Having watched Vertigo yesterday, I just felt like recommending some vintage movies because there's a lot of good shit out there

The Big Sleep - One of the classics of film noir-- like, this and Double Indemnity are the top of the "noir of all time" lists. Out of the two, this is easier to get into, and funner to watch. The film is famously not too concerned about figuring out the plot, and much more interested in the chemistry between Bogart and Bacall and simmering in one-liner after one-liner. It's a solid noir and a good time.

Rebecca - I don't think I really need to say anything about this one, its reputation fully precedes it. I will say, black and white sets a mood in a way color is hard pressed to match, and this film really takes advantage of that.

Some Like It Hot - comedies are touchy about aging, but this one absolutely still holds up. The first time I watched it with my sister it made her laugh so loudly she almost got us found out for watching tv after hours. Also the first thing I ever saw Marilyn Monroe in-- I'd never gotten the attraction before, but 20 seconds of screen-time and I was magnetized.

Gaslight - Without giving too much away, basically a new bride is slowly tricked by her husband into believing she's going mad. I don't need to talk about Bergman's acting skills, but seeing her go from happy and naive newlywed to neurotic wreck makes her ultimate role in the finale just feel fucking TRIUMPHANT. Also watch for Angela Lansbury as a BABY in what I believe was her screen debut.

The Innocents - an adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. I already mentioned the artistic effects possible with black and white-- I'm not sure I've ever seen them put to better use than in this film. From lush, dreamily shot scenes of luminescent white flowers and floaty dresses, to candle flames reflecting against wet black window panes, every shot is Art, and the full-on gothic imagery as the plot speeds along is gorgeous. The kid's performances are genuinely unsettling, and Debra Kerr's usually rational presence makes it all seem more plausible. Basically nearly everything that worked in Haunting of Bly Manor was lifted directly from The Innocents.

In a Lonely Place - another noir, this one of the not-even-flirting-with-a-happy-end variety. It's one of those movies where the chemistry between the leads makes or breaks it, and in this case, it's definitely the former. Watching these two sitting together at the bar, or making eyes across the kitchen, you KNOW they're in love, you want them to be happy together, and you still feel that way even as things escalate and you're yelling at Gloria Grahame to dump him and clear out of town as fast as possible.

Roman Holiday - simply put, a really lovely movie. Audrey Hepburn really is very likeable and fresh in this and the romance is sweet-- and then bittersweet. The setting of 1950s Rome is great for visuals and atmosphere, as well as opportunities for plot; if I was a depressed and overworked young princess, I too would want to play hooky in this dreamy city.

His Girl Friday - my mother dislikes this movie intensely because all of the characters are awful people. She's right, but that doesn't stop them being funny. Another comedy that still works-- the dialogue in this film is so sharp and the comedic timing is relentless. The plot revolves around a newspaper reporter, Hildy, her ex-husband (also a reporter), and her new fiancee; the ex and the fiancee jocky for position while the newshounds attempt to get the scoop on an important story, and the plot unwinds at breakneck speed, throwing out wisecracks like sparks as it goes.

Steichen era già pittore e fotografo affermato sulle due sponde dell'Atlantico quando, nei primi mesi del 1923, gli offrirono l'incarico più prestigioso e certamente più redditizio nel campo della fotografia commerciale, quello di fotografo capo per "Vogue" e "Vanity Fair", le autorevoli e influenti riviste Condé Nast di moda e costume. Nel corso di quindici anni Steichen produsse un corpus di opere di ineguagliabile genialità e si avvalse del proprio talento straordinario, accompagnato da una prorompente vitalità, per rappresentare e valorizzare la cultura contemporanea e i massimi esponenti della vita politica, letteraria, teatrale, operistica, con un occhio di riguardo per il mondo dell'alta moda. Avendo personalmente frequentato gli ambienti artistici più progressisti in patria e all'estero ed essendo un eclettico di carattere, era l'interprete ideale dell'alta moda in fotografia. Gli anni venti e trenta rappresentano il momento culminante della carriera fotografica di Steichen e tra le opere da lui realizzate per "Vogue" e "Vanity Fair" si annoverano alcune delle più stupefacenti fotografie del XX secolo.

