The month in blogging:

May’s featured “Favorite Things” film was a weepy one, Douglas Sirk’s All That Heaven Allows, starring Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson.

Adding to the blog’s everlasting exploration of films adapted from books, I shared a review of James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity, which of course serves as the source material for a fantastic film of the same name, starring Barbara Stanwyck.

Speaking of noir and adaptation, I covered another type this month as well: the remake. I watched 1984’s Against All Odds and compared it to its predecessor, Out of the Past (1947).

From my vintage mag collection, I shared Picturegoer magazine’s insights on the supposed “film famine” of 1938.
