Interviews with Classic Film Writers:
These are a few of my favorite posts on the entire site. I read a book, somehow make contact with the author and then have the gall to ask them if I can shoot some questions over about their work. I want more of these.
- Interview with Ricardo Cortez Biographer Dan Van Neste

- Interview with Glenda Farrell Biographer Scott Allen Nollen
- Ann Dvorak Biographer Christina Rice on Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel

- Interview with Classic Images’ Laura Wagner about her new book
Again, I want more of these–if you have anything classic film related published in book form feel free to get a hold of me for an interview post like those above. I do have to actually read your book to do this, so be sure to have a copy ready to send me if it’s something I don’t already own.
Thanks for the Kind Words!

Cliff’s Video Reviews:
I’ve got to be in the right mood to do one of these, plus have a clean shirt and not too much of a beard. I’m terribly inconsistent in creating videos, though if you ever see a new one pop up be ready for a few more to immediately follow before I tire of the format again.
