I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself







Movie Morlocks' fantastic review of Hitchcock's underrated Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941), with Carole Lombard & Robert Montgomery.

















Equally fantastic essay on the intense and phenomenal I Want to Live! (1958) from the Film Noir Foundation's Noir City Sentinel.



















And a great post on the classic Ball of Fire (1941) by my new favorite film blogger.
