  • We Don't Need No Stinking Badges

  • Everybody Wants an Oscar

    A Hollywood Murder Mystery

  • The Unkindness of Strangers

    A Hollywood Murder Mystery

    Warner Brothers is getting it from all sides and Joe Bernardi seems to be everybody's favorite target. "A Streetcar Named Desire" is unproducible, they say. Too violent, too seedy, too sexy, too controversial and what's worse, it's being directed by ...

  • Eyewitness to Murder

    Go to New York? Not on your life. It’s a lousy idea for a movie. A two year old black and white television drama? It hasn’t got a prayer. This is the age of Cinemascope and VistaVision and stereophonic sound and yes, even 3-D. Burt Lancaster and ...

  • Has Anyone Here Seen Wyckham?

    Everything was going smoothly on the set of "The High and the Mighty" until the cast and crew returned from lunch. With one exception. Wiley Wyckham, the bit player sitting in seat 24A on the airliner mockup, is among the missing, and without Wyckham...