My Personal Ranking of James Stewart’s movies.

A while ago, I did three separate posts ranking Cary Grant’s, Audrey Hepburn’s and Claude Rains’ films (at least of the ones I’ve seen), and I realized that there are a couple more actors that I wanted to do this for...actors whose filmography I’ve tried to work through, and to see as much of their work as I can.�� With 102 credits, it will be a long time before I see all of James Stewart’s work, but here’s my personal ranking of the films I have seen.

And this is based mostly on my enjoyment of the movie, not just his performance...though his performance may have been the deciding factor if I needed a “tie breaker”.

14. Ziegfeld Girl

Now, I actually saw this movie for the first time last night and I was pretty excited to see it.  A young James Stewart in a movie with Judy Garland and there are Busby Berkley musical numbers?  This is going to be great!  Ummm...I have to admit that sadly, I was pretty bored.  This movie is 2 hours and 12 minutes, and they could have easily cut 10 minutes and not lose anything.  And Stewart is only in 25 minutes of the movie.  His scenes are great, and it’s always nice to see Judy Garland in any movie, but the three separate storylines just didn’t flow well together and I found myself checking the time a lot.  The most interesting thing about it for me was that it was Stewart’s last film before WWII, and that some people think you can see Gene Kelly in the background of one of the numbers.

13.  The Greatest Show on Earth

Speaking of overly long movies...this one is a two hour movie stretched out to three...but it’s Cecil B. DeMille, and I don’t think he ever made a movie that wasn’t a long epic with a cast of thousands.  And while a lot of the circus stuff did not age well, a lot of it is still very impressive to watch.  Gloria Grahame learned how to work with elephants, Cornel Wilde and Betty Hutton did their own trapeze work, and the train crash sequence still holds up.  And James Stewart plays a clown!  You never see him out of his clown makeup, as his character is hiding from the law...and it’s kinda fun to see him act silly and do some more gag-type humor.  But this is another case where his scenes are some of the more interesting ones, but he’s just not in the movie all that much.

12.  You Can’t Take It With You

This one is ranked a bit lower because I’ve only seen it once!  So, if I ever get around to watching it again, it may move up the ranks.  But it’s a fun, light comedy that is perfect for someone like Frank Capra.  And he’s really adorable in this movie.

11.  Harvey

Another case of me only seeing this movie once years ago...but this is also a really sweet movie, and Stewart is great as the “pleasant” Elwood P. Dowd, who is best friends with a giant rabbit.

10.  Rope

This is a very interesting movie.  The first time I saw it, I didn’t really like it...but after a few more viewings, I’ve grown to appreciate it more.  It’s not my favorite Hitchcock movie, and not his best collab with Hitchcock, but it is technically impressive with some decent tension.  

9.  Anatomy of a Murder

Now, I’ve only seen this movie once...even though I do own the Criterion Blu-Ray...it’s just a very long movie and it’s tough to find the time.  But it’s a very engaging legal drama and Stewart is excellent as the defense lawyer of a man on trial for murdering his wife’s rapist.

8.  The Man Who Knew Too Much

So, this is a remake that Hitchcock made of one of his mown movies...and Hitchcock preferred this one, saying that “the first was made by an amateur, and the remake by a professional.”  I personally like them both about the same, liking some things more in the original, some in the remake...but James Stewart was the perfect choice to play the father of a kidnapped child.  He and Doris Day have very nice, easy chemistry...they do feel like a married couple who are just so comfortable together.  

