Amelia Earhart, the great pioneer aviatrix, has been impersonated on screen by numerous actresses, among them Katharine Hepburn, Rosalind Russell, Diane Keaton and Amy Adams. But never as convincingly as she is by Hilary Swank in this immensely enjoyably biopic from the Indian director who made her name with Salaam Bombay! . With the right short haircut, some orthodontic effects and sporting her regular...

By now, you've had your fill of ghosts, goblins, and things that go bump in the night. You've cleaned up pumpkin guts, peeled off your skin along with your spirit gum prosthetics, hoping OxyClean gets fake blood stains out of your carpet. You need a movie with class, wit, and Cary Grant. You need Howard Hawks' classic His Girl Friday , which is playing right now on SlashControl. There's nothing I...

In the classic American movie “His Girl Friday” starring Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant much of the action is in the press room of a prison in the hours before an execution. We see the newspapermen (and the lone woman played by Rosalind Russell) call in stories to their rewrite people – stories that the newspapermen have totally fabricated, having neither ventured from the comfort...

If pressed to single out my favourite decade for modern fashion, it would be the 1940s. There was such a variety among the collections for women that were smart and stylish when worn with a swagger by Bette Davis, Rita Hayworth, Rosalind Russell, Jane Greer, Gene Tierney, Gloria Grahame and Ava Gardner. But this billboard for Littlewoods featuring models in the era's look seem a bit cartoonish. Particularly...

OK, I'll grant that Cary Grant (ne Archibald Leach) was Hollywood's handsomest leading man -- and for the long span between the early screwball comedies (playing opposite Katharine Hepburn, Irene Dunne, and Rosalind Russell) and the later thrillers (with leading...
