Welcome to the world of Jean Grémillon, where adult characters work through adult problems without benefit of melodramatic excess. The impressively directed experiences of Micheline Presle’s lady doctor on a storm-swept island opts for a progressive point of view, not sentimentality.

In Woody Allen's most recent whimsical screen romance, young American couple Gill and Inez (Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams) find themselves in Paris, the city of Gill's creative, romantic and all-pervading fantasies. Trouble is, all of Gill's aspirations are based on the city of the 1920s and, fair enough, could there be any time and place more glamorous or evocative?
This is solved, in typical Woody Allen fashion, by Gill's transportation, via a stylish vintage jalopy, into the 1920s of his dreams and encounters with a bunch of iconic characters, sent to guide, advise and distract our contemporary wanderer.

Garfield was a Warner Bros. star and Warners' movies belong to the Time Warner library; in other words, his films are always available. In fact, I believe the only John Garfield movie that has never been shown on TCM is 20th Century Fox's 1950 drama Under My Skin. [John Garfield Movie Schedule.] Much like Warners' James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Errol Flynn, Garfield was a tough guy at a tough studio. Come to think of it, even Warners' women were tough: Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Joan Blondell, Aline MacMahon, Glenda Farrell, and, off screen, Olivia de Havilland and Joan Leslie (both of...
