TCM Classic Film Festival: The Tingler (Dir. William Castle, 1959)

May 27, 2011 by Kristen Sales

In the late 1950s, horror movie schlockmeister William Castle pioneered interactive in-theater gimmicks as a way to drum up audience cash (and buzzy word-of-mouth) at a time when television threatened to steal away the same moviegoers who had made the 1930s and ’40s boom years for the U.S. film industry.

TCM Film Festival: The Cameraman (Edward Sedgwick, 1928)

May 27, 2011 by Kristen Sales

My favorite part of watching silent movies is the variability of the experience depending on the format.

TCM Classic Film Festival: The Devil Is A Woman but Dietrich is a Goddess

May 8, 2011 by Kristen Sales

In The Devil is a Woman Marlene Dietrich’s eyes are constantly moving: searching, darting, batting flirtatiously. By their fifth and final film collaboration, Dietrich and director Joseph von Sternberg had perfected the formula for exotic, onscreen seduction: just keep the camera on Dietrich. As Concha Perez, an enterprising destroyer of men’s souls, Dietrich is as […]
