"It used to be that when an actress reached thirty, she was considered almost washed up."
LANA TURNER, #botd 1921,
Anything but washed up here in glorious full color splendor.
It's time to say goodbye to 2019!
Lino Ventura casually ripping off the final day of the year of the calendar in LE DEUXIEME SOUFFLE (1966, Melville).
Cool comme ça...
I’m Dutch. Our country is small. We don’t do big things. With the rare exception. RUTGER HAUER was such an extremely rare exception. We lost a landmark figure today.
Godverdomme Rutger, we gaan je missen.

KISS ME DEADLY, directed in 1955 by Robert Aldrich.
Crazy, weird, and certainly unique #FilmNoir with Ralph Meeker starring as Mike Hammer. A whirlwind plot of apocalyptic proportions, cool cars, deadly dames, and hip designs make this awesome.

"I'd love to see more women working as directors & producers. Today, it's almost impossible to do unless you are an actress or writer with power. I wouldn't hesitate right now to hire a talented woman if the subject matter were right."
IDA LUPINO, btd 1918, in 1972
