Set in the 1920s, Has Anybody Seen My Gal? gets its name from the once-popular jazz song recorded by the California Ramblers in 1925. Loosely based upon the Eleanor Porter novel Oh Money! Money! (she was also the author behind Pollyanna), the 1952 jukebox musical comedy was given the full Technicolor treatment – a visual bee’s knees in Kino Lorber’s sterling release.
The Universal Pictures title makes good use of Twenties tunes such as ‘Tiger Rag,’ ‘When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along,’ ‘It Ain’t Gonna Rain No More,’ ‘Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?’ - and of course, ‘Has Anybody Seen My Gal?’. It was directed by studio regular Douglas Sirk, who would go on to make his name with lush, slyly ironic melodramas such as Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind (all with Rock Hudson), There's Always Tomorrow,...

Torres has released a new song, “Thirstier,” the title track from her next album, out July 30th on Merge.
“Thirstier” is a classic exercise in soft-loud dynamics, with Torres guiding the twinkling, atmospheric verses into explosions of guitars, drums, and, toward the end of the song, some blazing trumpets. “Baby, keep me in your fantasies,” bellows Torres’ Mackenzie Scott, “Baby, even though you live with me/The more I look, the more I see/As long as I’m around I’ll be looking for nerves to hit/The more of you I drink,...

Torres has announced her new album Thirstier, the follow-up to 2020’s Silver Tongue. The singer born Mackenzie Scott also shared the LP’s first single “Don’t Go Puttin Wishes in My Head” ahead of Thirstier’s July 30th release on Merge Records.
Recorded at Middle Farm Studios in the U.K. during the pandemic in fall 2020, Thirstier’s tracks are tailored for “post-plague celebration.” “I wanted to channel my intensity into something that felt positive and constructive, as opposed to being intense in a destructive or eviscerating way,” Torres said in a statement.

Christian Bale and Matt Damon lend serious star power to James Mangold's explosive racing drama, Ford v Ferrari.
James Mangold has made more than a few movies about tough guys in tough situations going the distance.

And now it's hitting the race track in Ford v Ferrari, a new high-octane racing drama that's based on a true story. One which reunites him with Bale and also teams him with Matt Damon, no less. Here is what you need to know.

Ten years after collaborating on Of Mice and Men (1939), a critical hit and now a classic, but a commercial disappointment at the time, Lewis Milestone once more adapted John Steinbeck's material to the screen. The studio was Republic, a B-movie output that occasionally tackled artsier material as a way of attracting big talent (Ford's The Informer, Welles's Macbeth, Borzage's Moonrise). The combination of writer and director drew stars Robert Mitchum and Myrna Loy in this case, to a story about a boy and his pony in which the pair of them are really supporting players, and in which they have no romance together.
The Red Pony may have been intended as some kind of "children's western." It has been decorated with animated inserts and fantasy sequences to add a sense of childish make-believe to the quite gritty tale of life on a Californian ranch. Confusingly, the animation has also...

Sandy Dennis tries to overcome her loneliness in That Cold Day in the Park.
Sandy Dennis (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) stars as a wealthy and mentally disturbed spinster who goes to extraordinary lengths to assuage her loneliness in the 1969 drama That Cold Day In The Park, a seldom-screened film directed by Robert Altman (3 Women) that is now seeing its first-ever release on DVD and Blu-ray.
On a cold, rainy Vancouver day, Frances (Dennis) encounters a shivering blond youth (Michael Burns) sitting alone on a park bench.

Frances eventually attempts to seduce him and the boy soon...
