The Original Caped Crusader

For all of the Batman fans out there. Original poster from the 1965 film A Study in Terror, in which Sherlock Holmes meets Jack the Ripper.

The film is available on DVD from Amazon:

A Study in Terror | Amazon (US)

A Study in Terror | Amazon (UK)

Oddly enough, the movie isn’t nearly as campy as its poster would suggest (still no match for Murder by Decree, though)

Reblogging for the Ellery Queen.

[The question is: why does Queen have a monocle instead of pince-nez? Philo Vance had the monocle.]

Edit: Pince-nez:

Come to think of it, Yeats has a quality about him that one might associate with EQ. [Here’s the website where I found the photo]

JACK NICHOLSON HITS ON JENNIFER LAWRENCE

i’m not much for “star culture* and whatnot, and i’m still not entirely sure what to make of Jennifer Lawrence (she’s been rather outspoken about her lack of appreciation for film history), but this post-show clip is FAR AND AWAY the best thing to come out of the whole Oscar debacle.

Blast from the past. This is an advertisement off the back of a 1943 issue of Life magazine (it was too big for my scanner, or else you could see that the top reads:

Have a “Coke”=”Good Winds have Blown You Here”)

—interesting glimpse of a time when corporate expansion and the War effort went hand in hand.

The Dead End kids terrorized the Angels with Dirty Faces set during shooting. They threw other actors off with their add-libbing, and once cornered costar Humphrey Bogart and stole his trousers. But they didn’t figure on James Cagney’s street-bred toughness. The first time Leo Gorcey pulled an add-lib on Cagney, the star stiff-armed the young actor right above the nose. From then on, the gang behaved.
