Dennis Atkinson RIP
I didn’t know Dennis personally, but like many on this board I purchased films from him. He was instrumental in finding many rare and lost prints. He was one of the founding members of the Saginaw CineSation. I hope others who knew him will share their memories.

The Most Meta Moment Ever in a B-Western
Upload courtesy of Geno's House of Rare Films, CALL OF THE ROCKIES (1944) is a well-made Republic oater notable for being Sunset Carson's first leading role (even if he is billed under Smiley Burnette). What makes this western special is the ending (at 54:19), which lifts this B-western into the Met...
