I want to begin by apologizing for not posting a "What are You Watchingc" column on Friday it completely slipped my mind along with forgetting to post reader box office prediction averages. I've added both items to my reminders app so I won't forget again. The reason I think the "What are You Watchingc" column slipped my mind is because I didn't have any big plans for movie watching this weekend. I did go see Turbo yesterday morning and last night I watched the 1946 film Deception starring Bette Davis, Paul Henreid and Claude Rains, though I still have about 15 minutes of it to watch since I absolutely could not keep my eyes open to finish it. A lack of sleep lately finally caught up with me. Otherwise, last week I saw Pacific Rim and The World's End at screenings and my review of The Hunt came after watching an online screener.

Paul Henreid: Actor was ‘dependable’ leading man to Hollywood actresses Paul Henreid, best known as the man who wins Ingrid Bergman’s body but not her heart in Casablanca, is Turner Classic Movies’ Star of the Month of July 2013. TCM will be showing a couple of dozen movies featuring Henreid, who, though never a top star, was a "dependable" — i.e., unexciting but available — leading man to a number of top Hollywood actresses of the ’40s, among them Bette Davis, Ida Lupino, Olivia de Havilland, Eleanor Parker, Joan Bennett, and Katharine Hepburn. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Paul Henreid movies to be shown on Turner Classic Movies in July consists of Warner Bros. productions that are frequently broadcast all year long, no matter who is TCM’s Star of the Month. Just as unfortunately, TCM will not present any of Henreid’s little-seen supporting performances of the ’30s, e.

Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid is a weirdly un-famous movie which works on a couple of different levels. For the 8 year old boy in all of us, it’s typical Steve Martin; a silly comedy with lines like “Can I use her underwear to make soup?” For the film noir fan it’s a loving tribute to the genre, complete with fainting dames and frequent bullet wounds. Finally, for the movie buff it’s an unmissable pastiche of some of Hollywood’s best loved flicks.

Steve Martin plays Rigby Reardon, a private eye (what else?) who is haunted by the words “Cleaning woman” and calls up Humphrey Bogart whenever he needs assistance. We meet him just as he embarks upon a new case, when Juliet (Rachel Ward) shows up with suspicions about her father’s death. Rigby’s mission develops into a typically convoluted tale of murder, scrawled notes on dollar bills,...

The Letter (1929) Review Pt.1. [Photo: Jeanne Eagels as jealous murderess Leslie Crosbie.] Low-key, however, is hardly the appropriate manner to describe Jeanne Eagels' bombastic talkie début in a role played in London by Gladys Cooper and on Broadway by Katharine Cornell. Eagels, a sensation on stage as Sadie Thompson in W. Somerset Maugham's Rain and the star of a handful of silent films (e.g., The World and the Woman; The Fires of Youth; Man, Woman and Sin, opposite John Gilbert), acts the part of the adulteress-murderess as if she were playing to the far corners of the gallery. (Rain was unavailable for a film adaptation at the time because Gloria Swanson had produced and starred in Raoul Walsh's Sadie Thompson the year before.) Eagels' performance is all mannerisms — hand to forehead to show distress, trembling voice to show despair — and no emotional core. While Bette Davis' 1940 Leslie looks and acts like a cool, calculating vixen,...