7.  Rose Marie

So, this isn’t really a James Stewart movie...not in the way you would think.  This is a Nelson Eddy/Jeanette MacDonald movie, where James Stewart appears in one scene.  This was his second movie, and he is about 21 years old and just so cute...He plays Jeanette Macdonald’s younger brother who is on the run after murdering a Mountie.  I remember watching this movie when I was like, eight...so this was probably my introduction to James Stewart, before I even knew who he was.

6.  Shenendoah

I just re-watched this movie about a week ago and James Stewart is so fucking good in it...if you want to see his definitive curmudgeon performance while he also makes you cry, you don’t need to look any farther than Shenandoah.  Stewart plays a Virginian farmer during the Civil War who has basically not chosen a side.  He doesn’t support the Confederates because he’s opposed to slavery, but he also doesn’t support the North because he’s opposed to war.  He just wants to sit out the war and tend his farm with his seven children...but then his youngest son gets taken prisoner by the Yankees, and he goes off to try and find him.  It’s a deeply layered performance and I’m honestly surprised that he wasn’t nominated for it...it’s also the movie where you get to hear him say the phrase: “a spare tit”, which is weirdly hilarious to me.

5.  It’s a Wonderful Life

Now we’ve made it to his most well-known movie...what can I saw about It’s a Wonderful Life that hasn’t already been said?  It’s so iconic and such a huge part of so many people’s Christmas traditions...and his performance is so incredible... George Bailey goes on such a massive emotional journey, and he is captivating to watch.

4.  Vertigo

This movie is so mesmerizing...it’s definitely one of Hitchcock’s masterpieces.  Stewart’s character Scotty is actually fairly unlikable for the majority of the movie (there are so many moments that just make me go “ick”), but his performance is so layered, you can’t keep your eyes off of him.  And that scene between him and Kim Novak in the tower is one of my favorite scenes in any Hitchcock movie.  It is so intense, and there have been plenty of times that I haven’t rewound the movie to re-watch the scene.

3.  Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

If I had to pick James Stewart’s best performance, I would have to pick this movie.  It is an absolutely incredible, and it is too bad that he didn’t win his Oscar for this movie (though many people think that his win the next year was a consolation prize).  Jefferson Smith is a patriot...wide-eyed, innocent and always believes the best in people...but he slowly gets ground down as he learns that Washington DC is not a great as he thought.  People are dishonest and untrustworthy...he learns it the hard way, but he still has some fight left in him, and he’s the kind of person that just has to try.  And his scenes in the Senate between him and Claude Rains are outstanding.

2.  Rear Window

This was the first Hitchcock movie I ever saw, and what a great way to start!  It is such an interesting murder mystery, and for so long, you’re not even 100% sure that it is a murder mystery...but Jeff is so invested in finding out the truth that you have to stick with him until we know for sure.  And the fact that it takes place all in one room and you never get bored is a testament to how engaging the story and James Stewart as Jeff are.

1.  The Philadelphia Story

I love this movie so much.  It interesting, when I made my Cary Grant countdown, this movie ended up at number one there, too.  But I think it comes down to just how much fun this movie is...the characters are likable and interesting; the dialogue is razor sharp and the actors all have terrific chemistry.  Especially James Stewart and Katharine Hepburn.  That scene with them after the party could be a short film all on its own and it would still be perfect.  And the scene between a drunk Mike and sober Dexter never fails at making me cackle.  I think that this movie is a good recommendation for someone who is looking for more Old Hollywood movies to watch.

And there you have it!  If you’ve made it to the end of this long post, congratulations. :)

There are a couple more of his movies I would like to check out, like Vivacious Lady and Bell, Book and Candle...maybe I’ll make an addition/update to this countdown.

Also, I never realized until I looked at his filmography, just how many westerns this man starred in...he made around 20 over the course of his career, which is so interesting to me, since he’s not the first person I think of when I think “westerns”...but anyway...thanks for reading!

For the detective drama casting exercise, all in the Wimseyverse: Ben Wishaw, Tom Hiddleston, Anna Chancellor, Katharine Hepburn, and Cate Blanchett.

