Another year, another roundup of classic film books. This is my twelfth year doing these lists and I'm grateful that publishers continue to recognize the market for books about film history. 2026 marks Marilyn Monroe's centennial so you'll see plenty of titles about her here (with more coming in the second half of the year!). The BFI has increased their output of their BFI Film Classics series and there are some interesting new and updated editions coming out.</p><p>Are you new to my list? Here are the details. The books include biographies, memoirs, scholarly texts, coffee table books and more from a variety of publishers. For any scholarly books I make sure the ones included are affordable. There are also some reissues, expanded and paperback editions added to the bunch. Publication dates range from <b>January 2026 to June 2026</b> and these are subject to change. These are U.S. release dates. International release dates and availability may vary. This is by no means a complete list.&nbsp;</p><p>Links go to Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Powell's (note that a lot of Powell's links will be missing as they've changed what they list and how far ahead they list). I receive a small commission if you shop through some (not all) of my buy links.&nbsp;</p><p>Happy reading!</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">JANUARY</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm proud to introduced the newest classic film related books publishing in the second half of 2025. There is a great mix of titles here and lots of different subjects and plenty of returning authors too. And per usual you'll find new titles on Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Alfred Hitchcock and John Wayne because the industry hasn't run out of ideas on books about them.</p><p>A special shout out to my friends Kim Luperi and Danny Reid who have an excellent book coming out on Pre-Code films! They are both top experts on the subject matter and I'm excited for you to all to read their new book.</p><p>Are you new to my list? Here are the details. The books include biographies, memoirs, scholarly texts, coffee table books and more from a variety of publishers. For any scholarly books I make sure the ones included are affordable. There are also some reissues and paperback editions added to the bunch. Publication dates range from July 2025 to December 2025 and these are subject to change. These are U.S. release dates. International release dates and availability may vary. Note that this is by no means a complete list.&nbsp;</p><p>Links go to Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Powell's (note that a lot of Powell's links will be missing as they've changed what they list and how far ahead they list). I receive a small commission if you shop through some (not all) of my buy links.&nbsp;</p><p>Happy reading!</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><h2>JULY</h2><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The world of forensic medicine.” — Quincy M.E.</b></i></p><p></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>When a major celebrity passes away under mysterious or violent circumstances, it’s natural for the public to demand answers. What happened? How did they die? Did they suffer? Who or what is responsible for their death? And the person most qualified to answer these questions is a medical examiner or coroner. The art of the autopsy is one that has advanced greatly over the last several decades. Examining the body with attention to detail, running toxicology, ruling out countless scenarios and performing a psychological examination of the decedent all help the coroner interpret the story of the dead to the living. However, coroners are not infallible and any oversight or misstep can prevent justice from being served or lead to the proliferation of conspiracy theories about what actually happened.&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p></p><blockquote><b><i>“Dating to medieval England, the coroner was a public official that was responsible for looking after the interests of the king when it came to the payment of death duties and to serve as a counterbalance to the sheriff. The coroner also presided over the coroner’s inquest where a jury would determine the manner of death—accident, suicide, or homicide based on evidence and eyewitness testimony. This very public display of the adjudication of death was to reassure the public that order would prevail.” — Anne Soon Choi</i></b></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Dubbed the Coroner to the Stars, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, chief medical examiner for Los Angeles County, is one of the most famous and perhaps most controversial figure in the history of forensic science. A new book, <b><i>L.A. Coroner: Thomas Noguchi and Death in Hollywood</i> by Anne Soon Choi</b>, examines the complicated legacy of Noguchi through his trials and tribulations working for Los Angeles County and through his most complicated cases. The author carefully navigates the story of a man who chased the American dream of hard work and upward mobility and became one of the best in his field but was plagued by mishaps and a constant need for attention and approval.&nbsp;</p><p>Each chapter focuses on one major aspect of his career whether it’s his fight with the county to achieve the status of chief medical examiner—and then again to keep it—or the autopsy of a major celebrity and the ramifications of that work. Despite being a book about a coroner, Choi is careful to avoid sharing too much of the gruesome details. For those readers like myself, your morbid curiosity won't be fully satisfied. Others will appreciate that each case is treated with much respect with the focus being on the details of Noguchi’s work.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Some of Noguchi’s famous autopsies include:</b></p><p><b>Marilyn Monroe — RFK — Sharon Tate — William Holden — Natalie Wood — John Belushi — Albert Dekker — Divine — David Janssen — Janis Joplin — Gia Scala — Inger Stevens</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Classic film and television enthusiasts will be interested in the dedicated chapters on Marilyn Monroe, Sharon Tate and Natalie Wood, which also discusses William Holden at length.&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some key takeaways of interest:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Noguchi’s work was the <b>inspiration for Jack Klugman’s character in Quincy M.E.</b> and one could say that Robert Ito’s character Sam Fujiyama is a hat tip to Noguchi’s Japanese heritage.</li><li>Noguchi handled the autopsies of both <b>William Holden and Natalie Wood</b>—who died two weeks apart. His public statements about the level of intoxication of both figures drew ire from the public.</li><li>Upset with Noguchi’s handling of Natalie Wood’s case, <b>Frank Sinatra went to the administration office and presented a letter asking for Noguchi to be fired</b>. According to the author, “Sinatra noted he was “particularly disturbed by Dr. Noguchi’s constant seeking of headlines and publicity for himself and investigations, often involving entertainers or other well-known individuals.”</li><li><b>Marilyn Monroe’s case heavily relied on a psychological autopsy</b> performed by another coroner to interpret Noguchi’s findings.</li><li>Noguchi was sometimes careful what to reveal to the public and what to hold back. <b>He was particularly cautious with Sharon Tate’s murder</b> and the presence of the rope.</li><li>His autopsy on RFK is referred to as the “perfect autopsy” and is studied as the gold standard by future coroners.</li><li><b>The deaths of JFK and Marilyn Monroe led to the public interest in autopsies and forensic science</b>. This interest would skyrocket during the 1970s and continues today.</li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Dr. Thomas Noguchi’s story is incredible complicated and I commend the author for handling it so delicately. Choi artfully weaves the story Noguchi’s career with his cases while shining a light on his battle with racism and his own personal failings. Choi’s “autopsy” on Noguchi’s complicated career leaves the reader with a comprehensive look in which no stone is left unturned.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>L.A.

The books include biographies, memoirs, scholarly texts, coffee table books and more from a variety of publishers. For any scholarly books I make sure the ones included are affordable. There are also some reissues and paperback editions added to the bunch. Publication dates range from July to December 2024 and these are subject to change. I also added a few titles I missed in roundup #22.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>These are U.S. release dates.

So it was natural that I'd check out TCM and Running Press' follow-up <i>Forbidden Cocktails.</i> This one is themed around Pre-Code films, the era of filmmaking from 1930-1934 where the Hays Code—a set of guidelines that controlled how movies depicted, sex, vice, violence and morality—was in place but not enforced. As a result, there is a good 3-1/2 year period of time where we get the spiciest movies that early Hollywood had to offer. This era also coincided with Prohibition which in the United States made the consumption and sale of alcohol illegal. Prohibition ended December 5th, 1933 and we see a shift in how drinking is portrayed on screen after that. What was once forbidden then became celebratory.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Forbidden Cocktails: Libations Inspired by the World of Pre-Code Hollywood</i>&nbsp;was written by author and mixologist&nbsp;André Darlington. He also co-wrote the TCM book&nbsp;<a href="https://www.outofthepastblog.com/2017/01/tcm-movie-night-menus.html" target="_blank"><i>Movie Night Menus</i></a> which paired a meal and drink with 30 classic movies. In <i>Forbidden Cocktails,</i> Darlington pairs 50 Pre-Code films with a cocktail that fits both the era as well as the themes of each movie. On developing these recipes, Darlington writes:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i></i><blockquote><i>“The mixed drinks I have created for this book are inspired by some of the most enjoyable and fascinating pre-code movies. The recipes employ period ingredients in formulations that pay homage to characters, locations, and scenarios in the films. Think of these cocktails as lost cousins that could have been consumed at the time.”</i></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: left;">The book presents the films in a fairly chronological order starting with<i> <b>The Divorcee </b></i><b>(1930)</b> and ending (appropriately!) with <i>The Thin Man</i> (1934). It contains a good mix of well-known Pre-Codes and a sprinkling of more obscure titles. Hardcore Pre-Code fans will recognize all of them but others will definitely find a few gems hidden within.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I found a handful of the recipes doable based on my own very limited liquor cabinet. Some will require a special trip to the liquor store. If you're concerned about the book being full of egg-white based cocktails, a common ingredient in cocktails of the early 20th century, fear not because there are very few to be found in the pages of this book.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Half the fun of this book&nbsp;was finding out how the cocktail matches its movie. Here are some notable Pre-Code cocktail pairings:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Dracula </i>(1931)</b> — Count Draiquiri with grenadine as blood.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Trouble in Paradise</i> (1932) </b>— Lubitsch Touch combines brandy, rum, apricot and lime for a cocktail with an air of sophistication.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>King Kong</i> (1933) </b>— King Kong himself gets his own twist on the Banana Manhattan which includes whiskey, amaro and banana liqueur.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Cocktail Hour </i>(1933)</b> — Kansas Romanov is a reference to a character who pretends to be a Russian countess but is really from Kansas. It's a take on the Vodka-Cran.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>It Happened One Night</i> (1934)</b> — It Happened One Morning is a coffee based cocktail with a donut garnish, a fun homage to the coffee and donuts scene from the film.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>The Thin Man</i> (1934)</b> — Asta gets his own cocktail which is inspired by the Hair of the Dog hangover chaser.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I made the <b><i>Safe in Hell</i> (1931) </b>cocktail named Lady from New Orleans. The title is both reference to the main character and to the Walter Bergeron' New Orleans cocktail View Carre from the 1930s. This cocktail also adds pineapple juice and is garnished with a pineapple leaf for that added tropical vibe.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5FOWE0gVzczzKaMc1U65Yqcp-xgJTrxcYX2NNMO3EbI62GVFz7zxHkg_yjXT2S-yyW2-YAbH5nNmqq0tAMzWY2tVLHVY2OAoFmTT59lRbnsCPEDWgf-qBM7FydRP-s15NEnJ2sDPDDWkf3fjL4xN11Y4ShD_epAqR8QWjXmqIc7rjF9aR9B2MUmVdCg/s5712/IMG_7464.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="5712" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI5FOWE0gVzczzKaMc1U65Yqcp-xgJTrxcYX2NNMO3EbI62GVFz7zxHkg_yjXT2S-yyW2-YAbH5nNmqq0tAMzWY2tVLHVY2OAoFmTT59lRbnsCPEDWgf-qBM7FydRP-s15NEnJ2sDPDDWkf3fjL4xN11Y4ShD_epAqR8QWjXmqIc7rjF9aR9B2MUmVdCg/w640-h480/IMG_7464.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have a few small quibbles with the book. While the design has an Art Deco feel, the black pages and the cover are slightly off-putting. I originally liked the cover but after looking at it numerous times it just doesn't seem to suit the book or the others in the TCM library. I also think <i>Noir Bar</i> is a far stronger book than <i>Forbidden Cocktails</i>. The background information provided with each movie feels pretty standard.&nbsp;<i>Noir Bar </i>benefits from having an author who is both well-versed in film history but a trained mixologist himself.

