For the Ladies – I Married a Monster from Outer Space

October 26th, 2012 | POSTED BY Adelaide Blair

While not what we typically think of as a “Woman’s Picture,” I Married a Monster from Outer Space is an interesting exploration of women’s fears about marriage in 1950s America. It’s a 1958 horror/science fiction movie directed by Gene Fowler Jr., and is a great…

Bird Watching – Ruba Nadda’s “Cairo Time”

October 9th, 2012 | POSTED BY Brandi Sperry

Of the many reasons I wish I’d been in attendance at the Toronto Film Festival last month, the wide variety of films by women that were shown and celebrated is at the top. Six of the festival’s twenty gala presentations were for films directed by…

For the Ladies – The Hard Way (1943)

August 30th, 2012 | POSTED BY Adelaide Blair

Heterosexual romance often takes center stage in movies targeted to the ladies, but can also take a back seat to a more central female relationship. Portrayals of friendship are an important part of the women’s picture, but so are depictions of rivalry and duplicity. Add…

An Appreciation – Rear Window

August 20th, 2012 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

If someone who has never seen a Hitchcock film asked me to recommend the one they should see first, I would pick Rear Window (1954). Not only is it highly entertaining and full of well-developed suspense, but it also incorporates everything that made Alfred Hitchcock…
