FYI....... synopsis: A female thief poses as a maid to bilk her high-society employers. "Reception The New York Times critic, Mordaunt Hall, gave the film a lukewarm review, praising the acting of Bebe Daniels, while not being as kind to Ben Lyon. Overall, he said the film, "... has not been handled with the subtlety and smoothness it deserves. Nevertheless, up to a certain point, it is a production that holds the interest, but what should have been the main idea is sacrificed for a more obvious turn of events."[5] Notes This is the first film in which Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon co-starred. They were married a short time afterwards, in June 1930, and the two remained married until her death in 1971.[3][6] The play from which this screenplay was adapted, The Chatterbox, does not appear to have ever been produced.[2] The film was a remake of the 1925 FBO silent film, Smooth as Satin, starring Evelyn Brent and Bruce Gordon, and directed by Ralph Ince....." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_French_Gertie

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay shares her favorite classic films "........part of the reason for having a filmmaker like DuVernay collaborate for the series is because of the unique perspective she’d bring as a black woman filmmaker. And she did not disappoint. DuVernay programmed documentaries, first features and important films by black filmmakers like Julie Dash, who directed and produced the groundbreaking film “Daughters of the Dust.” She also included works from female directors like the late Agnes Varda’s first film “La Point Courte” and Chantal Akerman’s “The Meetings of Anna”; international films that had a profound effect on her, like Satyajit Ray’s debut “Pather Panchali”; and important landmarks in representation, like “Sounder” and “Claudine.” “People who love movies benefit from thinking globally about film — globally literally and globally figuratively,” Mankiewicz said.... https://apnews.com/7b0a74a2c80d4b1d9686dbe750629f2f?utm_medium=APEntertainment&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow

late tonight for Underground......... 4:15 AM (ET) C - 92 m comedy I Was a Teenage Zombie (1987) Synopsis: Teenaged vigilantes kill a drug pusher only to have him return as a zombie. Dir: John Elias Michalakias Cast: Michael Rubin , Steve McCoy , George Seminara . "... very low budget effort with some very mediocre acting, but with a lot of heart. It’s mostly a comedy and the horror elements are played for fun, but nonetheless the film is incredibly fast-paced and entertaining. Playing like a pure 80s teen drug/sex comedy, the boys are a hoot and you’re on their side every step of the way. ..." http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=232

NOthing wrong w/hearing differing perspectives.... -why I loved the world film series (w/weird British? host) they ran..... (remember that?)

Ben Mankiewicz‏Verified account @BenMank77 6h6 hours ago Yes! Breaking classic movie news. Working w/ @Ava - man, just listening to her discuss these films - was like a film course from a favorite teacher. @ava was challenging - not personally (exactly the opposite) - but critically. She will open up the manner you take in movies. @tcm

Terry Gilliam Has Finally Slain His Giant Released at last after decades of mishaps, the director’s latest film, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, will fascinate his fans—but might frustrate more casual viewers. "It’s hardly shocking that Terry Gilliam might see a bit of himself in Don Quixote. The director and Monty Python member has made a career of tilting at windmills, mounting ambitious film projects, such as Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, that are often plagued by studio meddling and budget overruns and end up feeling like implausible gambits. But for three decades, the giant that Gilliam could not slay was The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, a fourth-wall-breaking, loopily postmodern adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’s masterpiece. That the film exists, and is coming to limited theaters this weekend, feels like an achievement all on its own.... https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/04/man-who-killed-don-quixote-terry-gilliam-adam-driver-jonathan-pryce-review/587542/?utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_term=2019-04-19T13%3A37%3A41&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_source=twitter