There is lots here for those of you who enjoy Oscar history, fashion, Westerns, film noir, etc. There are 80+ new titles featured so plenty options to consider!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Are you new to my list? Here are the details. The books include biographies, memoirs, scholarly texts, coffee table books and more from a variety of publishers. For any scholarly books I make sure the ones included are affordable. There are also some reissues and paperback editions added to the bunch. Publication dates range from January to July 2024 and these are subject to change. These are U.S. release dates. International release dates and availability may vary.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Warning: If you look on Amazon for new classic film titles, please note that there are a lot of AI generated ones for sale. Use your discretion!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Also, McFarland on sale dates change frequently and chances are the below on sale dates for those titles will not stick.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Links go to Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Powell's (I will add Larry Edmund's links as they become available). I receive a small commission if you shop through some (not all) of my buy links.&nbsp;</div><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">JANUARY</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is a newly updated, revised and expanded edition of Christmas in the Movies: 30 Classics to Celebrate the Season published in 2018 (<a href="https://www.outofthepastblog.com/2018/12/christmas-movies-book.html" target="_blank">read my review here</a>).</div><p style="text-align: left;">This new edition has, of course, 5 additional Christmas movies. Each movie is presented with an essay that gives background, synopsis, a little analysis and an exploration of the Christmas elements as well as poster art and photographs from the movie. Some notable movies covered include Christmas in Connecticut, It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas, Holiday Inn, etc. I particularly enjoyed the pieces on Remember the Night, Beyond Tomorrow, Cheaters, Holiday Affair, and Elf.</p><p style="text-align: left;">This new edition also boasts 70 pages of additional content including several really great thematic essays. These include:&nbsp; Christmas movies of 1947,&nbsp; Christmas and Film Noir, Disney Christmas Cartoons, essays on different adaptations of Little Women, A Christmas Carol, Three Godfathers, etc.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I was particularly taken with the Christmas and Film Noir piece and how it explored the dichotomy of the two very different movie styles and how they come together.&nbsp;</p><div style="text-align: left;"></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><i>“Film Noir is a visual style and storytelling attitude that stresses fatalism, cynicism, and sinister undercurrents of society that pull characters into a sordid world from which there is usually no escape. Christmas movies guide characters up, toward their better, positive natures; noir pulls them down, toward the depths of their own destructive impulses.” — Jeremy Arnold</i></div><div></div></blockquote><div><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMU0aE0GxT6noqt8sKGMd0-VrCzKXuZlPtfb8TnPudewrSw-LAUUMbMUXeXsGaA3LxHrdk7IXoj-9o-6Vovu4H9lI_smzWvem0juma74io5FoN64I7Ej8GS3hru_iFn9HWeBgKKgW9_TvoaHDwvs81FkZ1ZI3dhhR8ckgvbGfu0ey5YMaG6xsVeCqcCls/s4200/ChristmasMovies1.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="4200" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMU0aE0GxT6noqt8sKGMd0-VrCzKXuZlPtfb8TnPudewrSw-LAUUMbMUXeXsGaA3LxHrdk7IXoj-9o-6Vovu4H9lI_smzWvem0juma74io5FoN64I7Ej8GS3hru_iFn9HWeBgKKgW9_TvoaHDwvs81FkZ1ZI3dhhR8ckgvbGfu0ey5YMaG6xsVeCqcCls/w640-h412/ChristmasMovies1.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>interior spread courtesy of Running Press<br />source: Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcIM-r6_wsMT1YAUB_zEUWYaZzuwYA2JNLAZAD0iaVsQxn3ZOJNOzpFOW9F692Zgf7BeIDFUN4CRaTdtTZ4uFQ07ycAlGKpCGO4-w_DTnGPA85mWSIrAnLz4KwobkbMkrCJF3T5Dagh4K8qsw9Jb9jyw-4ILlxj2ng45JkJMSMEDnHsV4iVMquUKBYIo/s4200/ChristmasMovies2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="4200" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmcIM-r6_wsMT1YAUB_zEUWYaZzuwYA2JNLAZAD0iaVsQxn3ZOJNOzpFOW9F692Zgf7BeIDFUN4CRaTdtTZ4uFQ07ycAlGKpCGO4-w_DTnGPA85mWSIrAnLz4KwobkbMkrCJF3T5Dagh4K8qsw9Jb9jyw-4ILlxj2ng45JkJMSMEDnHsV4iVMquUKBYIo/w640-h412/ChristmasMovies2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>interior spread courtesy of Running Press<br />source: Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOiO1hGQqDfwjqUbODdwooR6SHlktMMlThR531C1KTdt-ReSGaOyPqmwUFa5my99Dc5tQ1j0nVmOIvcn7kXI_-As8znaS9rc52GJsBnslvz_jSMw5Xfa7JV1j4WAQL0HVwF9_MY9yt9T-5cldbHyJ7l93lfKsHTVg6HIL-7OS1Izk1KWoXgcToUW_aLE/s4200/ChristmasMovies3.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2700" data-original-width="4200" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOiO1hGQqDfwjqUbODdwooR6SHlktMMlThR531C1KTdt-ReSGaOyPqmwUFa5my99Dc5tQ1j0nVmOIvcn7kXI_-As8znaS9rc52GJsBnslvz_jSMw5Xfa7JV1j4WAQL0HVwF9_MY9yt9T-5cldbHyJ7l93lfKsHTVg6HIL-7OS1Izk1KWoXgcToUW_aLE/w640-h412/ChristmasMovies3.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>interior spread courtesy of Running Press<br />source: Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>A worthy upgrade for those who already own the original book.

Directed by Howard Bretherton and William Keighley for Warner Bros., Barbara Stanwyck stars as Nan Taylor, a glamorous gun moll and a member of a bank robbing gang led by Don (Lyle Talbot) and Lefty (Harold Huber). Nan is a career criminal and has her job down pat. She's just needs to distract the cops and the people in charge while her cohorts do the dirty work. But one day her plan doesn't quite work out and she ends up in the clink. The comes her knight-in-shining-armor David Slade (Preston Foster). He's a hymn shouting reformer who broadcasts his religious sermons over the radio and hosts popular revivals in the city. He's got significant influence on the public and on local politicians and he takes a particular interest in Nan. It doesn't hurt that he's attracted to her too. Nan isn't quite sure about him and while he tries to save her from a conviction she winds up in San Quentin (when they used to house both male and female prisoners) anyways.</p><p>Now Nan needs to navigate the social politics of a women's prison. She quickly befriends the spunky and no-nonsense Linda (Lillian Roth) who becomes her sidekick. Linda introduces Nan to a motley crew of characters. There's Aunt Maggie (Maude Eburne), a former madame and an important ally for Nan. Mustard (Madame Sul-Te-Wan) who gets into quite the battle of social dominance with a seemingly high-and-mighty prisoner. Keeping watch over the crew is Noonan (Ruth Donnelly) a hard-nose but sympathetic prison matron who always has a cockatoo on her shoulder. Nan makes an enemy in Susie (Dorothy Burgess), one of David Slade's devoted followers who seethes with jealousy at Nan's romantic connection with him. Nan soon needs to decide whether she's going to give this David Slade guy a chance or risk it all by continuing her life of crime.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaawEW8McMu8JICmz-104iQ67_Hp_pAQ6vq8uXbY6gDDuIqV8bbkdiyzr1k27oNe8P69CdAkgeI107iNqo_QhPOcCJIW3qMLLVuGrgFw0zJTj9FRz6ykHvMapi1N3sWWQGbh6TiA7z5ejO8RWOgGDunEnxAhLRYNLDTXsrGCTM60Lbma-KqhklM9K0tk/s1134/LadiesTheyTalkAboutGunMoll.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1134" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkaawEW8McMu8JICmz-104iQ67_Hp_pAQ6vq8uXbY6gDDuIqV8bbkdiyzr1k27oNe8P69CdAkgeI107iNqo_QhPOcCJIW3qMLLVuGrgFw0zJTj9FRz6ykHvMapi1N3sWWQGbh6TiA7z5ejO8RWOgGDunEnxAhLRYNLDTXsrGCTM60Lbma-KqhklM9K0tk/w640-h508/LadiesTheyTalkAboutGunMoll.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p>You really can't go wrong with a Pre-Code prison movie. There are so many good ones of the era including <i>20,000 Years in Sing Sing</i> (1932), <i>Paid</i> (1930) and my personal favorite <i>The Big House</i> (1930) (<a href="https://www.outofthepastblog.com/2017/04/big-house-1930.html" target="_blank">which I reviewed here</a>).<i> Ladies They Talk About</i> is thoroughly enjoyable despite a rather weak romantic storyline. The main draw really is the women-in-prison sequences. There's a reason this subgenre became popular during the exploitation era. It's titillating! <i>Ladies They Talk About</i> really has fun with the women's prison. Barbara Stanwyck's cell is decked out with fancy pillows, dolls, flowers, a dresser and even a gramophone to play records. The prisoners smoke cigarettes, do their hair and makeup and wear lingerie. One of them even gets to keep a pet dog. The film offers some outrageous fun with a crime drama and opposites-attract love story serving as just window dressing. How many other films boast Lillian Roth singing a love song to a picture of Joe E. Brown?!</p><p>Revisiting <i>Ladies They Talk About</i> sent me down the research rabbit hole about radio evangelism of the 1920s/1930s. While most people forget Preston Foster is even in this movie, I took special note of his character on this viewing. They tone down the religious elements—most likely to not offend any denominational groups—but it's clear that Foster's character represents the era when these figures influenced public morality through radio broadcasts and in-person revivals. This subject matter comes into play more prominently in another Barbara Stanwyck Pre-Code movie <i>The Miracle Woman</i> (1931) in which she plays an Aimee Semple McPherson type.</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4tW4c6H6j1A?si=4qQNBhqpX-_Jm_E6" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Ladies They Talk About</i> was based on the play <i>Women in Prison</i> by Dorothy Mackaye who based the story on her own time locked up in San Quentin. In the late 1920s, Mackaye was a stage actress married to song-and-dance performer Ray Raymond and embroiled in a passionate affair with another actor Paul Kelly. On April 26th, 1927, a drunk Raymond and an equally drunk Kelly got into a fight at Raymond and Mackaye's apartment. Kelly beat Raymond so brutally that when Raytmond went to bed that night he fell asleep and never woke up. Mackaye tried to clean up the mess her lover made by bribing the coroner to change her husband's autopsy report finding from blunt force trauma to natural causes. Her scheme backfired. Both Kelly and Mackaye went to trial, were convicted and subsequently sent to San Quentin. Mackaye and Kelly reunited and married once Kelly served his time. She wrote about her experience in a play and Kelly was able to continue his acting career.&nbsp; I haven't gotten my hands on the original play yet but I'd be curious to see how much of her own story was in the play and what was changed for the movie adaptation.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwoDpXbnE9eSzRcM7q7knHsliVg9rz0O_6hSDeIf1a_vByMkUy0deW4uvWT7yrFvutzixDV8ajcve-IwDBUNp6nm6ilVYx6ZSgQydHmXIEwPHs0IEn6itUf0pEfUS6r0I2odlr5iHQmTsPLV9pDNDToroEiNGcg215ZAtQM4Q0eWyS6Z9i-l-ND7gdXQ/s1958/LadiesTheyTalkAboutBluray.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1958" data-original-width="1400" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwoDpXbnE9eSzRcM7q7knHsliVg9rz0O_6hSDeIf1a_vByMkUy0deW4uvWT7yrFvutzixDV8ajcve-IwDBUNp6nm6ilVYx6ZSgQydHmXIEwPHs0IEn6itUf0pEfUS6r0I2odlr5iHQmTsPLV9pDNDToroEiNGcg215ZAtQM4Q0eWyS6Z9i-l-ND7gdXQ/w458-h640/LadiesTheyTalkAboutBluray.webp" width="458" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3R4t7BH" target="_blank">Amazon</a> — <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-ladies-they-talk-about-barbara-stanwyck/3623590?ean=0883929783281" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a> — <a href="https://www.gopjn.com/t/TEFNSUVHQUVESElGREFFRERJSUY?sid=104520&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepdiscount.com%2Fladies-they-talk-about%2F883929783281" target="_blank">Deep Discount</a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><i>Ladies They Talk About </i>(1933) is available on Blu-ray from the Warner Archive Collection.

