Halloween. Brown hair, brown coat, brown wall.

This insane L.A. heat has put me & my friend's dog in a somnambulant tongue trance.

The fantastic Billy Barty. No, he's not about to stab Donald Sutherland in the neck, he's adding his singular Barty-ness to Berkeley's "Pettin' in the Park" number in Goldiggers...We could all use a little more Barty in our lives..

Ann Dvorak & Raquel Torres by Clarence Sinclair Bull. The quintessence of sexy-cute.

Palance & Mostel in Kazan's Panic in the Streets. Perfect double bill w/ Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans. Palance even imitates a crocodile and lizard...

Robert Ryan & Claudette Colbert! Secret Fury! Alas, missed most of it on TCM. Love the Danish poster.

I love how she brushes his hair...

@EXCALIBUR1975 @SunsetGunShots what car are you driving these days? -- This car.

One of my favorite photos & photographers -- the brilliant O. Winston Link: ‎"Hot Shot Eastbound, at the Iaeger Drive-In. W.V." 1956.

Frances Day. Understandably lusted after by Eleanor Roosevelt. Also inspired George Bernard Shaw to write one of his last plays for her...among her many other accomplishments.

White wolf, red lips. Shot by Guy Maddin. (For those without FB)

Holler at me. Fine. But Rip Torn is just too glorious to go to jail. He gets a pass. Nicholas Ray & Marilyn Chambers would agree.

Evil does lurk in California. But was Lee Marvin really afraid?

Hair.

Hot White Heat. Happy Birthday James Cagney.

Catherine Deneuve, producer Eugene Gutowski & who is the other young, brilliant fella? Hint. He is now a free man.

Eleanor Parker understandably freaked out in CAGED. They will allow Miss Parker her ciggie. Thank goodness.

Love for one of the greatest American directors & great Americans: Samuel Fuller. He understood America the beautiful, America the ugly. America the savage, America the sweet. America the unfair, intolerant, criminal, corrupt, sexy, sexist, romantic, pulpy, dark, complicated. He *got* it.

Here's some damn firecrackers. Someone didn't appreciate their patronage so much. The American way.
