News & notes

Just a note that I will be taking a short haitus until after Labor Day.

Have been busy archiving treasures I found from my mother's travels to Europe in 1961 (Poland, London, France, Italy and more). I've been piecing together old photos and postcards to match her hand-written journal entries that I recently discovered (see last post on this topic) She took many photos that need to be preserved in acid-free photo albums, and many of the photos will be digitized. Some of ya'll expressed interest in seeing some of the photos, and I'll be sharing those soon. Stay tuned.

Upcoming Capsule Reviews

Some of the movies that I will be writing about soon are -----

Cecil B. Demille's This Day and Age (1935)
Jean Renoir's The Southerner (1945)
Frank Borzage's After Tomorrow (1932)
The Line King: The Al Hirschfeld Story (1996)

Excellent films, all of them, but I'll share more in time.