Beverly has intimate knowledge of the family and specifically Oscar with whom she was raised almost as sibling. Graustark is expecting his arrival for the coronation but shortly before setting out on the journey Oscar is severely injured in a skiing accident. General Marlanax (Roy D'Arcy) convinces Beverly that she can pretend to be Oscar and complete the journey for him. Oscar hasn't been seen publicly since he was an infant and Beverly is the one person who knows Oscar well enough to play him. Beverly dresses in royal uniform and makes the treacherous journey to Graustark. On the way, Beverly meets Dantan (Antonio Moreno) a dashing and handsome goat farmer who saves Beverly/Oscar from an ambush. Dantan takes on the task of being her bodyguard not knowing that Oscar is really Beverly. The two begin to fall for each other causing a major identity crisis for Beverly who is eager to become herself again.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYJkXwAkCwHcOP6TxWVcbdedcyH_LhktJ4e91v5V1hzAHUVS-yHGA0GrA3jNNq0NmaeuPXuJe1-jplBVNgC-cMcCD_y9GgAeBj1v9nKWpW_lUdgW4pgV_XetzlSJlnSJ9qVwYBHhTNcUtxEFm41zQQwywp2dDpKRb4CDBP_9GL3axtz_oCw6CFqRKh08/s3000/BEVERLY_OF_GRAUSTARK_Marion-Davies_MoMA_002-rev-300.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="2310" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYJkXwAkCwHcOP6TxWVcbdedcyH_LhktJ4e91v5V1hzAHUVS-yHGA0GrA3jNNq0NmaeuPXuJe1-jplBVNgC-cMcCD_y9GgAeBj1v9nKWpW_lUdgW4pgV_XetzlSJlnSJ9qVwYBHhTNcUtxEFm41zQQwywp2dDpKRb4CDBP_9GL3axtz_oCw6CFqRKh08/w492-h640/BEVERLY_OF_GRAUSTARK_Marion-Davies_MoMA_002-rev-300.jpg" width="492" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>photo credit: Museum of Modern Art Film Stills Archive<br />Undercrank Productions, Library of Congress</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>This film is an adaptation of George Barr McCutcheon's 1904 novel <i>Beverly of Graustark</i>. McCutcheon wrote a series of books about the fictional kingdom of Graustark a few of each had been adapted. <i>Beverly of Graustark</i> had previously been adapted in 1914 with actress Linda Arvidson in the title role. This 1926 adaptation was made at MGM where Marion Davies was a contract star. A castle set was built specifically for the movie and outside the studio on location shooting was done in the Sierra Nevada mountains.</p><p>I enjoy stories about gender and identity and while the conceit of <i>Beverly of Graustark</i> is not terribly believable, Marion Davies does a fantastic job playing both Beverly and Beverly pretending to be Oscar. She looks quite handsome in her royal uniforms! She's matched beautifully with one of the Latin Lovers of early cinema, Antonio Moreno.

Her\ chaotic energy combined with her feminine aura created her unique brand of charisma that made her a legend. What impresses me most about Lucille Ball was her tenacity. She was a hard worker, incredibly driven in both her professional and personal life and always had the dogged determination to make her dreams come true. Lucille Ball went from being a chorus girl, to becoming the queen of Bs at RKO (and eventually owning the studio!), to then becoming the star, alongside her husband Desi Arnaz, of one of the most beloved and best-known TV shows of all time. Ball wasn't a natural born comedian. Instead, her talent for slapstick humor came from her perfectionism. She worked on her craft until it was perfect, making audiences believe it was her natural born talent and not something that required hours of work to make it look easy.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote><i>“I’m not ashamed to say that I stole liberally from her… She kind of paved the way for people like me to do [physical] comedy on sitcoms.” — Dick Van Dyke</i></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><i>AKA Lucy:&nbsp;</i><i>The Dynamic and Determined Life of Lucille Ball&nbsp;</i>by Sarah Royal is a celebration of this powerhouse entertainer, successful business woman and devoted wife, mother and friend. It's authorized by the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and the author is a pop culture historian who specializes in women in comedy.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The book doesn't read like a traditional biography which is its strong suit. It offers a way to experience a bit of Lucille Ball in book form rather than simply take in a bunch of information about her. In the introduction the author promises the reader that they'll "discover feminist achievements, a passionate love affair, dissections of humor, communist accusations, struggles in Hollywood’s golden age and a classic rags-to-riches tale.”</div><div><br /></div><div>Each chapter has a different theme. Some are biographical essays presented in chronological order. Others are timelines of Lucille Balls' life and certain aspects of her career or breakdowns of her comedy styles and notable episodes of I Love Lucy. Career-wise the book primarily focuses on her work in television with I Love Lucy and the subsequent spin-offs.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Her film career is lightly touched upon. Some of the films discussed at length include <i>Roman Scandals</i> (1933), <i>Stage Door</i> (1937), <i>Dance Girl Dance</i> (1940),&nbsp;<i>Du Barry Was a Lady</i> (1943), <i>Lured</i> (1947), <i>The Long, Long Trailer</i> (1954), <i>The Facts of Life</i> (1960), etc. There was no real information about my favorite Lucille Ball film <i>Yours, Mine and Ours</i> (1968) alas. While I would have liked to have read more about her films, the intended audience here is really the I Love Lucy fan who wants to learn more about the beloved star.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutT6Hwa7CR7Rwy1DzC9Mcp2izGtSB74Qznt4o-SXjt6nB9nvVp-BYjUuCnHtXGCqFw6CSEK46ESjsmctE69w22yHnKN9CV6i9hTYyU-noEslj5mDKTYpSMN9eHpmVRUQDwchIYFNYldg8hwyM2FR32JnaOtlkGKsXy2glCNbLYgl2RMhZc2dJkerXgG0/s1000/9780762484263_1_d7099.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="1000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgutT6Hwa7CR7Rwy1DzC9Mcp2izGtSB74Qznt4o-SXjt6nB9nvVp-BYjUuCnHtXGCqFw6CSEK46ESjsmctE69w22yHnKN9CV6i9hTYyU-noEslj5mDKTYpSMN9eHpmVRUQDwchIYFNYldg8hwyM2FR32JnaOtlkGKsXy2glCNbLYgl2RMhZc2dJkerXgG0/w640-h360/9780762484263_1_d7099.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>interior spread courtesy of Running Press<br />source: Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYkoLkCTDbaFShwpb5LpcbB0IZUlqLvTVTrkKFhVXUl1SCK92TeoOz_HWd9APha5czjo4cxGxM5QPWftN0M7CewDU2_VRGxXb4pVhA-kBqF_BAKWO1eUzBrboQ3BG69kZJxfaTCYixdx_qn1aJW5ogUKvZN_bomq-yjfZG4Rmf0Zpzn7lnRcniGoIWfo/s1000/9780762484263_2_e7878.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="1000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYkoLkCTDbaFShwpb5LpcbB0IZUlqLvTVTrkKFhVXUl1SCK92TeoOz_HWd9APha5czjo4cxGxM5QPWftN0M7CewDU2_VRGxXb4pVhA-kBqF_BAKWO1eUzBrboQ3BG69kZJxfaTCYixdx_qn1aJW5ogUKvZN_bomq-yjfZG4Rmf0Zpzn7lnRcniGoIWfo/w640-h360/9780762484263_2_e7878.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />interior spread courtesy of Running Press<br />source: Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div><div>The book also goes into great detail into her marriage to Desi Arnaz.

