"Road to Singapore Here's the first trip in what would become one of Paramount Pictures' most profitable film series of the '40s.

In fact, Hope is billed third in Road to Singapore, below Der Bingle and Dorothy Lamour. The script establishes what would be a co ..."
"The last masterwork by Ernst Lubitsch--whose other gems include Trouble in Paradise, Lady Windermere's Fan, Ninotchka, and The Shop Around the Corner--Heaven Can Wait was nominated for best picture and director Oscars in its day but largely neglected thereafter. Partly it's a matter of no one expecting a 1943 Fox movie featuring Don Ameche, the star of so many bland Technicolor musicals at that studio, to be a comedy of rare loveliness. ..."
"In 1941, Barbara Stanwyck was offered two screwball roles equally suited to her tart intelligence, deft comic timing, and undeniable sex appeal, and it's a photo finish as to which was funnier--showgirl-on-the-lam Sugarpuss O'Shea, the title character in Howard Hawks's Ball of Fire, or con artist Jean Harrington a.k.a. Lady Eve Sidwich, the delirious fulcrum for this classic Preston Sturges comedy. Under Sturges's typically antic micros ..."

"Adultery, amnesia, insanity, murder and guilt are just some of the common themes of these three film noir gems from top directors James Kern, Busby Berkeley (in his only non-musical film) and Arthur Lubin. Films Include: Impact (1949) Irene Williams (Hele "

He has the luck to be assigned to the counter next to Jean Arthur, rasping out one of her inimitab ..."
