His Girl Friday (1940). Comedy film directed by Howard Hawks. Cast:Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy. It is best known for its rapid-fire dialogue.
Newspaper reporter Hildy Johnson, recently divorced from newspaper editor Walter Burns, stops by his office at the Morning Post, to tell him that she is planning to marry insurance salesman, Bruce Baldwin. When she gets there, Walter is working on a story about Earl Williams, who has just been sentenced to die for killing a policeman. To keep Hildy from leaving, he tells her the paper needs her to cover the story. Hildy at first refuses, saying that she is tired of being a newspaperman and now wants to be a wife.
While having lunch, Walter learns that the couple are leaving with Bruce's mother, on the four o'clock train to Albany. Wanting to quickly come up with a plan to win Hildy back, Walter convinces Bruce that only a story written by Hildy can save Williams. Hildy agrees to write the story if Walter will purchase a life insurance policy from Bruce. Walter agrees and when he returns to the newspaper office with Bruce for a medical examination, Hildy goes to the press room at the criminal court's building, where she is welcomed by the other reporters, who warn her that she will never be able to give up the newspaper business. Walter does everything he can to keep Hildy from leaving. Will Walter prevent Hildy's up coming marriage and will Hildy get the big story?
This is a very charming/funny film. Cary Grant is, of course better than ever, and I've never seen Rosalind Russel in a role that suited her more perfectly. The supporting actors, down to the bit-players, are all perfect for this film.
Fun fact: Ginger Rogers wrote that she was offered the role of Hildy Johnson. She read the script, but this was before Cary Grant was cast, and she turned it down. After learning that Grant was cast, she regretted it.
Blackmail (1929), Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Cast: Anny Ondra, John Longden and Cyril Ritchard, and featuring Donald Calthrop, Sara Allgood and Charles Paton. The film is based on the play Blackmail by Charles Bennett. Having began production as a silent film, the studio, British International Pictures, decided to convert it to sound during shooting. As an early 'talkie', the film is frequently cited by film historians as a landmark film, and is often considered to be the first British sound feature film.
The story begins, as Scotland Yard Detective Frank Webber and his girlfriend Alice White decide to dine at a local tea house. They have an argument and Alice leaves with Mr. Crewe, an artist whom she has earlier agreed to meet. At his apartment, Crewe sings and plays "Miss Up-to-Date" on the piano. He convinces Alice to try on a dress then makes a move on her as she is changing. Alice grabs a knife killing him.
Alice leaves after attempting to conceal any evidence of her presence in the apartment. Unfortunately, she has left her gloves behind. The next day Frank is assigned to the case and finds one of the gloves. He realizes the glove belongs to Alice and visits Alice at her father's shop. Unsavory character Tracey, saw Alice at the artist's apartment earlier, and tries to blackmail the couple.
Things become complicated when Tracey becomes the chief suspect after the artist's landlady identifies him as being at the scene of the crime. Tracey runs for his life with the police hot on his trail. Will he be successful at getting away?
The camera angles, scenery, all combined to make what we would expect in a Hitchcock movie.
Alfred Hitchcock's cameo, shows him being bothered by a small boy as he reads a book on the London Underground. This is probably the lengthiest cameo appearance Hitchcock performed in his film career.
Fun Facts:
In one key shot, the villain Cyril Ritchard is photographed with a thick shadow (caused by the arm of an overhead chandelier) across his upper lip. Hitchcock wanted the image to evoke the old-fashioned, heavily mustached villain found in many silent films. He later called this touch "my farewell to silent pictures".
Generally acknowledged as the first British talkie, and definitely the first sound-on-film British talkie. The Clue of the New Pin (1929), was released in March 1929 in the British Phototone system.
With The Jazz Singer (1927) doing spectacular business, the producers decided that the last reel of this predominantly silent film should have sound. Alfred Hitchcock thought that this was an absurd idea and so he secretly filmed the whole thing with sound.
The light levels in the British Museum were insufficient to allow Hitchcock to film the final chase scene in the museum. Without informing the producer, Alfred Hitchcock used the Schufftan process (developed by German cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan). This involved taking still photos of the interior of the museum, then reflecting the photos in a mirror with certain parts of the silvering of the mirror scraped away to allow people (entering a door, for example) to be filmed through the mirror so that they appeared to be present in the museum (in later years, American development of traveling matte and other process photography methods largely replaced the Shufftan process).
Alfred Hitchcock filmed the silent version with Sam Livesey as the Chief Inspector, but when filming the sound version replaced Livesey with Harvey Braban.
Michael Powell claims to have suggested the use of The British Museum as the location for the final pursuit, thus beginning Alfred Hitchcock's use of famous landmarks in his "chase" films.
As Tracy (Donald Calthrop) sits eating some food which he has just gained in a first minor act of blackmail, he sits humming the tune "The Best Things in Life are Free".
Anny Ondra (May 15 1903 – February 28 1987), acted in Czech, Austrian and German comedies in the 1920s, and in some British dramas, best known for her films: The Manxman and Blackmail (both in 1929). When Blackmail was remade with sound, Ondra's thick accent was considered unacceptable, so her dialogue was recorded by actress Joan Barry. Ondra made some forty more films in the sound era before retiring in the late-1930s.
She had a production company with her first husband, director Karel Lamac. Lamac had directed her in several silent films and also acted with her in films. They worked together, even after their divorce. On July 6, 1933, she married the boxer Max Schmeling, with whom she performed in the film, Knock-out (1935).
She was portrayed by Britt Ekland in the television movie, Ring of Passion (1978), where the character was named "Amy Ondra Schmeling." She was also portrayed by Peta Wilson in another television movie Joe and Max (2002).
Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Canary Sedan(1958). Cast: Jessica Tandy and Murray Matheson.
Laura Bowlby a psychic, who is has just recovered from an illness, now wants to join her husband in, Hong Kong.