He was born in 1895 in Boston, Massachusetts and was raised by a theatrical family. Bby the time he was a toddler he was already performing on stage. Griffith unfortunately lost his voice at a young age—the result of a childhood bout of respiratory diphtheria and overworking his vocal chords. From then on he spoke in a hoarse whisper (think Jack Klugman post-cancer). While this sidelined his theatrical career, silent films gave Griffith a new opportunity to showcase his acting talents when his voice wasn't needed. Griffith was a natural comedian and worked with everyone from Mack Sennett to Cecil B. DeMille to Alice Howell. He went under contract with Paramount Pictures and starred in a series of film as a bon vivant character who donned a silk hat and a tuxedo with coattails. This gave him a signature look much in the vein of other silent film comedians.&nbsp; Harold Lloyd had his glasses. Charlie Chaplin had his mustache and bowler hat and Buster Keaton had his stoneface expression. Raymond Griffith had his silk hat. When the industry transitioned from silent film to sound, his hoarse whisper prevented him from continuing his acting work. He did make one notable appearance in the film <i>All Quiet on the Western Front </i>(1930) as a dying French soldier. He shifted his focus to production and was an associate producer or producer throughout the 1930s working on films like <i>Three on a Match</i> (1932), <i>Baby Face </i>(1933) and <i>Gold Diggers of 1933</i>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While popular in his day, he's since become an obscure figure of the past. Much of his film work is lost which makes the release of this double-feature all that more special.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEUdfkzgnBhuOrKvHK4hX3ESKDYHVrsk78e7Kv303VYjb-fFzbd2V3VqmCKJc5tOnhCRpcWel4dSImOHbg5Ho14ekb27uSweTomC0215I2hJSgqGZ7C2f9IZRiic3SM9r_GOCMCQLC4IIofnFt1_1_uZS6W9QKvClizw63DcFcwKBNy_vgHkkRNp7gLA/s3000/Raymond-Griffith-Paths-to-Paradise_MoMA.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2336" data-original-width="3000" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEUdfkzgnBhuOrKvHK4hX3ESKDYHVrsk78e7Kv303VYjb-fFzbd2V3VqmCKJc5tOnhCRpcWel4dSImOHbg5Ho14ekb27uSweTomC0215I2hJSgqGZ7C2f9IZRiic3SM9r_GOCMCQLC4IIofnFt1_1_uZS6W9QKvClizw63DcFcwKBNy_vgHkkRNp7gLA/w640-h498/Raymond-Griffith-Paths-to-Paradise_MoMA.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">photo credit:&nbsp; Museum of Modern Art Film Stills</td></tr></tbody></table><br />The first film on the Blu-ray is <i>Paths to Paradise</i> (1925).&nbsp; Set in 1920s San Francisco, the story follows two con-artists—played by Raymond Griffith and Betty Compson—who join force to steal a necklace. Their target is a wealthy man who plans to gift the necklace to his daughter on her wedding day. He's a bit too vocal about his prized possession telling everyone that it contains the largest diamond in the country. The story then follows the hijinks of the two con-artists as they attempt to steal the necklace and get away with it.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>It's a fun comedy made even more delightful with a cute dog who seems to be the only character who realizes what the con-artists are doing. The film does contain an unfortunate sequence set in Chinatown which features offensive language and actors in yellow face. A warning about this content is given before the start of the film. This is a seven-reel comedy missing its final reel. Information gathered from surviving stills as well as a continuity script is presented in several title cards, accompanied by the musical score, where the seventh reel be played.<div><div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCaSWl0GKGYjF70OF8uTdQj4Ufw38c4_z91FXX6jJAdsUxAYX5t9LXUqu9pigc73ft_KBhqVKBdofDbSMnpYKDaupvbRJtZewCZ9Yw_m8xHmoksAbGPt0f8PrvtSKAijI71y4gNfF3cxNnpd5HQ43luRt02XO31zcOvhMgt3ovEoCcrzHjUIHYzEgZFg/s3000/Raymond-Griffith-Youd-Be-Surprised-MoMA01.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2346" data-original-width="3000" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCaSWl0GKGYjF70OF8uTdQj4Ufw38c4_z91FXX6jJAdsUxAYX5t9LXUqu9pigc73ft_KBhqVKBdofDbSMnpYKDaupvbRJtZewCZ9Yw_m8xHmoksAbGPt0f8PrvtSKAijI71y4gNfF3cxNnpd5HQ43luRt02XO31zcOvhMgt3ovEoCcrzHjUIHYzEgZFg/w640-h500/Raymond-Griffith-Youd-Be-Surprised-MoMA01.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">photo credit:&nbsp; Museum of Modern Art Film Stills</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>You'd be Surprised</i> (1926) is a typical murder mystery set in a mansion. Raymond Griffith plays an overly dressed coroner who is called to investigate the murder of a district attorney. Like Paths to Paradise, this story is centered around a stolen necklace. Griffith's leading lady Dorothy Sebastian plays the district attorney's ward and she's the prime suspect of the murder. Griffith's character barely examines the body of the murder victim. Instead, he takes over the investigation when the bumbling cops can't seem to do their job. All of the action takes place in the living room of the mansion.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">Unlike <i>Paths to Paradise</i>, You'd be Surprised is intact with all seven reels presented. This is the weaker of the two. Because it's so constrained and because the coroner character is constantly trying to do several things at once, it becomes overwhelming but not in a funny way. However, with that said it is fun to see Raymond Griffith in all his silk hat and tuxedo glory. All of the dinner guests are dressed to the nines which showcase the finer apparel of the era. Anyone into fashion history, specifically the 1920s, will want to check this one out for the eye candy.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPq5j_F-L12rUk1bR95B7Cp6Vy77w0H4LqxCW4XSV0SyJhCXOdpMVEQMayLAIBmU1TBCisj_iKwegJcKkbZEeKxsqgR8NT7Xwf5tCLqBKuHFBnZQ0Mgg5CvlWAnlL97znkQJ3VG0yaCQ90WvRlXWjkWGe7Bcaoh52NAtQ1jjdcbgnZLbFheOa6OxVoUSw/s1800/Raymond-Griffith-Silk-Hat-Comedian_Blu-ray_FRONT.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1532" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPq5j_F-L12rUk1bR95B7Cp6Vy77w0H4LqxCW4XSV0SyJhCXOdpMVEQMayLAIBmU1TBCisj_iKwegJcKkbZEeKxsqgR8NT7Xwf5tCLqBKuHFBnZQ0Mgg5CvlWAnlL97znkQJ3VG0yaCQ90WvRlXWjkWGe7Bcaoh52NAtQ1jjdcbgnZLbFheOa6OxVoUSw/w544-h640/Raymond-Griffith-Silk-Hat-Comedian_Blu-ray_FRONT.png" width="544" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/40BMAOC" target="_blank">Amazon</a> — <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-raymond-griffith/1144193002?ean=0745808099817" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a> — <a href="https://www.pntrac.com/t/TEFNSUVHQUVESElGREFFRERJSUY?sid=104520&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepdiscount.com%2Fraymond-griffith-the-silk-hat-comedian%2F745808099817" target="_blank">Deep Discount </a>— <a href="https://undercrankproductions.com/raymond-griffith/" target="_blank">Undercrank Productions</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i><br /></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><i>Raymond Griffith: The Silk Hat Comedian</i></b> Blu-ray contains the double feature as well as a twelve minute video essay about Raymond Griffith's life and career and narrated by film historian Steve Massa.

Dupont, <i>Piccadilly</i> (1929) stars Anna May Wong as Sosho, a beautiful young woman who works as a dishwasher at the Piccadilly nightclub in London. Piccadilly is run by Valentine Wilmot (Jameson Thomas), a man as keen on making his business a success as he is seducing his leading lady. He's fallen for his star talent Mabel (Gilda Gray), a dancer who, along with her dancing partner Vic (Cyril Ritchard), entertains Valentine's eager crowd. Mabel is caught in a love triangle between Valentine and Vic. Valentine gets rid of the competition by firing the dancer and making Mabel dance solo. But now that Mabel is no longer forbidden fruit, Valentine completely loses interest. He turns his attention to Sosho (Wong). He spots her dancing on a table in the dishwashing room and fires her for goofing off. However, he soon re-hires her as an exotic dancer. Sosho comes to realize that the power dynamic in their working relationship has shifted. She's in control. Sosho takes great care to seduce Valentine, to get him to spend money on an elaborate costume for her and to hire her boyfriend Jim (King Hou Chang) as a musician. Mabel, however, is not about to let another woman steal her spotlight and steal her man. A new and even messier love triangle emerges and quickly starts to spiral out of control.</p><p><i>Piccadilly </i>was released at a pivotal point in Anna May Wong's career and the film industry as a whole. Wong was frustrated with the lack of opportunities in Hollywood and by the time she had been cast in <i>Piccadilly</i> she was exclusively making films in the UK and Germany. Anti-miscegenation laws in the US prevented her as an Asian-American actresses from getting leading lady roles. In this British production, while she's not top billed, she is a central figure and carries on an affair with a white man.&nbsp;</p><p>As talking pictures became increasingly more popular, silent films like <i>Piccadilly </i>were on their way out. There was a lot of pressure in the industry to retrofit silent films with talking sequences in order to capitalize on the craze. They added a five minute all-talking prologue to <i>Piccadilly</i> which sets up the movie as a flashback. It features Jameson Thomas as Valentine Wilmot, now running a beer shack after the scandal ruined his career. His conversation with a customer sets up the story to follow. It's incredibly boring and stilted and adds nothing to the story. Lucky for us, <i>Piccadilly</i> is still shown to modern viewers in its original form with the talkie add-on as an bonus feature.</p><p><i>Piccadilly</i> was successful enough to serve as a springboard for Anna May Wong to return to her Hollywood roots. It helped her get a contract with Paramount studios which lead to her best-known role opposite Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's <i>Shanghai Express</i> (1932). Wong is so dynamic in&nbsp;</p><p>I enjoy <i>Piccadilly</i> mostly for Anna May Wong's performance. She’s so dynamic and enchanting in this film. I'm intrigued by how her character Sosho recognizes her worth and her power because this mirrors Anna May Wong in real life. She knew she had what it takes to make it as an actress and really leveraged that as best she could even though she lost out on so many opportunities because she was Chinese-American.&nbsp;</p><p>The dance numbers in this aren’t great. Gilda Gray’s dance numbers really show that she wasn’t much of a dancer. Wong’s dance number is meant to be exotic. The dancing here is not an athletic feat. It’s supposed to titillate and tantalize. Wong draws attention to her body by swaying her hips and using seductive arm movements.</p><p><i>Piccadilly</i> was released last month by Kino Lorber in collaboration with The Milestone Company and the BFI. This Blu-ray includes a beautifully restored and remastered print from the BFI. I love how the restoration really enhances the sepia tones and the blue tint used throughout the film. My only complaint about this edition is the musical score which doesn't really seem to suit the film, especially when it comes to the dance sequences.</p><p>Extras on this disc include the talkie introduction, a documentary on the making of the score, a panel discussion at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival about Anna May Wong. I enjoyed listening to the audio commentary by film historian and critic Farran Smith Nehme who offers a lot of biographical information on the different players involved in <i>Piccadilly</i>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwXGQHXFGo_QfUpkEuvMI6tz7smpU2wXUROf_NsmOk7BKFyvE2gHdMSP1uEjjkQJ3-yaub7WzDia8uhqAOweEXpO4y1jineHVaSUxsI-iAY4H7KLhaTAGONPfU86pFQIQf25G6eLaQV34C3Z8ITSuCurcsoVEoDcMVrzfwgSSCBYx-JIP4uEdNCkW1GI/s1500/Piccadilly_BR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpwXGQHXFGo_QfUpkEuvMI6tz7smpU2wXUROf_NsmOk7BKFyvE2gHdMSP1uEjjkQJ3-yaub7WzDia8uhqAOweEXpO4y1jineHVaSUxsI-iAY4H7KLhaTAGONPfU86pFQIQf25G6eLaQV34C3Z8ITSuCurcsoVEoDcMVrzfwgSSCBYx-JIP4uEdNCkW1GI/w530-h640/Piccadilly_BR.jpg" width="530" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>Piccadilly</i></b> <b>(1929) is available wherever Kino Lorber Blu-rays are sold.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3R1MQn7" target="_blank">Amazon</a> — <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-piccadilly-gilda-gray/3922099?ean=0738329263942" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a> — <a href="https://www.pntrs.com/t/TEFNSUVHQUVESElGREFFRERJSUY?sid=104520&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deepdiscount.com%2Fpiccadilly%2F738329263942" target="_blank">Deep Discount</a> — <a href="https://kinolorber.com/product/piccadilly" target="_blank">Kino Lorber</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I share more thoughts about the film and the Blu-ray on <a href="https://youtu.be/jM1Te_S3aQU?si=eJrLXwk8rBMnqoVk" target="_blank">episode #3 </a>of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmMfby3lBL4&amp;list=PLg9mLebnWM0LJyHe1TL9zbR8XV4iy-_uu&amp;index=3" target="_blank">The Classic Movie Roundup</a> on YouTube.

