We, sadly, have not. That was something we missed on a trip to Paris many years ago, even though there was much else to enjoy. We were reminiscing about that trip the other day when we re-watched the Doris Day musical April in Paris (1952). Day stars as a chorus … Continue reading → ## [A Lesser-Known Hitchcock Film: Number 17 (1932)](https://silverscreenings.org/2026/07/30/a-lesser-known-hitchcock-film-number-17-1932/) _2026-07-31 · Silver Screenings · Silver Screenings_ Well, here’s something we never saw coming: An Alfred Hitchcock movie that doesn’t quite hang together.

Life has been a little tight financially, which means I haven't made it out to a theater yet. As much as I'd love to pretend I'm mysteriously "curating the perfect comeback," the truth is that movie tickets cost money, and rent insists on being paid first. Rude. That said, the first film I'll be seeing… ## [Western Cinema Week: When the Daltons Rode (1940)](https://silverscreenings.org/2026/06/25/western-cinema-week-when-the-daltons-rode-1940/) _2026-06-25 · Silver Screenings · Silver Screenings_ If you’re in the mood for a good ol’ fashioned Western, here’s a dilly for you.

There are some legendary films from the 1970s, but also some productions that are tiresome in their self-importance. One film that falls into the latter category is The Revolutionary (1970), starring Jon Voight as an idealistic university student/ladies’ man who wants to change society in the gentlest … Continue reading → ## [How to Take Revenge on Your Fiancé](https://silverscreenings.org/2026/05/06/how-to-take-revenge-on-your-fiance/) _2026-05-06 · Silver Screenings · Silver Screenings_ The best thing about 1930s screwball comedies is the practical solutions they offer for everyday problems. Look at A Bride for Henry (1937). Not only is it an excellent guide for choosing a marriage partner, it has useful advice on getting back at your fiancé. Before we delve further into this business of revenge, there are a few prerequisites: Such … Continue reading → ## [Install Manifest V3 Extension (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/nZwUEDAWUo1l) _2026-05-06 · **Sponsored**_ Get this Manifest V3 extension from the official TronBrowser Store listing. ## [Meet Me In The Lobby Is Renovating (yeah… we’re under construction)](https://meet-me-in-the-lobby.blogspot.com/2026/04/meet-me-in-lobby-is-renovating-yeah.html) _2026-04-23 · Unknown · MEET ME IN THE LOBBY_ So here’s the thing. I haven’t been writing. Not because I don’t care—but because life got… a lot. I’m in grad school right now for Television, Film, and Media Studies, and it’s no joke. Papers, research, screenings, trying to have a life on top of that—it gets hectic fast. And somewhere in that, this blog started to feel like one more thing I had to “keep up with.” And I didn’t want that. Because… ## [How to Turn Someone’s Hope into a Commodity](https://silverscreenings.org/2026/04/22/how-to-turn-someones-hope-into-a-commodity/) _2026-04-23 · Silver Screenings · Silver Screenings_ We just discovered a new (to us) Barbara Stanwyck film, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Internes Can’t Take Money (1937) is a Depression-era film with themes of desperate hope and exploitation. It’s about fulfilling dreams by doing the grunt work it takes. A man studies to become a doctor; a woman searches for her lost child. … Continue reading → ## [Favorite of the Favorites: Nostalgia on the Diamond](https://meet-me-in-the-lobby.blogspot.com/2025/10/favorite-of-favorites-nostalgia-on.html) _2025-10-02 · Unknown · MEET ME IN THE LOBBY_ Welcome back to Meet Me In The Lobby , where the films of August had one thing in common: sports. Homerun shenanigans, pom poms in unison, swimmers cutting through the water, and the cracking of football pads as underdogs charge the field.

Cars launched off ramps, skaters carved through the city, a pair of suited men tore across state lines with half the police force behind them, and at one point, I found myself watching a dozen lunatics in a mad dash for a bag of money. These weren’t quiet, contemplative watches.
