Apologies for not having a post up yesterday, folks. My excuse involves a midterm, an emergency surgery, and a three-part group project. I’ll spare you the details and instead just give you one of TMP’s monthly staples, the collection update! Here’s what I added to my DVD shelves and OH-related book collection in October.
FILMS
- The Garbo Silents Collection – From the TCM Archives collection
Includes the films Flesh and the Devil, The Mysterious Lady and The Temptress. Special features include commentary, a clip from the lost silent The Divine Woman, alternate endings for two of the films, photo montages, and a featurette about a TCM Young Film Composers Competition. - Ghost Ship (2002) – DVD
A bargain bin Halloween purchase. It isn’t a great film, but it’s one that I always enjoy re-watching.
BOOKS
- Everybody Kills Somebody Sometime: A Rat Pack Mystery by Robert J. Randisi
A Vegas mystery novel based on the Rat Pack. I read this from the library a few years ago and really enjoyed it. My mom picked up a copy for me at the book sale not knowing that I’d read it before — I think it’s the exact copy I checked out, a withdrawal from the library’s collection! - Forever Young: The Authorized Autobiography of Loretta Young by Joan Wester Anderson
Another library sale find! - The Good, The Bad, and Me by Eli Wallach
Another library sale find! - The Ice Cream Blonde by Michelle Morgan
Sent to me for review by the Chicago Review Press - The Pink Lady: The Many Lives of Helen Gahagan Douglas by Sally Denton
Another library sale find! - Humphrey Bogart by Nathaniel Benchley
Another library sale find!
Hope you’re feeling better and doing okay after surgery, Lindsey! If anything, you at least got some free ice cream out of the deal, right?

I did get some free ice cream! And I’m feeling mostly-better. But I think I’ll prefer to just buy my own ice cream in the future haha.
