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

Gloria Grahame
Gloria Grahame often did more with less screen time than most actresses.  Whether she was a femme fatale, the mobsters moll or a frustrated housewife, she ALWAYS made an impression as a leading lady or a supporting character.  Sure she was beautiful, but she was also immensely talented and her Top10 films represent the full range of that talent.  It's fitting that her 2nd husband (and future father-in-law) Nicholas Ray is our featured director because they share the Top Film for each In A Lonely Place.  

Featured Director

Top 10 Nicholas Ray Films
Nicholas Ray was a tortured soul who often featured characters on the outskirts of society who struggled to fit in.  He was an actor's director who brought sensitivity & intimacy to many of his pictures.  He also helped craft the career defining role for James Dean & arguably Humphrey Bogart's finest performance.
