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

Robert Mitchum
Mitchum was cool before cool was cool. He was tough, he was laid back & he was versatile.  In a career that spanned 50 years, he played archetypal Noir heroes & anti-heroes, in classic westerns, melodramas and good old fashioned war pictures.  He was a professional throughout, if not for a little drinking problem, a much publicized run in with the law & of course all the 'dames' he chased and bedded.  He was at his best in the Noirs, however, so the Top 10 featured here focuses on just those releases

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.
