We were proud to restore this film after programming it at a NOIR CITY festival and only being able to get a 16mm which we had to borrow from a private collector.

Me encantó Manolo Solo en Una quinta portuguesa (2025), la primera vez que lo veía como protagonista. Si a alguien se le pasó en su momento, la recomiendo de corazón. Especialmente a los que, como a mí, os atrapa todo lo noir.

Aside from her incredible work in classics like DOUBLE INDEMNITY or THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS, Barbara Stanwyck appeared in a number of lesser-discussed noirs with just as much power and edge. A few of those recommendations here in honor of her #BOTD: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi_R...

Sam Neill was his generation’s James Mason: he never give a dud performance and was utterly convincing as a goodie or a baddie. He could do warmth or chill and you never saw him “act”. I loved him as the dishy, callous Astrov character in Michael Blakemore’s Uncle Vanya adaptation Country Life. RIP.
I am a long-time film fan of Jean Arthur's, and to date . . . I still remain in awe of her with every film I watch/rewatch her in. She remained consistently flawless (imo) throughout her career, and I don't just mean her beauty, but in creating believable characters, from beginning to end.
El PP ha votado hoy NO a las nuevas leyes de dependencia y discapacidad. En bloque. NO incluso a cosas que ellos mismos llevan años pidiendo. Es torpe, incomprensible y contrario al interés general. Ojalá recapaciten para la votación del pleno. Allá ellos.
"If anything unites Gene Kelly's classic musicals, it’s a belief that no past experience could be horrific enough to prevent you from letting loose that whole-human-race encompassing smile and falling in love with life all over again."

Miriam’s Vintage Classics@miriamclassics.bsky.social · 5mo ago"I know you think we have no rights but you're wrong. We have one and we'll keep one. The right to do with our bodies as we please." Olivia de Havilland in a clip of a screen test for Max Reinhardt's unrealized project DANTON (1936). #InternationalWomensDay
On this day in 1908, Anne of Green Gables was published. Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, it became one of the most famous books of the 20th century. The book has sold 50 million copies in 36 languages and been adapted into TV series, movies, plays and much more.
Never quite sure how to feel about my birthday, so I kept it low key this year after some intense months. But I still wanted to celebrate over here with this bit about fellow Gemini Rosalind Russell. Her wit, energy, and comedic brilliance will always inspire me. 📽️ Clip via Doctor Macro.
In 1952, a year before her big breakthrough, Marilyn Monroe played Nell Forbes in DON'T BOTHER TO KNOCK. Alongside Richard Widmark and Anne Bancroft, she gave one of her most interesting and lesser-known performances. Sharing again my video on it here: youtu.be/zOfa86DnlQA?... #Filmsky #FilmNoir

Kicking off June and Marilyn Monroe’s centenary by dusting off one of my most treasured possessions, TASCHEN’s collector’s edition of SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959). A gift from my mum for my 18th birthday, and still one of my most sentimental pieces for an all-time favorite film. Happy 100th, Sugar.

For this first dispatch out of #Cannes I wrote about the seven films I watched that screened as part of Critics’ Week, including LA GRADIVA, which is my favorite film of the festival.

In his honor, here’s my piece on one of my top four Alfred Hitchcock films: ROPE (1948). James Stewart considered himself miscast, but I beg to differ. An actor with such access to vulnerability and ambivalence does shine in these roles. I wrote this last year, and I’m sharing it again here. #BOTD

Beyond a remarkable filmography, James Mason is associated with the rediscovery story of Buster Keaton film prints in his former Beverly Hills home and the lovely publication "The Cats in Our Lives" which he co-wrote and illustrated along with his wife Pamela. Such a lovely legacy. #BOTD
How cute is early Jean Arthur. Undated, but possibly late 1920s, the caption says she's holding Piezo-Electric Oscillator Crystal used to control radio wavelengths.
Today our recently adopted senior cat Negri had to undergo major dental surgery to hopefully improve her quality of life. She’s now under observation and it’s been a tough day. Tough weeks, actually. Recovery might take time, but we’re wishing for the best possible outcome for her. 🖤

Rondallas (2025) Una comfort movie divertida y emocionante, una historia que alega a la construcción del sentido comunitario, con un trasfondo trágico que se siente muy emotivo y genuino; aún siendo una película sin grandes pretensiones, ofrece unos personajes tremendamente dibujados y construidos,