Challenging and delightful!

Ben Whishaw as the artist in Five Red Herrings who mysteriously disappears and whom Wimsey only reluctantly uncovers. I've forgotten his name. Gowan? Graham? Anyway, that one.

Tom Hiddleston as Sir Julian Freke.

ANNA CHANCELLOR! My heart says Katharine Climpson. I know Anna Chancellor is tall and full of Presence, but she is also hilariously funny (vide Mapp and Lucia) and I think she could make a plausible and delightful Miss Climpson, Anglo-Catholicism, run-on sentences, and all.

Kate the Great as Miss Hillyard.

Cate Blanchett (also great) as Miss Meteyard. Interesting bones, indeed!

Thirteen Era Rewatch: The Ghost Monument

I'm re-watching Thirteen's era in lead up to the Centenary and since this is likely going to be my last full re-watch for a while I thought I'd do a post on each ep where I just go over all the things I love, hate or just have some general thoughts on. I've tried to keep this organised but it's a bit ramble-y.

Is it a bit of a coincidence that the Doctor and co happened to end up in a place where there were people to rescue them? Yes. Do I care? Not really.

The way Epzo shoves Yaz even though she was barely in his way ???

The Doctor’s vibe in this ep is once again chef’s kiss. And I love how done she is with Epzo.

Also I’ve seen ppl, mainly a certain vid, mention how Epzo goes on about not caring too much or whatever but it’s like.. Yeah, and 13 makes a comment to him about it. It doesn’t just go unmentioned. Epzo acts that way on purpose.

I like the fam’s reaction to being on an alien planet for the first time tbh. They have moments throughout the ep where they’re like wow, this is strange but then they get on with what they need to be doing. It feels realistic and also imo shows they’re strong people

I am once again reminding people that the shades 13 gives Graham are not THE shades she got from Hepburn/Pythagoras, they just REMIND HER of shades she got from Hepburn/Pythagoras.

I really like when 13 calls Ryan, Yaz and Graham her new best friends. It’s just cute innit

Graham kinda went off in this episode tbh. He has the range. One minute he’s making one liners, then he’s having a go, then he’s tryna have a serious chat with Ryan. Maybe I’m a Graham stan

The gang do low-key kinda just stand around during that long scene in the tent. The moments they do get are pretty good imo but they could probs have done with being given more stuff to say rather than it being all on the Doctor.

The Doctor’s face when she sees the TARDIS is the Ghost Monument

Ryan asking if they’re eligible too lmao I love him. And then at the end of the ep when he goes to touch the console. Don’t understand people who say Ryan has no personality. He has a lot going on tbh.

Graham trying to talk to Ryan about Grace and Ryan saying he talks about this stuff too much versus RotD where Ryan is the one who gets Thirteen to talk !!

Epzo’s story about his mum is low-key very dramatic like what was the reason.

The close ups when they’re on the boat are kinda disgusting tbh like why

Ryan going out to shoot the bots is a good scene imo. I think it’s good for showing that he don’t really know 13 yet and isn’t always going to blindly do what he says. Also it’s a fun scene. I don’t know or care if it’s unrealistic that he’d be a great shot.

Stenza mention felt low-key unnecessary, like they were trying to tie it into the first episode and almost imply a series long Stenza connection when we actually don’t see the Stenza again til 11.10 and even then it’s still only Tim.

I like the mentions of Ryan’s dyspraxia. I don’t think it needs to be a massive focus, the odd mention and acknowledgement that he is struggling to do some things is good imo

The Remnants weren’t really used that much but I think they’re kinda cool? Even if they are literally just rags lmao. Also shoutout to the Timeless Child mention. I like that scene a lot.

