Re: MYSTERY SEA RAIDER (1940) WITH Carole landis
Dymtryk is one of those directors who's early work is often more fun and easier to take than when they become fully matured directors. Most of his films from the 50's tend to be rather ponderous (although I've always had a soft spot for THE YOUNG LIONS (58) ) Oh , I don't know, he did some good fil...

Re: HIS FIRST FLAT TIRE
Going through a box of super 8mm movies I came across a Blackhawk Films print of a one reel comedy simply labeled on the box HIS FIRST FLAT TIRE. Being this has been in storage for so many years I have no memory of it or even purchasing it from Blackhawk. Definitely from the mid 1970's. Not having ...

MYSTERY SEA RAIDER (1940) WITH Carole landis
Hey Kids, it's B-movie time!
Here's a fun little Paramount programmer with the lovely Landis, Henry Wilcoxon in a rare lead, all under Eddie Dymtryk's direction (he handled a number of terrific B's):

Re: SHAKE RATTLE AND ROCK (1956) with Margaret Dumont
Didn't Kolb make an appearance on Ed Sullivan the same year he died, or just before? (Would have been interesting if he had made the appearance just after he died, but Ed wasn't quite that skilled a mortician.) I seem to have a memory of watching him and a ringer partner do one of K&D's skits o...

Cinevent Notes: BULLDOG JACK (1935)
Herman Cyril “Sapper” McNeile’s fabulous adventurer Bulldog Drummond was nearly as popular as Sherlock Holmes in the 1920’s, a hit with the Public from the publication of the first novel, BULLDOG DRUMMOND in 1920. Captain Hugh Drummond D. S. O., M.C., late of His Majesty’s Royal Loamshires, along wi...

review of TOO MUCH JOHNSON at LACMA May 3, 2014
You know, as an aging, jaded film historian, I can wearily attest these days to the few who still give a rats ass that over the years there have indeed been a number of “lost” films that I have had the pleasure and privilege of checking off my “to see” list, partially due to so many “lost” films bei...

Nitratevile Reality Dept: THE DAFFY DILL
Hey Steve Massa, you can tell the guy who thinks his little strip of THE DAFFY DILL with Neal Burns is a major "lost" film discovery is as usual wrong. I have a complete print of it, LOC has a complete print of it, and at least two other collectors I know have prints of it. We ran a big ch...

Cinevent Notes: MR ROBINSON CRUSOE (1932)
Douglas Fairbanks Sr.’s talkie career in some ways is the real version of the John Gilbert legend, and also once again proves that having plenty of money, your own studio, and all the production control in the world cannot save a career when the public’s tastes change. Five talkies was all it took, ...

Re: SHAKE RATTLE AND ROCK (1956) with Margaret Dumont
Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I did! But my vision included Snitz Edwards, too, and I don't see him in this clip. Jim Snitz would have been great in this, but he was long dead (1937) by then, unlike Clarence Kolb, who was 83 when he made this and would make it to 90. I love it that he plays himsel...
