October 1, 2014 By Cliff Aliperti 8 Comments

Janet Leigh 1950s Florita Screen Artists

Preview and recommendations for October 2014 on Turner Classic Movies. Janet Leigh is Star of the Month and horror movies play throughout the month, but not any of the Universal classics. Highlights include mini-marathons of movies starring Tom Keene, Richard Dix, Sally Blane, and Lowell Sherman, plus films from producer William Le Baron and director John Francis Dillon.

Maureen O'Hara 1955 Kane Products Trading Card

TCM recommendations for July 2014 with emphasis on the Golden Age titles showing on Turner Classic Movies throughout the month. Maureen O’Hara is Star of the Month but I like the World War I spotlight best this month. Plus birthdays for Ginger Rogers, Barbara Stanwyck, James Cagney, even C. Aubrey Smith and additional marathons of Kay Francis and Mae West movies.

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.