The naturalism of talking pictures diminished them. If the star system was to survive, the studios would have to enlarge them again. Along came Hurrell, who adapted his technique to this purpose…. In the process, Hurrell perfected a photographic idiom: the Hollywood glamour portrait."</i> — Mark A. Vieira</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A George Hurrell portrait is something truly special. Some of the best photographs of movie stars from the golden age of Hollywood—Norma Shearer, Clark Gable, Joan Crawford, Ramon Novarro, Jean Harlow, Robert Montgomery, Carole Lombard, Mae West—were shot by George Hurrell. He captured the glamour of the industry in its heyday and showcased his subjects at their very best. These dreamy, sexy portraits helped elevate the subject in the public's esteem. In many cases, a Hurrell portrait, often used to publicize a new film, transformed careers. For example, an important photo shoot with Norma Shearer helped the actress convince her husband, producer Irving Thalberg, to cast her in <i>The Divorcee </i>(1930) ushering her into a new phase in her career. Hurrell's photoshoot with Jane Russell for Howard Hughes' pet project <i>The Outlaw </i>(1943) catapulted Russell into fame well before the film was even released to the public. George Hurrell worked with MGM and Warner Bros. and as an independent contractor worked directly with stars or did freelance for other studios like Columbia and RKO.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Once the studio system began to wane and glamour portraits fell out of fashion, Hurrell struggled to find steady work. Times were changing and so was the technology used in photography. Hurrell's work suddenly became old-fashioned. However, towards the end of Hurrell's life, a new appreciation of his early work led collectors and other photographers to gather and share his work. Hurrell enjoyed a legacy tour which saw his portraits in books and in traveling museum exhibitions. Throughout the '80s, Hurrell was photographing new talent—musicians, comedians, actors—in an era that was far cry from the one he started in during the 1920s. Hurrell worked up until he died in 1992 with his final celebrity subject being actress Sharon Stone.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYq_hZXSy4FQM1haRo-b6nWBdxLbidJ7pByp_9Pd0JzcR2Oj52R4-S0gGwCy-ayIJoccxy2PQQ1iB5T0mt4BZpa3pvZ95LQr3aoSNGCE9oIQEXgiGJf2nNXCLU0bK6mqE0WqBVe2-AlpPr8FmYt5O6-d2gvDdvA3bvv-o8RJfygM-Xkypatir9ufgWQQY/s735/Norma.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="586" data-original-width="735" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYq_hZXSy4FQM1haRo-b6nWBdxLbidJ7pByp_9Pd0JzcR2Oj52R4-S0gGwCy-ayIJoccxy2PQQ1iB5T0mt4BZpa3pvZ95LQr3aoSNGCE9oIQEXgiGJf2nNXCLU0bK6mqE0WqBVe2-AlpPr8FmYt5O6-d2gvDdvA3bvv-o8RJfygM-Xkypatir9ufgWQQY/w640-h510/Norma.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGtrHRwgjaS-JDUC4FB5MN1joE-tAdtVOkfHXFfzsiVNtE6XHI-ayF19LrgfTtBps1Wf_SmTFio9wfPMZPVHSGfY-f0mKtHcVakl4AR4vJz8jl_ryGrikp4OcLRwlJMENlJsfyNOq8DwxdndMWNysN4tWazWsfxd3d9_OPf7rn-x-oCcuMayZPViRgOA/s1254/Jane_Russell_in_The_Outlaw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1254" height="522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUGtrHRwgjaS-JDUC4FB5MN1joE-tAdtVOkfHXFfzsiVNtE6XHI-ayF19LrgfTtBps1Wf_SmTFio9wfPMZPVHSGfY-f0mKtHcVakl4AR4vJz8jl_ryGrikp4OcLRwlJMENlJsfyNOq8DwxdndMWNysN4tWazWsfxd3d9_OPf7rn-x-oCcuMayZPViRgOA/w640-h522/Jane_Russell_in_The_Outlaw.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rW7tgt8OsT2AgLCcNhTiwPgX7oHVOSZBD4SH6O8Pe48j1J8WGQ5S7E8GGHvt6tsuVn-DD9rcsmTI9rgY9QyxgamKAsgIfCUaPtwfThBgyQXIPBHmkZbIL5qi4QXeldxIcXoJZ10n-R0n_XYzKLfidChg9_Eh9wJLODIacXvQuEFYjgeM4gXriVPtObk/s715/lark.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4rW7tgt8OsT2AgLCcNhTiwPgX7oHVOSZBD4SH6O8Pe48j1J8WGQ5S7E8GGHvt6tsuVn-DD9rcsmTI9rgY9QyxgamKAsgIfCUaPtwfThBgyQXIPBHmkZbIL5qi4QXeldxIcXoJZ10n-R0n_XYzKLfidChg9_Eh9wJLODIacXvQuEFYjgeM4gXriVPtObk/w538-h640/lark.jpeg" width="538" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><i>George Hurrell's Hollywood: Glamour Portraits 1925-1992</i> by Mark A. Vieira is a fitting tribute to an artistic genius. This book was originally published in 1997 as Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits and then republished as George Hurrell's Hollywood in 2013. Running Press has released a revised and expanded paperback edition which includes 50% more photographs than the 2013 hardcover. Also Mark A. Vieira, a film historian and photographer who first met George Hurrell in 1975, restored every photograph found within the new edition. If you haven't gotten the book yet, please make sure you get the paperback. And if you have the hardcover, now is the time to upgrade!</div><div><br /></div><div>This book is absolutely stunning. The photographs are presented at their best and many take up an entire page. Joan Crawford fans will be particularly interested because she was Hurrell's most photographed subject—they did 33 photoshoots together—and lots of those photos are found within. It's a sturdy paperback and while it is on the heavier size I found that it holds quite well. Because the spine and the signatures are one big block, this is one of the few photography books that I think could stand up on a shelf without the heavy pages pulling from the spine.</div><div><br /></div><div>In reading the book, I was particularly interested in learning how Hurrell built his network of contacts, how he worked within the studio system and the techniques he developed to showcase his subjects at their best. While there is a bit of biographical information on Hurrell in order to place the timeline in context, the focus of the book is really his career.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><blockquote><i>“You can’t work with a person and be exactly cold-blooded because there’s got to be a rapport, there’s got to be that quality, that something that rings between the two of you. If it doesn’t, well, you might as well quit and go home.”</i>&nbsp;— George Hurrell</blockquote></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Some interesting facts from the book:&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Hurrell advanced his career through connections. A photo shoot with a wealthy socialite led him to meet Ramon Novarro who introduced him to Norma Shearer which led to a contract as a studio photographer at MGM.</li><li>Hurrell mostly shot in black-and-white but also photographed in Kodachrome and Warner Color.</li><li>He shined a spotlight on the part of the hair. “The placement of the boom light so that it shone down from behind, or down the part in the subject’s hair, on onto the cheekbones”</li><li>This had the effect of giving the subject's face a lot of dimension. In retouching, he would add a tiny dot in order to make the eyes pop more and liven the face in the final portrait.</li><li>Used the color white to great effect. Actresses wore white dresses. Subjects would be photographed against a white wall.</li><li>He would play music and use sexy talk to get his female subjects in the mood.