Laura enters a beautiful garden, looking for the grave, of the woman who has been talking to her. She looks at the gravestone and is shocked when she sees the initials carved in the headstone. I loved seeing a younger Jessica Tandy, give a wonderful performance, in this fun/little cheesy film.
Murray Matheson, played The Clown in the 1961 Twilight Zone episode "Five Characters in Search of an Exit". Matheson's last performance was in the "Kick the Can" segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1985). His first feature film was a small role in 1945's "The Way to the Stars". Murray also played the captain in the Frank Sinatra film: "Assault on a Queen"(1966).

This film belongs to Leslie Brooks who steals the film. She is no Phyllis Dietrichson of Double Indemnity, she can kill off rich husbands herself, and when everything goes wrong, can frame her lover. Like the tag line says, "ICE in her veins, ICICLES in her heart"
I also remember her from the film "Cover Girl" (1945). She played the girl, who gave her tips on how to impress the editors.

Carole Landis dropped out of high school at age 15 and went on to a career in show business. She started out as a hula dancer in a San Francisco nightclub and later sang with a dance band.. She dyed her hair blond and changed her name to "Carole Landis" after her favorite actress, Carole Lombard. Her 1937 film debut was as an extra in A Star Is Born. She performed in bit parts until 1940 when Hal Roach cast her as a cave girl in One Million B.C.. The movie turned Carole into a star. A press agent nicknamed her "The Ping Girl" (because "she makes you purr"). Landis performed in many successful films in the early forties, usually as the second female lead. In a time when the singing of many actresses was dubbed in, Landis's own voice was considered good enough and was used in her few musical roles. Landis landed a contract with 20th Century Fox. She had roles playing opposite fellow pin-up girl Betty Grable in Moon Over Miami and I Wake Up Screaming, both in 1941. Carole Landis websight. FUN FACTS :
Actress Diana Lewis once gave Carole a gold cross as a gift. Carole wore the cross for the rest of her life and was even buried wearing it.

Surprised that the marriage works wonders for her health and she improves so much that he is forced to come up with a plan to murder her. You may think you know what happens next...but, do you?
The acting and cinematography are the typical 1950s low-budget film, but... there are plenty of good scenes, after a slow start.
Martha Vickers, started her career as a model for photographer William Mortenson. This attracted the interest of David O. Selznick and she signed a contract with him, but nothing came of it. Universal took over her contract where she played in bit parts in, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), Captive Wild Woman (1943) and The Mummy's Ghost (1944).
RKO gave her better parts in the films, Marine Raiders (1944) and The Falcon in Mexico (1944), but it was Warner Bros. that helped launch her career.. as Lauren Bacall's wild, sister Carmen in the film noir, The Big Sleep (1946). She landed the second femme lead in the musical, The Time, the Place and the Girl (1946). She continued on performing in the film noir, The Man I Love (1947) and the film, That Way with Women (1947).
She dated actor James Stewart and director Frederick De Cordova, Martha finally married producer A.C. Lyles in March of 1948, but the marriage was over within a couple of months. Post-war films included Love and Learn (1947), another film noir piece Ruthless (1948), and Bad Boy (1949), which was Audie Murphy's first starring role. She ended the decade with the film, Alimony (1949). Martha's second marriage to actor Mickey Rooney(1950) (she was his third wife) did not help her career. In fact, Martha was not seen in films at all during this time. The couple had a son, Teddy Rooney. Her marriage to Rooney would also be short-lived.
Martha married a third time in 1954 to Chilean polo player-turned-actor Manuel Rojas. She did return to the screen for the film, The Big Bluff (1955). The movie did nothing to help restart her film career. She performed on TV and performed in dramatic showcases. She and Rojas had two children, Tina and Tessa. In 1960, Martha did her last filming with the western Four Fast Guns (1960) and after guesting on a couple of episodes of the TV series "The Rebel," ended her career.

I thought this was another film treasure from the noir vault. Great work from Director Joseph Lewis, also known for, GUN CRAZY(1950). Cinematographer John Alton also did a wonderful job on this film. He photographed some of the most famous film noirs. He started out in Los Angeles as a lab technician in the 1920s, later becoming a cameraman. He moved to France with Ernst Lubitsch to film backgrounds for The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (1927) and ended up staying to head the camera department of Paramount Pictures's Joinville Studios. In 1932 he moved to Argentina where he shot many Spanish-language films and designed the country's first sound film studio for Lumiton and Argentina Sono Film. He returned to Hollywood in the late 1930s, with two dozen film credits, and became one of the most sought after cinematographers in American cinema. Alton was known for unconventional camera angles—especially low camera shots. His style is best known in the film noirs: He Walked by Night, The Big Combo, The Amazing Mr. X, T-Men, and Raw Deal. Alton also photographed many color movies including Slightly Scarlet.
