  4. A look at how the 1920 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reshaped Stevenson through Wildean decadence, silent-era psychology, and a touch of early cinematic chaos. A century later, its strange DNA still echoes through every misbehaving Victorian monster on screen.

  5. One-Eyed Jacks (1961) is as thematically uneven as its director-star Marlon Brando’s range was wide. Alternately blunt and subtle, the film’s irregular approach achieves a precarious balance in a notable sequence that features a replica of the Mona Lisa quietly hanging in the background like Poe’s purloined letter.

  15. Remembering #SimoneSignoret (1921-85), the Oscar / Emmy / BAFTA / Cesar Award-winning French film, television and stage actress, born Simone Henriette Charlotte Kaminker in Wiesbaden #OnThisDay. Widely acclaimed for, among others, Jack Clayton's #RoomAtTheTop (1958), but also unforgettable as the scheming teacher in Clouzot's #LesDiaboliques (1955) and the duplicitous "psychic" in Curtis Harrington's #Games (1967).

  16. We watched "Big Brown Eyes" the other night via Criterion Channel. Apparently not much appreciated on its release in 1936, both the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed. Snappy dialogue, good cast, cool cinematography. Also amazingly efficiently done with its running time of around an hour. Left you wanting more. Directed by Raoul Walsh with Cary Grant, Joan Bennett, and Walter Pidgeon.

  17. Sometimes a film I've loved in the past doesn't quite hold up - but rather chuffed how much I still enjoyed The Thin Man (1934) this evening (must be 15+ years since I last saw it) - maybe loved it even more than before. Such an adorable cast. Nice to see it on the big screen too!
