Louise

1939, Movie, NR, 72 mins

Dull, slow-moving attempt at transferring opera to the screen has Moore as a seamstress saved from a life of shame by her father, Pernet. Good singing and performances are not good enough to hold audience interest for very long. Released in 1939, the promoters claimed at the film's London premiere that this was the first time grand opera had been transposed to the screen. A disappointing effort by the great director of silent epics, Gance. (In French; English subtitles.) leave a comment

Bill Paxton Is Feeling the Love

What's a fella to do when he has Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and (that's right, and) Ginnifer Goodwin for wives (other than invest in Hallmark stock, that is)? Big-screen star Bill Paxton talks with TV Guide about getting some real action as a Viagra-popping polygamist in HBO's new dramedy Big Love (Sundays at 10 pm/ET). TV Guide: You're a big-screen actor with a solid career who's never done a TV series. Why make the exception for Big Love? Bill Paxton: What I saw right away was that this was a brilliant way to take an alternative lifestyle as far out there as polygamy and use it as a prism to examine contemporary society and mores. read more
