EYE WITNESS , a relatively little-known mystery starring Robert Montgomery, comes to DVD on February 23, 2010. The movie was made in England and was titled YOUR WITNESS in the UK. It's being released as the 13th entry in VCI's Forgotten Noir series. EYE WITNESS is part of a double feature set which also includes the 1952 film BREAKDOWN. I've read a couple brief reviews indicating that EYE WITNESS is...
I was born in 1981, roughly the same time that video was becoming popular. I missed the revolution though, the sudden availability to movie fans (albeit often in rather compromised form, thanks to 'pan and scan') of their enduring favourite movies (and, yes, an endless cavalcade of crap too). Generations prior to mine will remember a time when the only way to see movies again was on TV, and before...
Robert Montgomery and Joan Crawford in Lette Lynton. The white cotton organdy gown by Adrian , real name Adrian Adolph Greenberg, is one of his most famous and influential designs. A copy of the dress was mass produced to help promote the film and over half-a-million were sold at Macy's. I can just imagine a depression era housewife assuring her husband that the dress is an investment, or just perfect...

Just about a year ago I reviewed the terrific pre-Code LETTY LYNTON, a romantic crime drama starring Joan Crawford and Robert Montgomery. As detailed in my original review -- click the title of this post to read it -- LETTY LYNTON has a long, tangled legal history which has to date prevented it from being released on DVD or video. Whatever the original issues were, over 75 years on it's just not right...
Of all the actors who have played Philip Marlowe, Robert Montgomery in "Lady in the Lake" (1947) counts as my least favourite. I'm digging the classics that are up on YouTube posted in ten minute clips. I watched this one last night. The camera work presents Marlowe's point of view through his sight line which seems too gimmicky, while it also empties the leading man of all personality and...
Until roughly three years ago, I'd only seen three Robert Montgomery movies: MR. AND MRS. SMITH (1941), THEY WERE EXPENDABLE (1945), and HERE COMES MR. JORDAN, which I saw at L.A.'s Vagabond Theater as a teenager. Over the last three years I've seen 30 additional Montgomery movies, and he's become one of my favorite actors. Tonight I revisited HERE COMES MR. JORDAN for the first time in many years....

Go away. Why won't you leave? What is it about me that beguiles you, so that you seem incapable of turning away and heading downhill, even after I make express request that you do? Come on, now, go on. What are you waiting for, your mother's dinner call? Oh, I see, you want a reading before you go. Hmmmph. Is that all I'm good for, to you? What a relief! This means that you'll be going away as soon...

When Helen agrees to pay a blackmailer (Henry Daniell) in possession of letters which could...

Here are some examples. American Beauty: Lester Burnham has just about had it with his...
