  1. CURIOSIDADES DE CINE… REMBRANDT DE ALEXANDER KORDA.
    Alexander Korda y Charles Laughton volvian a coincidir de nuevo en un largometraje después de su anterior colaboración, La vida privada de Enrique VIII.

  2. Billy Wilder – „Zeugin der Anklage“ (1957)

    Gerichtssäle sind im Kino ja immer auch Bühnen. Als Orte der Inszenierung, kunstvoller Rhetorik und Macht über die Narrative. Genau deshalb funktionieren sie so gut als Filmraum. Wer spricht überzeugender? Wer kontrolliert die Blicke? Wer schreibt womöglich die Geschichte eines Verbrechens um? Dieser ewige Klassiker des Genres von Billy Wilder gehört wohl zu den elegantesten Antworten auf all diese Fragen. Mit einer glatt unglaublichen Marlene Dietrich. (ARTE, Wh.)

  7. she & laughton had, by all accounts, a stable (if not passionate) union from 1929 until laughton’s death in 1962. it didn’t produce any offspring. elsa didn’t want children - although her autobiography alleges there was no progeny because charles was homosexual. i guess elsa learned well from her mum.

  11. if shelley duvall & sigourney weaver had together conceived a child who was old enough to be their mum (what?), she’d be this stunner right here. as it stands, her life story’s compelling enough. 
    elsa lanchester was born to bohemian parents who refused - as a big FU to society - to be legally married. her mum, edith ‘biddy’ lanchester, was a feminist & a socialist who later worked as secretary to eleanor marx (daughter of the famous karl, who’s pissing people off even today).

  13. #art #history: every 28th october, i use elsa lanchester (born #otd in 1902) as an excuse to pay homage to mary wollstonecraft shelley's masterpiece, 'frankenstein'. mind you, elsa was pretty cool, herself. difficult not to be when you're the daughter of a suffragette who was also secretary to eleanor marx.
    i've got more to say about elsa in the response posts below, so read or ignore as you wish.

  21. One of my all-time favorite thrillers, “Ladies in Retitement” (1941), is currently streaming on #CriterionChannel as part of their Noir By Gaslight collection. As it’s a Columbia Pictures production, it doesn’t get much play elsewhere (*cough* TCM), so this is a great opportunity.

    Wonderful cast headed by Ida Lupino in her personal favorite role. Great atmospheric direction and cinematography by Charles Vidor and George Barnes.

  29. Elsa Lanchester, on the set of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935).

    Photographer: Unknown.

    I consider it a tragedy Lanchester is not better known today, and is probably most remembered for bit parts in Disney films like MARY POPPINS.