It's not even horror. Instead, <i>El vampiro negro/The Black Vampire</i> (1953) is a brilliant Argentine film noir adaptation of Fritz Lang's <i>M</i> (1931). It takes the original story of a whistling serial killer who roams the streets looking for young girls to kill and adds some new characters—most notably some interesting female characters—and transports the viewer to 1950s Buenos Aires, Argentina.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Directed by Román Viñoly Barreto, <i>El vampiro negro </i>stars Olga Zubarry as Amalia, a beautiful cabaret singer and single mom who works hard to keep her daughter in boarding school. One night Amalia witnesses a mysterious man dump the body of a young girl. The man in question is Teodoro (Nathán Pinzón)—an English professor by day and a deranged serial killer by night. Teodoro feels isolated by society and has never had a relationship with a woman.. He pays Amalia's friend Cora (Nelly Panizza) for the opportunity to visit her without any sort of sexual touch. In return, Cora takes his money and humiliates him for her own enjoyment. Teodoro takes out his sexual frustrations by stalking for new prey. It's suggested that he's only attracted to adult women and that he seeks out young girls solely because they're easy prey to kill.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other prominent male figure in the story, Dr. Bernard (Roberto Escalada), is investigating the case of the serial killer dubbed "the black vampire." Bernard seeks out Amalia for information about what she saw that fateful night. Dr. Bernard and Teodoro are not very different from each other. Like Teodoro, Dr. Bernard is sexually frustrated and while devoted to his invalid wife he seeks an affair with Amalia who rejects him. Both men channel their frustrations on either side of the law. As Teodoro continues to kill, the community is both terrorized and brought to action to capture "the black vampire."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>El vampiro negro/The Black Vampire </i>(1953) is a thrilling film noir. It comes out of the golden age of Argentine cinema and is clearly influenced not only by early German cinema but also American film noir. The story is told in one long flashback sequence and employs many other film noir elements including its use of light and shadow, most notably in the sequences where the killer is being chased through the sewers. The film explores themes of isolation and humiliation as well as social responsibility and the importance of community. While it has the same framework as <i>M</i> (1931), it's a loose adaptation with plenty of new elements that make it seem more like an original story.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Olga Zubarry really carries the movie as the story's main protagonist. While her performance was at times a bit over the top, Zubarry's character Amalia is the emotional core of the film and she adeptly guides us through the story and always keeps us aware of what is truly at stake. I was most captivated by Nathán Pinzón who is a dead ringer for Peter Lorre who was in the original film. He has the same wide set eyes and a countenance that expresses sadness with a hint of danger. According to film historian Fernando Martin Peña, Pinzón was a great admired Lorre and modeled his own acting style after him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mgIW9kLYLv0?si=vtxlesJjnXOvvR-V" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>El vampiro negro</i> (1953) is available in a beautiful Blu-ray and DVD deluxe set from Flicker Alley.

The story a two-fold mystery with hardboiled detective Kitty Feral solving the case of the stolen chocolate covered Marshmallow Monkey while also trying to locate his missing partner, Mitch the Mutt. We follow along as Kitty Feral roams the dark city streets searching for answers.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Published by by TCM and Running Press Kids, <i>Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey</i> is a delightful ode to film noir and a must-have for noir enthusiasts, especially those who want to instill a love of classic movies in their children.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The book is chock full of film noir references. The endpapers display animal-inspired noir posters for movies like Nut Crazy, He Squawked by Night and The Possum Always Rings Twice. Kitty Feral visits the Acme Book Shop—a hat-tip to the famous bookstore sequence in The Big Sleep (1946). I spotted references to noirs like Deadline at Dawn (1946), On Dangerous Ground (1951) and I Walk Alone (1947) and to actors like Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Gloria Grahame and Dorothy Malone. There are even references to non-noir classics like The Leopard Man (1943) and On the Waterfront (1954). Visual clues make this book a veritable treasure hunt for children (the villains are referenced on almost every page) as well as adult noir enthusiasts.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The style of the book is very fitting with film noir aesthetics. It features a limited color palette of black-and-white with pops of color. Kitty Feral wears a blue fedora and trenchcoat, Mitch the Mutt wears a red collar and the two are seen enjoying the multi-colored sunrise, signaling the end of the story's nighttime adventure.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qNjgxqA31H_2FG_KQFedAp_bFFkbURWdE7IUE7f0wa9bRVUm06hf4tmMI0eewtZMFyNBDeFQ7xdQ2Cc8RludHR1qZUmm5nNRz3X08tXUtL_tdbWlwPAdcvw7Kh0byP2W81qhVV1STrsbdexMt1FrMkI_DiUuMQtc0H49CinOOB9ANtnz6iDnN3RpVFc/s1000/KittyFeral1.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1000" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6qNjgxqA31H_2FG_KQFedAp_bFFkbURWdE7IUE7f0wa9bRVUm06hf4tmMI0eewtZMFyNBDeFQ7xdQ2Cc8RludHR1qZUmm5nNRz3X08tXUtL_tdbWlwPAdcvw7Kh0byP2W81qhVV1STrsbdexMt1FrMkI_DiUuMQtc0H49CinOOB9ANtnz6iDnN3RpVFc/w640-h252/KittyFeral1.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Interior spread courtesy of Running Press Kids via Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapRqUPVJTkKoApt_3qvHhDSp8UQx8ONXjLGpdXqGms-S_JiTrCnfZ5tJ9O7bDCYARHKlShBeyAWaRYS3oNbUtXVkn65JyuV159E5NrMOnFvXAeskl9Og3pDmtlarEs_Ea8j_LduFFy4vJTmOrXmgtQKcgjx_PQOpKhMDKKHRnnLkbhX05fWFjVbjt6yk/s1000/KittyFeral2.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="393" data-original-width="1000" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapRqUPVJTkKoApt_3qvHhDSp8UQx8ONXjLGpdXqGms-S_JiTrCnfZ5tJ9O7bDCYARHKlShBeyAWaRYS3oNbUtXVkn65JyuV159E5NrMOnFvXAeskl9Og3pDmtlarEs_Ea8j_LduFFy4vJTmOrXmgtQKcgjx_PQOpKhMDKKHRnnLkbhX05fWFjVbjt6yk/w640-h252/KittyFeral2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Interior spread courtesy of Running Press Kids via Edelweiss</i></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The backmatter includes a single page entitled What is Film Noir which gives young readers the fundamentals of understanding noir.

I do wish the narrative flowed a bit better. There are a couple of awkward points in the narrative that could have easily been fixed. A design error on page 25 obscures one moment of dialogue. With that said, I read this book several times out loud and found that experience quite enjoyable.&nbsp;This book would make for a great bedtime story or read aloud for a group storytime. You'll want to develop character voices for Kitty Feral (who is also the narrator), Casper the Nighthawk, Polly the Bookstore Guard Dog, Mitch the Mutt and Lucky Lapin the mob bunny.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>I hope Kitty Feral is the first of a series.

The book is organized into several chapters each focusing on a different movie studio: Universal, Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM, Columbia and RKO. These chapters are book-ended by an introduction and wrap-up. Each section chronicles the history of the studio, the work of their costume designers, the professional relationship between designer and star and whether or not the studio made any efforts to preserve their costume collections. The focus here is solely on women's costumes. The book contains various black-and-white publicity photos of actresses in notable costumes and a handful of photos of the designers themselves. There is also a small insert of full-color design sketches. The author also describes individual costumes to help with visualization where photos are not available. While this was not intended to be a coffee table book, the larger format and eye-catching cover design does make it a beautiful book to keep on display.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While <i>Designing Hollywood </i>was well-researched and informative, it suffers from an awkward format, limited context and little to no extrapolation. There is little discussion about the impact these costume designers had on the film industry and there only brief mentions of their influence on the general public and on the fashion industry as a whole. The narrative has little flow and lacked any real insight or takeaways that would have made for a richer experience for the reader. Some chapters are better than others. I preferred the Paramount, MGM, RKO and Warner Bros. chapters over those on Universal, Fox and Columbia.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">In my opinion, the book should have focused on the careers of the individual costume designers rather than the studios. Chapters on Irene, Edith Head, Orry-Kelly, Adrian, Mary Ann Nyberg, Walter Plunkett, etc. would have read been more engaging and still could have maintained the studio-era theme.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Because the book chapters are organized by studio, the overall timeline feels disjointed. For example, costume designer Irene's work for Universal Studios is detailed at length in the first chapter. At one point the author quickly changes from Irene's career to her tragic death without any transition. “Irene designed Day’s costumes for this film… on November 15, 1962, Irene slit her wrist and jumped out of a window at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood.” In chapter six on MGM, Irene is introduced again: "Irene was born Irene Lentz on December 15, 1901, in South Dakota." It feels odd to read about her death in chapter one only to have her come to life again in chapter six.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I did notice a few errors in the book. The author writes:&nbsp;“Ann Dvorak (pronounced vor-shack) had also starred in Scarface in the same year but here gave her finest performance as a woman on a downward spiral." Except that's not how its pronounced in this instance. Rather it's&nbsp;d-voh-rAHk. There is also a mention of the TCM Classic Film Festival but it reads that TCM sponsors the festival and not that they host it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">While <i>Designing Hollywood </i>has plenty of interesting information about studio-era costume design, it reads too much like a standard reference book to be engaging.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE1kK58giqReARZGgPhGTj6iENIv8CkBEPbhva1D0ax6hk0-NMrjTrT89ky5Wj5_2QhZKAliJAl5_z5erpo7WK8wBluCmHo8NzcbxN--gBdV1Madz8Bkfj8599wUiryDprTVY6ArAWS5fyTMUlJpoeE5TiVEN1f28re1fClE9xmvm-a4NOm2JasW02/s400/2023%20reading%20challenge%20small.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE1kK58giqReARZGgPhGTj6iENIv8CkBEPbhva1D0ax6hk0-NMrjTrT89ky5Wj5_2QhZKAliJAl5_z5erpo7WK8wBluCmHo8NzcbxN--gBdV1Madz8Bkfj8599wUiryDprTVY6ArAWS5fyTMUlJpoeE5TiVEN1f28re1fClE9xmvm-a4NOm2JasW02/s320/2023%20reading%20challenge%20small.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is my fourth and final review for the <a href="https://www.outofthepastblog.com/p/summer-reading-classic-film-book.html" target="_blank">2023 Classic Film Reading Challenge</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Thank you to University Press of Kentucky for sending me a copy of Designing Hollywood for review.</i></div><p></p> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><i><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b></b></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div></i></b></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">All content is property of Out of the Past: A Classic Film Blog.

