The Era -- Day By Day
Seriously, Milt, you couldn't have just implied this. No one needs this mental image in his or her head, do you hear me, no one! N.B. Fitz does look down an egg cream or two in weight.- Fading Fast

"The Eagle Editorialist frowns deeply at recent Easter Parade photos showing a woman parading down the street with her dog, the two of them wearing matching hats.

If all the regular Day-by-Day readers send you a dollar, would you promise to never have Alice call him Rosebud again? Heck, if we all send you two dollars, would you promise to never have Alice allude in any way to her sex life? (I'll tuck a fiver in my envelope for the latter one.)- Fading Fast

If Winter Comes from 1947 with Walter Pidgeon, Deborah Kerr, Angela Lansbury, Janet Leigh, Reginald Owen and John Abbot While the 1950s were the heyday of the movie melodrama, saponaceous stories didn't spring de novo mid-century as Hollywood has been churning them out ever since there's been...- Fading Fast

If Winter Comes by A.S.M Hutchinson originally published in 1921 The benefit of old novels today is both their entertainment value - novels are written to be enjoyed - and their window into a past era free of modern biases and agendas. Yes, they have their own era's biases and agendas, but...- Fading Fast

For fans of Day-by-Day star Gypsy Rose Lee who want to see her in a movie, she has a supporting role in 1958's "Screaming Mimi," a not-very-good Anita Ekberg vehicle I recently watched. At forty-seven in this one, Ms. Lee looks younger than her years, does a very modest dance number and...- Fading Fast

"Uncertain Glory" gets less attention from old-movie fans today in the genre of WWII propaganda movies than it should. It's a really good one. Flynn and Lucas are outstanding and have great chemistry, plus Lucille Watson (not Bucille, wartime replacements, sheesh) never gave a false performance...- Fading Fast

I agree and it's a darn good movie. I enjoyed it. It was fun to see Klemperer in a dramatic role. I've seen him in them before (he is outstandingly dislikable in "Judgement at Nuremberg"), but his Colonel Klink persona is the first one of his that I knew, so I'm always a bit surprised by his...- Fading Fast

I enjoy the Japanese culture, too, but I'm sure she's way ahead of me. I'm also sure she's read a lot of Junichiro Tanizaki's books, like "The Makioka Sisters." On the movie side, I'd recommend hunting out almost anything by writer/director Yasujiro Ozu, but I'd bet she knows that too. Please...- Fading Fast

Never thought of Joe becoming an army cook, but I guess in the army, despite how the army says it officially, it's less about having an aptitude for cooking and more about not having an aptitude for soldiering. I'm for anything that gets Joe home safely.- Fading Fast

If I Had a Million from 1932 If I Had a Million is an early talkie curio of a movie comprising several short episodes related to each other by one overarching narrative.
