The Whole Town’s Talking (1935) starring Edward G. Robinson and Jean Arthur

February 7, 2010 By Cliff Aliperti 2 Comments

There’s a lot to like here for Edward G. Robinson fans who get to see their hero play both the milquetoast “Jonesy” and gangster “Killer” Mannion—sometimes in the same scene!

January 20, 2010 By Cliff Aliperti Leave a Comment

Well, I bet you’ve seen at least two Colin Clive movies, haven’t you?  I swear, when I was a kid bitten by the monster madness which was the first seed of my current love of classic movies Colin Clive was bigger to me than Gable, Cagney, or any other leading man of the period.  C’mon, […]

Edward Arnold in Diamond Jim (1935)

March 7, 2007 By Cliff Aliperti

Just watched Diamond Jim (1935) and figured I’d post a quick comment since it only has a total of 44 votes on the IMDb. Frankly, I’m surprised it has that many, because I’ve been looking for a copy for the past 5 or 6 years, ever since I realized that Edward Arnold’s boisterous laugh manages […]

Praise for Helen Twelvetrees, Perfect Ingenue

Recommended BooksJames L. Neibaur of Examiner.com calls it: "One of the most interesting and important film books of the young year," adding, "the documentation is original and significant." Full review.

Recommended BooksJacqueline T. Lynch, author of Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer.Star., says: "A prime example of a classic film fan taking the reins to produce a scholarly study of a neglected figure from the Golden Age of classic films in a way that I feel is refreshing, infinitely helpful to fans and students of old movies." Full review.

Recommended BooksSilver Screenings says: "A fascinating account of an ambitious and hard-working woman ... Aliperti’s book is well written and incredibly well researched." Full review.

Recommended BooksSpeakeasy says: "Despite her decline, this is not a sad or bleak book but an enjoyable history ... Any fan of the collectible Citadel “Films of” book series will appreciate the modern twist on that format, a full biography followed by an expanded filmography." Full review.

Recommended BooksA Classic Movie Blog says: "I think this is a good format for performers with short lives and brief careers ... I went into it with only mild curiosity about Twelvetrees and now I find my self pining for copies of unavailable, but intriguing films." Full review.

Helen Twelvetrees, Perfect Ingenue is available in paperback or Kindle edition at Amazon.com.
