In the quiet of night, a man awakes. The walls of his dull cell closing in on him. Faced with a sense of dread since daylight is still hours away, he plots his escape. Resist the darkness! he shouts to no one. You are alone! The future, a mirage, hidden by hurdles so high they [...]]]></description>

[Having been laid up with the flu, I have not had a chance to post anything new here in a while. But I've revised and corrected a previous article on Leopold and Loeb that I wrote back in the spring. Enjoy. -- Brooks]

Starved for some decent (or even indecent) reading material, I recently picked up a weathered old paperback copy of The Tallulah Bankhead Murder Case by one of my favorite writers, George Baxt. Re-reading Tallulah&#8217;s wild exploits as a celebrity sleuth during the heyday of the McCarthy witch hunt (with cameos by Lillian Hellman and Patsy [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it takes a warm cadaver for people to take notice of forgotten novelists. I had hoped that would happen with James Purdy, above (photo by Robert Giard), who died on Friday the 13th, this past March. But even though the New York Times honored him with a perfunctory obituary, few others in the media [...]]]></description>

Forget Bette Davis. Why isn&#8217;t there a song entitled &#8220;Raymond Burr&#8217;s Eyes&#8221;?
Recently I&#8217;ve been on something of a Perry Mason bender. Thanks to this no-good shoulder of mine, which makes writing and anything else for that matter, difficult, I&#8217;ve been on a woe-is-me TV watching binge. Being a couch-potato seems to be [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m on the road this week on my way to Austin, Texas. Since I neglected to bring anything to read with me, I thought I&#8217;d check out youtube and pore through some old videos. I happened to type in Alan Ladd (one of my favorite actors) and discovered that some kind soul has uploaded an [...]]]></description>

[NOTE: On hiatus in New York, researching a new project. Therefore, for the time being, I am resurrecting another older piece, this one about The Lodger, which seems very apt now since the new movie version by David Ondaatje, starring Simon Baker and Hope Davis, below, opens today.]

Every Halloween some jack o&#8217;lantern out there on the internet comes up with a new list of his ten favorite horror movies. I thought I&#8217;d give it a shot and do the same. But I could not limit myself to merely ten titles. You try it! So I&#8217;ve decided on my 50 faves, arranged alphabetically [...]]]></description>

Today, a new DVD of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the fabled 1945 version starring Hurd Hatfield and a deliciously evil George Sanders, is being released by Warner Home Video. Besides offering a quality transfer, it includes a new audio commentary from film historian Steve Haberman and Angela Lansbury, who played Sibyl Vane, as well [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s an old joke in certain theatre circles about how easy it is to confuse Chita Rivera with Rita Moreno and vice versa. Well, I feel the same way about Cornelia Otis Skinner and Ilka Chase. Both were witty and popular authors who occasionally acted in films. Both were the daughters of famous people.
