In 1979 my parents took me to see the film, Starting Over , starring Burt Reynolds as a recently divorced man torn between his new girlfriend (Jill Clayburgh) and his ex-wife (Candice Bergen). I still adore this movie today, but I'm especially fond of it for introducing me to the wonderful Frances Sternhagen, who plays Burt's sister-in-law. She and her onscreen husband, Charles Durning, make a delightful...

I just learned, via Peter Nellhaus , of the passing of one of America's most obscure-but-talented directors, Paul Wendkos. Wendkos would be far better known today if his first film, the great low-budget noir, The Burglar (1956), were more readily available. The Burglar , an unabashedly arty film based on the David Goodis novel of the same name, starred Dan Duryea in the title role, and Jayne Mansfield...

November 9, 2009 Spyscribbler pointed me to a post about the royalty statements by a New York Times bestselling paperback original author. It's totally depressing, but a significant shot of reality. One of the things that's probably most interesting to me that's sort of new, is it's the first time I've ever heard anybody make a stab at comparing how much an author makes on a book compared to how much...
