he is still alive . An incredibly sly and versatile English character actor - equally at home reading the dialogue of Shakespeare, Chekhov, Pinter, Berthold Brecht, or Jimmy Sangster (the principal scribe of Hammer horror) - Mr. Gough has worked with more good film directors than you can name - among them,...
This one comes straight from our collection of Free Online Movies. Beat the Devil is a 1953 classic directed by the great John Huston and co-written by Truman Capote, which stars Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollobrigida. Not a bad lineup. It’s technically a noir film. But it’s really a dramatic comedy (or [...]
This is slightly old news (it happened while I was away on vacation), but a reader brought this to my attention this week so I thought I'd post it. As I posted a few months ago, the long-awaited DVD release of John Huston's beautiful final film "The Dead" was announced last summer for November 3. Sadly (and inexplicably), Lionsgate managed to botch the release, putting out a version of the...
This is a bold and high-minded stab at the ultimate unfilmable book, writes Peter Bradshaw In 1967, the American film-maker Joseph Strick took a bold and high-minded stab at the ultimate unfilmable book: Joyce's Ulysses. Inevitably, it's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that. Milo O'Shea gives a very decent performance...

Most people today probably don’t even know who Lauren Bacall is, or even care. She is a great actress and a good American. Bacall is a staunch liberal Democrat. She has proclaimed her political views on numerous occasions. But she has never stopped supporting a strong America, and for that I admire her most. She appeared

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood veterans turned out in force to see Lauren Bacall, grand dame of film noir, receive an honorary Oscar at the motion picture academy's Governors Awards on Saturday night, away from TV cameras.
Sultry, intelligent Lauren Bacall is one of my favorite actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

A month later Allied forces reached the German Gustav and the campaign to take Monte Cassino began. The battle of San Pietro would, no doubt, be just a small...
