Movie star of the day
Two - not one but two - movies are on TCM today with William Warren as the Lone Wolf. These are simply wonderful black & white films that are stylish, a bit mysterious, fairly well written, and just plain lots of fun. They're good enough in so many ways that they bear being watched and rewatched many times. As I have done to my great good fortune. If you've never seen Warren, he's an oddly unknown gem who made nearly 70 films and was both a terrific villain and a dashing leading man. How many actors can do all that? I can't figure out why people like George Clooney and Sean Penn are famous and Warren is not. Little of the Warren oeuvre (must use "oeuvre" when I can since it's so pretentious and so rarely the right word) is on DVD but it's often shown on TCM.

Enjoyed your thoughts on these movies. I've never seen any of the LONE WOLF movies, although fairly recently I taped one which costars Adele Mara, an actress I enjoy. It's still in my "TBW" (To Be Watched) stack. :) More good stuff to look forward to in future! Thanks for the tip --

Best wishes,
Laura
