Around the Blogosphere This Week
Miscellaneous bits of news and fun stuff from around the internet......Last week I shared information on the films for this June's Last Remaining Seats movie series sponsored by the L.A. Conservancy. Guests have now been announced, including Leonard Maltin and Jennifer Grant, daughter of Cary Grant.
...Speaking of Leonard Maltin, he has a short review of the new book by James Curtis on Buster Keaton.
...The Film Foundation and Turner Classic Movies have partnered on a restoration of GIANT (1956) which will be shown at next week's TCM Classic Film Festival. Elizabeth Taylor is seen here in a still from the film.
...Please note there will not be an Around the Blogosphere roundup on Saturday, April 23rd, when I will be at the TCM Classic Film Festival. I currently anticipate my next roundup to be Saturday, April 30th. It's a hectic few weeks so if that changes I will update here as we go along.
..."Coming soon" to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics: William Wyler's COUNSELLOR-AT-LAW (1933) and Bob Hope in two films, NEVER SAY DIE (1939) and SORROWFUL JONES (1949).
...At Out of the Past Raquel Stecher has reviewed an interesting new documentary, FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN (2022), about the making of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971). It's from Daniel Raim who also made two very good documentaries I've reviewed here, HAROLD AND LILLIAN: A HOLLYWOOD LOVE STORY (2015) and IN SEARCH OF OZU (2018).
...Aurora has an interesting interview with TCM Classic Film Festival director Genevieve McGillicuddy at Once Upon a Screen.
...Last week I shared a number of links of various film bloggers' proposed TCM Festival schedules. Here are more from KC at Watching Classic Movies and Jessica at Comet Over Hollywood. Update: And here are lists from Annette at Hometowns to Hollywood and Raquel at Out of the Past.
...This weekend's roundup is quite short as I am spending most of the weekend in Hollywood, attending the Noir City Hollywood Festival and visiting with friends. Posts on the festival will be coming as soon as time permits!
...For additional recent links of interest to classic film fans, please check out my April 9th roundup.

I heartily second Leonard Maltin's comments on James Curtis's Buster Keaton biography. It's a truly wonderful book, surely the final word on Keaton's life and career. And a lovely word it is too.