In a time when there were limited roles for women except for being an actress or writer, Lupino managed not only take on both roles but to also add director, producer and businesswoman to her list. To modern age audiences she's a feminist icon. But in reality Ida Lupino was a walking contradiction. Even as a pioneer female filmmaker who was fiercely independent she held onto traditional values when it came to gender roles. She leveraged her fame to advance her career but also advocated for her privacy. Some regarded her as a warm person and others pointed out her iciness. Lupino was not about to be pigeonholed into a single category of any kind. She was a complex person and unapologetically herself.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Originally published in 1997, William Donati's book <b><i>Ida Lupino: A Biography</i></b> chronicles the life of an actress-filmmaker who lived her entire life in show business. The book was originally meant to be Lupino's autobiography written with the help of Donati. But the project stalled and when Lupino died in 1995 Donati moved forward with a more traditional biography. The book was recently reissued this year by the University Press of Kentucky but I haven't been able to confirm if any notable changes were made to the original text.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The book begins with Ida Lupino's formative years as a member of the Lupino showbiz family, her close bonds with her father Stanley and mother Connie, her move from the UK to Hollywood to pursue a career as a film actress and her early days a Paramount contract star playing ingenue roles and her bout with polio. We learn about her friendship with Thelma Todd and the events of that fateful night when Todd mysteriously died (the author had also written a book about Todd). Then there were Ida Lupino's marriages to actor Louis Hayward, writer and filmmaker Collier Young and her particularly tumultuous relationship with Howard Duff which are all discussed at length. The author offers only brief glimpses into Lupino's mental health struggles and her fraught relationship with her daughter Bridget Duff. Almost every film that Lupino acted in and a majority of her television work is discussed. Her work with The Filmakers—the production company she started with her husband Collier Young— and the more involved projects she made while at Warner Bros. get the most coverage.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Some interesting facts I learned from the book:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Lupino was such a perfectionist that she often drove herself to exhaustion, illness and/or injury.</li><li>She greatly admired anyone who took the business seriously and preferred to work with people were as driven as she was.</li><li>Producer Mark hellinger stepped in to vouch for Lupino so she would get cast in the film <b>They Drive by Night (1940)</b>. That film as well as <b>High Sierra (1941)</b> became breakout roles for both Ida Lupino and her co-star Humphrey Bogart.</li><li>Ann Sheridan and Lupino often got the same types of roles and replaced each other in different projects. For example, when Lupino turned down a role in <b>King's Row (1942)</b>, it went to Ann Sheridan.</li><li>When Jack Warner offered her a 7 year contract he told her she'd be another Bette Davis for Warner Bros.</li><li>To prepare for <b>Moontide (1942)</b>, Lupino took French actor Jean Gabin on a tour of the seedier parts of Los Angeles for a "first-hand look at vice and violence."</li><li><b>The Hard Way (1943)</b> and <b>Devotion (1946) </b>were two of Lupino's most challenging productions due to complications with the studio, WWII and Stanley Lupino's death from cancer.</li><li>Agent Charles K. Feldman sought Lupino as a client and even bought the rights to <b>Road House (1948) </b>and sold them to Twentieth Century Fox with the stipulation that Lupino be cast in the lead.</li><li>Lupino enjoyed working with The Breen Office and welcomed their changes which she didn't view as censorship but rather as improvements.</li><li>For her hard-hitting drama <b>Not Wanted (1949)</b>, which she produced and eventually directed, she couldn't use the title "Unwed Mother" because it was too salacious. But the restrictions did not apply to marketing materials so she plastered UNWED MOTHER in bold type in various newspaper ads to promote the movie.</li><li>She fostered new talent by casting Sally Forrest and Keefe Braselle in <b>Not Wanted (1949)</b> and <b>Never Fear (1950)</b>.</li><li>Lupino and Young struck a deal with Howard Hughes to partner on three films between RKO and The Filmakers production company. Lupino was one of the few executives Hughes would actually agree to meet with directly.&nbsp;</li><li>While the Motion Picture Association objected to the making of <b>The Hitch-Hiker (1953)</b>, Lupino and The Filmakers went ahead with the production. Lupino had already gotten permission from prisoner Billy Cook and the two men he kidnapped. Their story was the basis of the movie.</li><li>Many of us know that <b>The Bigamist (1953)</b> had Lupino starring and directing in a film that also included her ex-husband Collier Young and his new wife Joan Fontaine. While that seems like it would have been an uncomfortable situation, Lupino and her third husband Duff were friendly with Young and Fontaine and the couples often spent time with each other.</li><li>According to the author, "with <b>The Bigamist</b>, Ida Lupino became the first woman to direct herself in a major motion picture."</li><li>Lupino was quick to adapt and in the early 1950s that meant transitioning to television. She insisted that her husband Howard Duff be her co-star in the TV sitcom <b>Mr. Adams and Eve</b>. The story idea was developed by her ex-husband Collier Young.</li><li>Producer William Frye personally chose Ida Lupino to direct which would be her last production <b>The Trouble with Angels (1966)</b>. They originally wanted to cast Greta Garbo but couldn't get her out of retirement and was replaced by Rosalind Russell.</li><li>I love this quote from Rosalind Russell about Lupino:&nbsp;"The sex of a director doesn't mean a hoot. The one all-important thing is talent. Somehow it has evolved that directing is a man's profession. A woman has a tough, almost impossible time breaking down this caste barrier. Miss Arzner managed it. Ida is doing it now."</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This biography suffers from inherent bias which was to be expected considering the book began its life as Lupino's autobiography. It's clear that the author very much admires and respects his subject. Lupino is treated with reverence but some of the more superfluous language feels cloying. However, the author does not shy away from exploring Lupino's self-destructive behavior, her contradictions and her co-dependent relationships with men. I was frustrated with some of the outdated language used and wondered if in this new edition some of that could have been edited out.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Ida Lupino: A Biography by William Donati </i></b>is a mixed bag. While it offers the reader plenty of interesting information and a cohesive outline of Lupino's extraordinary career, it's plagued by some odd choices in narrative. I would recommend this anyone who is interested in learning more about Lupino. It's a good starting point it covers a lot of territory in just under 300 reading pages. Some of the more personal aspects of Lupino's life probably wouldn't have been revealed had it not been for the author's friendship with Lupino. There are some insights here that the reader might not find elsewhere that definitely add value to the text overall.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXHjJGbsuIJA1Uizkli72T9yRbPSIr8V0EaZfDasmTrKKVANmCT5nZQawW5O6DyiTQWfBhxEAhYpo0gc3TsG7GkvWPlCrIinZqk99lrPQblwBhdo8Jw7DNj67Ey-72cxYM7XlgF_5AZg8pCmN0U532-ZFqzPHQw1D8DEy-J6M0T7LfyagWUZvJ0IKUkow/s1080/2023%20reading%20challenge%20small.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXHjJGbsuIJA1Uizkli72T9yRbPSIr8V0EaZfDasmTrKKVANmCT5nZQawW5O6DyiTQWfBhxEAhYpo0gc3TsG7GkvWPlCrIinZqk99lrPQblwBhdo8Jw7DNj67Ey-72cxYM7XlgF_5AZg8pCmN0U532-ZFqzPHQw1D8DEy-J6M0T7LfyagWUZvJ0IKUkow/s320/2023%20reading%20challenge%20small.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is my third book review for my <a href="https://www.outofthepastblog.com/p/summer-reading-classic-film-book.html" target="_blank">Classic Film Reading Challenge</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i>Thank you to the University Press of Kentucky for sending me a digital copy for review.

What is a Soundie you may be asking? The Soundie was a precursor to the music video. These bite-sized musical short films were the length of a song and featured performers singing, dancing and even acting out skits. Soundies were produced specifically to be played in a Panoram, a coin-operated jukebox with a small screen. These short musicals made on low budgets with up-and-coming talent and highlighted contemporary trends in pop culture. They gained momentum especially during WWII and eventually petered out after the war was over. To me each Soundie is a little window into a bygone era.&nbsp;</p><div>Kino Studio Classics has blessed the public with the release of Soundies: The Ultimate Collection, a four disc Blu-ray set includes 200 Soundies as well as numerous introductions by curator Susan Delson, Media Conservationist Ina Archer as well as interviews with Soundies experts Matt Barton and Mark Cantor. A booklet inside includes essays as well as an extensive list of themes and individual Soundies in order of appearance. This list proved especially helpful to keep track.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Each disc features 6 themed with 8 Soundies each. The themes vary and an introduction helps put them into context. Themes include: trending song and dance forms, the WWII homefront, sexuality and subversiveness, urban and rural culture, Latin, Asian and African-American styles as well as a four-part Straight from the Panoram series which plays 8 different Soundies as they would be shown on a real Panoram.</div><div><br /></div><div>My personal favorites from the set include: Swing for Sale, Hot Chocolate, Got a Penny for Benny, G.I Jive, Frim Fram Sauce, Four or Five Times, Paper Doll, He's a Latin from Manhattan, Time Takes Care of Everything and Ta Ha WaHhu Wa.</div><div><br /></div><div>There is so much energy and vivacity in these Soundies that it seems a shame to watch them sitting down. I highly recommend getting up and dancing to the beat. A much more enjoyable way to experience these Soundies.</div><div><br /></div><div>This set is an absolute winner. I love the packaging and design, the number of diverse selection, and the introductions that helped provided historical and cultural context. The Soundies themselves are of mixed quality depending on their source material but overall they look really fantastic on Blu-ray. I do wish the intros and interviews were a bit more higher quality in presentation. Otherwise I think this is an outstanding Blu-ray set and would make the perfect gift for a classic movie fan.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm thrilled to have interviewed the series curator Susan Delson.

