Hotness Is A Reason (Lions, Towers & Shields 134)

Gene Tierney does comedy. John Lund is not bad. And THELMA RITTER IS THE BEST.

Clown Car Full of Raincoats (Lions, Towers & Shields 133)

Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly. Gotta be a musical, right? Actually, it’s a film noir, whose connection to Christmas is limited at best. So much misdirection, and I haven’t even told you the plot.

Clothes, Cars and Acreage (Lions, Towers & Shields 132)

Tracy and Hepburn do “battle of the sexes” and help Judy Holiday launch her film career. There’s a random Cole Porter song, and T & H are adorable. George Cukor directs a great script.

It is nighttime and a city bus just went by and, inside, fully lit, I saw a woman in an elegant red dress and a vibrant blond 30sish updo sitting alone and staring absently at the floor and I . . . I think I honest-to-fuck just saw a Hopper painting go by.

We're taking a quick late-season break, because a couple of episodes I'd planned have fallen through. I do have a holiday-adjacent show for you, which IIwill post after US Thanksgiving. Then, perhaps one more before the end of the year. Thanks for sticking with us!

There Are No Cars (Lions, Towers & Shields 129)

he team behind our previous Spooky Season entry CAT PEOPLE — producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur — return with the Jane Eyre-inspired tale of a naive nurse summoned to a tropical island to care for a rich nepo baby’s ailing wife. But the patient’s malady may have a sinister, supernatural source. Get ready for an atmospheric, antiracist spookshow that’s a lot smarter than you’d think, subverting cheap voodoo-movie stereotypes in cool and surprising ways. Ah woe! Ah me! Shame and sorrow for the family! With guest host, Nathan Alderman.