Surely that cigar could’ve been set off by literally anyone at any point if they clicked their fingers when they were close enough to it? I would’ve clicked my fingers just to piss Epzo off and then we’d all be dead bc we wouldn’t have the cigar for that Remnants scene

I’ve seen people cry about how 13 gives up at the end but it works for me tbh. I think bc she didn’t know how long it would take for the TARDIS to show up, or if it even would, and she knew they couldn’t survive for long, it makes sense for her to be like oh we’re fucked

Why does the Doctor say to the fam that she left the TARDIS a mess even though one minute before that she said to the TARDIS, ‘Oh, you’ve done yourself up.’ Did she think only the exterior had changed? That’s dumb

In terms of what we know about 13 and the fam I feel like this is also a pretty good ep? We see more of Ryan and Graham’s relationship, we see the Doctor needing reassurance and being kinda snippy, and Yaz talks about her family.

Maggie Smith and Alec McCowen in Travels With My Aunt (George Cukor, 1972) Cast: Maggie Smith, Alec McCowen, Louis Gossett Jr., Robert Stephens, Cindy Williams, Robert Flemyng, José Luis López Vázquez, Raymond Gérôme. Screenplay: Jay Presson Allen, Hugh Wheeler, based on a novel by Graham Greene. Cinematography: Douglas Slocombe. Production design: John Box. Film editing: John Bloom. Music: Tony Hatch. Graham Greene's novel Travels With My Aunt is a contribution to the "wacky aunt" genre whose most popular constituents include Arsenic and Old Lace and Auntie Mame. Greene, a more substantial writer than the authors of either of those works, added his usual layers of international intrigue and espionage to the story of a mild-mannered bank clerk dragooned into risky business by his elderly aunt -- who may in fact be his mother. The film version jettisons most of Greene's subtext and a good deal of his plot, especially toward the end of the film. The project began with director George Cukor's interest in the book and his hope that he could persuade Katharine Hepburn to play Aunt Augusta. For a time Hepburn was interested even to the point of helping write a screenplay, but the original deal fell through. It was revived for Maggie Smith, playing to her strength as a specialist in eccentric and imperious women, which helped her win an Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (Ronald Neame, 1969). But Smith was in her late 30s, much too young for the film's Aunt Augusta, so she is heavily made up and affects a drawn-down mouth and a fluty treble for much of the role. (She was not too young for the flashbacks that show Augusta in her earlier years -- scenes that may have would have been impossible for Hepburn.) Smith was also nine years younger than the actor playing her putative nephew, Alec McCowen, who seems a little ill at ease in some of the film and never quite makes Henry's transition from mouse to lion convincing. The best performances in the film, surprisingly, are given by the American actors, Louis Gossett Jr. as Augusta's lover Wordsworth and Cindy Williams as the hippie known as Tooley. Though Travels With My Aunt fails to capture the spirit and depth of Greene's novel, suffers from miscasting, and ends weakly, it has some amusing moments and some opulent views of Paris locations.

BWAH! well thank you E for answering all those questions. A little thinky thought, who else could you see portray Carol Aird on the big screen? It can be an actress from any era. Gena Rowlands maybe?

You ask loaded questions, @syneidisi. I focus on the old stuff, so here they go, complete with Wiki links. No particular order.

Yays: Lauren Bacall Carole Lombard Barbara Stanwyck Katharine Hepburn Greta Garbo Deborah Kerr Alida Valli Lana Turner Gena Rowlands Simone Signoret Grace Kelly Joan Fontaine Marlene Dietrich Gloria Grahame Norma Shearer

Nays: Jean Harlow Judy Garland Loretta Young Jean Arthur Hedy Lamarr Claudette Colbert Vivien Leigh Bette Davis Joan Crawford Ingrid Bergman Lucille Ball Margaret Sullavan Judy Holliday Shirley MacLaine Marilyn Monroe Olivia de Havilland Doris Day Veronica Lake Janet Leigh Celia Johnson

I mean, yeah, there are wigs and all, but have you seen Judy Garland as a ginger? Vivien Leigh as a blonde? [Yeah, it's a black-and-white film, but still... unholy.] Nope.
