May 24, 1962 - Opening today is “Lonely Are the Brave,” a Western film adaptation of the Edward Abbey novel “The Brave Cowboy.” The film was directed by David Miller from a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo, and stars Kirk Douglas, Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau, Carroll O’Connor, and George Kennedy.

Today's fanart is dedicated to a very special and charismatic actor: Conrad Veidt. Portraits that include hands are always such an attractive challenge for me, as they can add so much expression and character to the work.

Here are 10 things you should know about Fay Bainter, born 130 years ago today. She enjoyed a long and successful career in the theatre before turning to the movies, radio and television.
Airplane! is one of the most enduring film comedies of all time, as its style of parody still inspires movies and TV shows, and it still manages to find new fans more than 40 years after its release. What some fans may know is that the movie's plot -- and even some of its character names and dialogue -- was lifted straight from an old drama film called Zero Hour. Jerry Zucker, part of the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker team that wrote, produced, and directed Airplane!, spoke about how they evolved the dead-serious Zero Hour into the uproariously funny Airplane!.
Airplane! is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.
