    FYI,

    A nice overview of the life of actor John Garfield from the Cinema Cities YouTube page. It runs about 35 minutes, but there are time "chapters" so you can skip over parts that may not interest you.

    As promised. The Jules Dassin interview from Criterion in which he details the production of RIFIFI (1955).

    Today, September 9th would have been actress Jane Greer's 101st birthday.
    Did I watch OUT OF THE PAST to mark the occasion?
    .... YEP!

    Greer's Kathie Moffat is certainly a top-notch femme fatale.

    As I've stated before, Jane Greer was a very attractive lady @ToTheRight. It's a pity that she wasn't a bigger star .... due in part to the real life "Willard Whyte"

    I love the chapter on her in Eddie Muller's DARK CITY DAMES book.

    Same here @ToTheRight . =D>
    Poor Jane Greer ... and her husband asks for a quickie Mexican divorce while she is recovering from surgery to correct a life-threatening illness. WOW.

    I've been meaning to post something to the "last movie bought" thread about DARK CITY DAMES and I had even drafted a review (along with a related book) for that purpose. Unfortunately, I haven't finished it yet. Maybe this weekend?