It’s a film study and biography of a little-known director whose career crossed over from silent film to sound. Murphy had an adventurous career—from Ballet mécanique to The Emperor Jones—and closed out his Hollywood years by making ten Soundies in 1941.</p><p>I started by screening Murphy’s Soundies at the Library of Congress—there weren’t many on YouTube at that point. Then I discovered the breadth of the LC’s Soundies holdings, which are vast. And I was hooked.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Raquel Stecher:&nbsp;</b>It's clear that a lot of thought was put into curating the collection of soundies into different categories for this blu-ray collection. Can you tell me a bit about how each program was curated and what you hope viewers will pay special attention to?</p><p><b>Susan Delson:&nbsp;</b>I spent years screening and researching Soundies before I began writing my book, <i><a href="https://amzn.to/45Fg4N0" target="_blank">Soundies and the Changing Image of Black Americans on Screen: One Dime at a Time</a></i>. I’d been a film programmer in the past, and right from the start, potential program themes were part of my Soundies thinking. I figured I’d present these films eventually, one way or another.</p><p>As I started programming the Kino Lorber set, I knew that I wanted to explore the full scope of the history embedded in the films—American history, African American history, entertainment history, and especially the change-making undercurrents in the culture back then. Soundies are a terrific way of getting into all of that—and at the same time, a lot of fun.</p><p>Each of the four [Blu-rays] in the set has its own theme, and those took shape pretty quickly: Introducing Soundies, Life in the Soundies Era, Musical Evolutions, and Women, Sexuality, and Gender.</p><p>There are six eight-film programs on each [Blu-ray], and all of them explore a different aspect of that disc’s theme. Except for the last program on each disc, called “Straight from the Panoram.” With those, I re-created an eight-film reel exactly as the Soundies Corporation released it back then—a program from a different year on each disc.</p><p>In response to your question, what I hope viewers will pay attention to is probably all of the above—the history, the cultural undercurrents, and above all, the fun. I also hope they discover lots of terrific performers they hadn’t known about. For me, that was one of the most exciting things about the whole project.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oQoRlrawbo4?si=dELKPcq9ZQl7a2Bu" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Raquel Stecher:&nbsp;</b>I was particularly interested in the Soundies programs that reflected different aspects of American life during WWII. How do these Soundies give viewers a window into the culture of that era?</p><p><b>Susan Delson:&nbsp;</b>There’s an immediacy to Soundies’ depiction of home-front life that you don’t generally get in Hollywood movies of that era. There’s nothing quite like Louis Jordan making sly double-entendres in Ration Blues to give you a sense of what living with wartime rationing might have been like. Or the Pretty Priorities (what a name!) doing a joking, patriotic strip tease to support scrap drives for the war effort in Take It Off.</p><p>In many films, there’s a creative, playful attention to personal style—this was the zoot suit era, after all. There’s a focus on dance, too, which makes sense when you realize that in the 1940s everyone danced, whether it was the foxtrot, the samba, or the jitterbug. There are some Soundies, like Hot Chocolate (“Cottontail”) or Swing for Sale, that people might have watched over and over just to pick up some new dance moves.&nbsp;</p><p>The company behind Soundies—the Soundies Distributing Corporation of America— released a new eight-film reel every week. That’s over 400 films a year. They had to keep pace with popular culture, if only to keep the product flowing. The films had to be made quickly and cheaply. And with little or no time for rehearsal, let alone directorial vision, performers often had a lot of say in how they presented themselves on screen—much more than they might have had in Hollywood. With Soundies, you get a street-level, pop-culture perspective that you don’t get in mainstream media of the day.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Raquel Stecher:&nbsp;</b>The blu-ray set features a diverse mix of Soundies with Black, Asian and Latino performers. I was particularly delighted to see Soundies featuring Dorothy Dandridge, the Mills Brothers, Ricardo Montalban, Nat King Cole and more. Can you talk a bit about why this was important and what you believe are some of the highlights of the collection?</p><p><b>Susan Delson:&nbsp;</b>The diversity you’re talking about is really important. It’s what distinguishes Soundies from most of 1940s popular culture, and I’d say it’s the main concept behind the whole Kino Lorber set.</p><p>As you can see in the [Blu-rays], the Soundies Corporation was committed to presenting a diverse array of talent. Not out of idealism or altruism—they were a business and they absolutely wanted to make money. But the Soundies Corporation recognized an underserved audience when they saw one, and they knew there was a market for films that showed, on screen, a more complete view of who we were back then—Black, Latinx, Hawaiian, Asian, Eastern European, and more. There’s so much talent here that doesn’t appear on screen anywhere else during these years.</p><p>Among the highlights, I’d have to start with the first film on disc 1, Duke Ellington’s Jam Session. It’s by far the most popular Soundie online, closing in on 3 million YouTube views (mostly under the title “C Jam Blues,” which is the number the band is playing). Dorothy Dandridge’s Soundies are another highlight—she was 19 when she made them, and she’s absolutely incandescent.</p><p>Then there are the discoveries. The vocal harmony trio Day, Dawn, and Dusk has such a smart, sophisticated take on high culture, on American history, and gender play. We have three of their Soundies in the set, and every one is a gem.</p><p>My colleague Ina Archer, who does some of the on-camera intros in the set, calls another vocal harmony group, the Delta Rhythm Boys, the house band for Soundies. I agree. They really set the style for Soundies produced in New York, and they’re wonderful to watch.</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O8DkU4xRK-g?si=11TvDVKdcvLmg_lS" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><p><b>Raquel Stecher:&nbsp;</b>I have so many favorites from this collection, especially Hot Chocolate, Paper Doll, Frim Fram Sauce, Johnny Zero, etc. What are some of your personal favorites?</p><p><b>Susan Delson:&nbsp;</b>All of the ones you mention are terrific. I also love Along the Navajo Trail, with John Shadrack Horace and Johnny Moore’s 3 Blazers. It’s the only country-western Soundie I came across that stars Black performers, and they’re great. Sticking with country-western, I also love Why Did I Fall for Abner, with Carolina Cotton and Merle Haggard. Everyone looks like they had a terrific time shooting that one—including the all-woman backup band, the Glee Gates Trio with two additional musicians. They’re terrific.</p><p>I also have a soft spot for Soundies that make me laugh, like A Little Jive Is Good for You and Operatin’ Rhythm. And just about all the films on disc 4 that explore women’s sexuality and gender play.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Raquel Stecher:&nbsp;</b>What do you hope viewers will get out of watching Soundies: The Ultimate Collection?</p><p><b>Susan Delson:&nbsp;</b>I hope the films will add some nuance and complexity to our thinking about the World War II years, beyond the “Greatest Generation” gloss. The culture back then was a lot more complicated and contradictory than people might think—emphasis on contradictory—and we see that in the films.</p><p>In my introductory essay in the [Blu-ray] booklet, I write that Soundies speak in multiple voices, and they don’t all say the same thing. For me, that’s a real plus. If there’s one thing I hope viewers take away from Soundies: The Ultimate Collection, it’s that our country is, and long has been, a place of multiple voices, cultures, and peoples.&nbsp;</p><p>With these films, you really get the sense that as a nation, our diversity is our strength. And they make that point in a way that’s fun to watch and listen to. I hope everyone has as much fun with these films as I had in putting the programs together.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwyPtv1kf5gvb4fniT0up9eI8MzTa3nBWgokNavZlA3F8By9tWeMeQoBQN5pHphLLXaQhfa88jZR6tU1SbhFtZGLviTDQlYZRfHWVuXWWMpnIxMIsLpQMYf7C6qQbiX-XPOSk49dRX_mQtkAyy5O9Rwdu-8K9lQLmoHm6c93ZZv-06pE-hQ9yFd4kY9A/s1854/SOUNDIES_blueband.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1854" data-original-width="1512" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNwyPtv1kf5gvb4fniT0up9eI8MzTa3nBWgokNavZlA3F8By9tWeMeQoBQN5pHphLLXaQhfa88jZR6tU1SbhFtZGLviTDQlYZRfHWVuXWWMpnIxMIsLpQMYf7C6qQbiX-XPOSk49dRX_mQtkAyy5O9Rwdu-8K9lQLmoHm6c93ZZv-06pE-hQ9yFd4kY9A/w522-h640/SOUNDIES_blueband.jpg" width="522" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3QRhdN1" target="_blank">Amazon</a> — <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-soundies-the-ultimate-collection/39661186?ean=0738329262303" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a> —<a href="https://www.deepdiscount.com/soundies-the-ultimate-collection/738329262303" target="_blank"> Deep Discount</a> —<a href="https://kinolorber.com/product/soundies-the-ultimate-collection" target="_blank">Kino Lorber</a></p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Soundies: The Ultimate Collection Blu-ray is available from Kino Classics.&nbsp;</b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Thank you to Kino Lorber for sending me a copy for review and to Susan Delson for granting me an interview!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">All content is property of Out of the Past: A Classic Film Blog.

This actress who made waves on stage and on the silent screen is the subject of <b>Gavin Lambert’s 1997 biography, recently reissued in paperback by University Press of Kentucky.</b></p><p>Alla Nazimova was born Mariam Edez Adelaida Leventon in Crimea, Russia in 1879. Nazimova came from a Russian Jewish family and suffered from severe neglect after her parents’ divorce. She sought solace with acting and became part of the Moscow theatrical scene. The author goes into incredible detail about childhood and teen years thanks to Nazimova’s own unfinished autobiography that he used as reference. Towards the end of her life she spent countless hours detailing her origin story but never got to write about what happened after the age of 17. Luckily, she left behind many other details in the form of correspondence and diary entries that the author had access to and references frequently throughout the book.</p><p>What made Nazimova so special as an actress was her stage and screen presence, her ability to play characters much younger than herself, her incredible memory, her attention to detail and her personal and professional networking skills. She was a master at both the technical and social aspects of being an actress. It was natural that Nazimova would make her way to Broadway. Despite her heavy accent which some criticized, Nazimova soon became a star in the New York theatre world.</p><p>Metro Pictures came around with an incredible offer: a contract that would make her one of the highest paid actresses in silent film and give her approval of the director, leading man and the script. The author goes into detail about each of Nazimova’s films. There is a lot of detail for her early Metro Pictures films, including WAR BRIDES (1916), <i>Revelation</i> (1918) and TOYS OF FATE (1918), all of which are unfortunately lost. When Metro Pictures moved to Hollywood, Nazimova followed suit. She made silent films with them until a terrible falling out led her to start her own production company. Now with complete creative control, she produced and starred in films like CAMILLE (1921) and SALOME (1924). By 1925, Nazimova had abandoned films for the New York stage. She returned to Hollywood in the 1940s with small roles in films like ESCAPE (1940) and BLOOD AND SAND (1941). In fact, her final role in SINCE YOU WENT AWAY (1944) was written specifically for her.</p><p>The crux of Lambert’s biography is Nazimova’s relationships with family, lovers and professional collaborators. Nazimova was queer and preferred to be in relationships with women. Her relationship with her common law husband Charles Bryant (they weren’t legally married but pretended to be so for many years) was a means to protect her professional image. He was also producer, actor and director for many of her films, which further gave Nazimova control over her projects. Lambert offers the reader many stories about key figures like June Mathis, Jean Acker, Rudolph Valentino, Natacha Rambova and many more. I was surprised to discover that much celebrated genre producer Val Lewton was Nazimova’s nephew! And of course, there are Nazimova’s homes including the The Garden of Allah and Who-Tok, both of which no longer exist although stories of these grand homes continue to be part of her legacy.</p><p>My biggest issue with Lambert’s biography on Nazimova is some of the outdated language. There are a few sexist and racist terms, direct quotations from people in Nazimova’s life, that I feel could have been nixed in the reissue. Fortunately, these are few and far between. There is quite a lot of details about Nazimova’s sex life but I felt it was done in a respectful manner. Lambert really does demonstrate how these relationships were key to her growth as a performer and were also how she navigated her social world.</p><p>Never salacious and always informative, Gavin Lambert’s biography captures the dramatic rise and fall of the late great Nazimova.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Thank you to University Press of Kentucky for sending me a digital copy of this book to review!</i></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">All content is property of Out of the Past: A Classic Film Blog.
