I'm a fun-loving Sagittarian who now lives in Carmel, Calfornia after living in Scotland for over six years. I'm a hopeless trivia fanatic who also enjoys Soft Rock, Folk and Swing music, New Age thinking - namely astrology & creative visualization - and camping whenever possible.......I also relish watching a WIDE variety of videos - I'm a hopeless Classic Cinema freak. As a weird pastime, I enjoy researching for trivial nooks-and-crannies concerning these visual delights via reference books we have purchased over the years. Perhaps I'm a reincarnated ham poison pen critic out for revenge! At any rate, since I essentially write these simple reviews for fun and relaxation - rather like a newly found hobby - I can only hope that they give other readers/viewers a bit of helpful insight. Blessings, Heath McEwan.

DeeDee Wright was fun! This seemingly forgotten lady was Tommy Dorsey's foremost female vocalist from 1935-1939. Because this CD is the ONLY one on the market which features the best of Edythe Wright, fans of Tommy Dorsey/Thirties Swing will be enthralled! Granted, DeeDee's voice wasn't beautiful in the vein of say Helen Forrest's, but it was very pleasant on the ears nevertheless. Some of her better-known recordings are: her lovely 1936 rendition of "Star Dust", "The Lady is a Tramp", "The Dipsy Doodle", "There's Frost on the Moon", "At the Codfish Ball", "Nice Work if You Can Get It", "Everybody's Doing It" and… Lire la suite

For those who cherish those Bette Davis Golden Oldies as I do, you'll not want to be without this CD. All her most memorable film scores are here: Warner's fanfare introduces the exquisite "It Can't Be Wrong/Charlotte's Theme" from "Now, Voyager", Steiner's poignantly haunting score for "Dark Victory" the suitably regal score for "All About Eve" by Alfred Newman and the instantly recognizable theme for "A Stolen Life" - again by Max Steiner. Korngold's score for "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex" is fine as are the various scores for "Deception", "The Letter" and "All This, and Heaven Too" & "In This Our Life". When Davis made "Dark Victory" she was a bit "upstaged" by Max… Lire la suite

While this book isn't by any means a definitive biography about the legendary Bette Davis - nor does it pretend to be - it's actually more fun to read than many books about Bette, because it reveals many facets of Davis's complex personality and fun tidbits which one doesn't find in other books written about this celebrated lady. Roy Moseley was introduced to the world of Bette Davis movies via his mother - who was a fan - as a boy and grew to admire her so much that he made it a point to know her personally - a feat he accomplished! There are various anecdotes in the book which are refreshing, surprising and funny: seems Bette was a most contradictory woman who could be extremely… Lire la suite
