Who's David Agnew?

May 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Movies | No Comments

In the history of Doctor Who, there is one writer who seems to have disappeared into obscurity - despite writing two Tom Baker-era stories, little has been documented about him, nor has there been any critical discussion of his work.His name is David Agnew.Admittedly, he is a tough individual to track down - he is the BBC equivalent of Alan Smithee, a name that is used when a script editor (or as we Yanks say it, “show runner”) cannot/does not take credit for a script he/she has written. Which i

Puttin' on the Ritz!

May 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Photos | No Comments

The Ritz Brothers perform for a patriotic rally in 1951, I Am An American Day , not to be confused with Citizenship, or Constitution, Day (an actual Federal Holiday) which falls on September 17th each year and was formerly known as I am an American Day before becoming an official holiday in 2004. No, no, this was an entirely different patriotic rally. “Huh? What?” you ask. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the Ritz Brothers were old school entertainers. The kind who kept the show going e

Bill's Little Movie Experiment (Part One)

May 29, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Movies | No Comments

A month ago after my post about the movie I’m making next year, there were a couple of comments about how it sounded like fun and they wished they could be in the Bay Area to help… and within a few days John August posted about his abandoned web series THE REMNANTS, including all kinds of great cost information. I began this blog entry, then something got in the way and I’m just now getting back to it. If making a little movie really does sound like fun to you, why not consider making your

That's No Meter-Maid!

May 27, 2009 | Filed Under Public Domain Photos | No Comments

From the archives, a couple of candid shots of Rita Hayworth in July of 1951. I’m still waiting for Dante’s Inferno (1935) to be released on DVD. I saw it years ago on AMC, back before they degenerated into a poor man’s USA network (if it’s even possible for the USA network to have a poor man’s version). I recall liking it and have wanted to see it again for years. Rita has a small dancing part in it, billed as “Rita Cansino.”
