A DVD collection of Barbara Stanwyck’s lesser-known roles.
Most people either remember Barbara Stanwyck as the matriarch of the '60s television show The Big Valley or as the scheming femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson in the film noir classic Double Indemnity.

Friday, February 1st, 2008All sorts of new goodies for you this week.
Sorry for missing last week’s edition. Life conspired against me whenever I found time to write, so I was not able to gather any trailers and posters together for you.

Friday, February 1st, 2008
A small update today, due to time restraints. Traditionally the festival has a closing film that was announced just recently, knowing The Band’s Visit from Israel. Then there is also the surprise film scheduled for tonight. I know what it is, but let’s keep things fun and not tell.
