Around the Blogosphere This Week
Miscellaneous bits of news and fun stuff from around the internet......Coming this fall from Running Press: An updated paperback edition of GEORGE HURRELL'S HOLLYWOOD: GLAMOUR PORTRAITS 1922-1995 by Mark Vieira, author of the recently reviewed WARNER BROS.: 100 YEARS OF STORYTELLING. I'll be reviewing it here.
...At Once Upon a Screen Aurora has written an interesting article on air conditioning in movie theaters. Perfect summer reading!
...Glenn Erickson's latest reviews include favorite NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES (1948), now available on a Region B Blu-ray from Powerhouse Indicator. New extras includes a commentary track by Farran Smith Nehme and Glenn Kenny.
...An interesting new book from McFarland: FORGOTTEN DISNEY: ESSAYS ON THE LESSER-KNOWN PRODUCTIONS. Thanks to Keith Buczak for making me aware of it.
...Coming soon to Blu-ray from Kino Lorber: TOPKAPI (1964) starring Peter Ustinov and Melina Mercouri.
...There's lots of info on the latest Warner Archive Collection Blu-rays at The Extras podcast. For anyone who missed it, so far I've reviewed one of those films, THE FASTEST GUN ALIVE (1956).
...Notable Passings: Actress Inga Swenson has passed away at the age of 90. Swenson worked on stage, screen and television; I knew her best as the matriarch of one of the families in TV's NORTH AND SOUTH (1985-86)...I was very sorry to learn of the death of Disney historian Jim Korkis, who had been unwell for some time. I've shared some of the articles he wrote for MousePlanet here over the years, and his book WHO'S AFRAID OF SONG OF THE SOUTH? AND OTHER FORBIDDEN DISNEY STORIES is on my Disney bookshelf.
