Watching 1939: Let Us Live (1939)
In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that’s difficult.

The Big Clock https://bit.ly/3qeTIPY The IMDb description of The Big Clock succinctly tells the story of what happens – “A magazine tycoon commits a murder and pins it on an innocent man, who then tries to solve the murder himself” – while remaining silent about the massive irony at the centre of the story. The further the man advances with … Read more

Robert Taylor: The Last Matinee Idol
Robert Taylor: The Last Matinee Idol
This is from a movie magazine under the category “Nostalgia.” The year is 1974, based on some obituaries in it. I couldn’t find the name of the magazine on any of the pages. I don’t agree with the premise of the article. Robert Taylor was a splendid actor, much more than a matinée idol. There is the usual plethora of factual errors, most of which I left alone.
