Laura
Tuesday, June 17, 2008: Laura, the 1944 movie classic starring Gene Tierney, is all about class. The sets, the costumes, the acting are all superb. I particularly love the outfits worn by Gene Tierney, designed by Bonnie Cashin. They're stylish 1940s clothes, but they don't look outdated. They're timeless. The same is true for the furniture and the art direction. A perfect movie.

Double Indemnity
Saturday, April 26, 2008: I just reacquainted myself with the 1944 movie Double Indemnity. It has long been one of my favorite film noir movies of all time. The acting is superb, the writing, the black and white cinematography as well as the great music score. Double Indemnity also has memories for me. When my mother got sick on July 9, 1994, I stayed up all night watching it on AMC. This great movie kept me company and helped me be brave and strong.
