About Me:
​I've loved movies for as long as I can remember.   For the past 20 years, I've worked for several of the major studios, including MGM, Warner Bros. & 20th Century Fox  in their Home Entertainment divisions.  The 1930's is my favorite decade for movies and I'm really partial to pre-code & Film Noir.

Featured Actor/Actress

Carole Lombard
Carole Lombard was one of the most luminous actresses of the studio era.  In a career that was cut short by her death in a plane crash in January 1942, Lombard was still able to help create the sub genre of Screwball Comedy.  Her performances in My Man Godfrey & Nothing Sacred are revered as comedy classics. Her private life was also made famous by her marriages to leading men William Powell & most famously, Clark Gable.  

Featured Director

John Ford
​Winner of 6 Best Director Oscars, John Ford is the quintessential American director, creating, perpetuating & recasting many of the myths of the west we take for granted.  He also was a brilliant shot maker; not fancy, but he always had the camera in the right place.  Known as "pappy" he commanded his sets as if he were the general of a vast army.  He was often in conflict with studio chiefs, so he often "cut" his films in the camera, allowing for little post shooting editing.
