www.dailymail.co.uk, April 6, 2024
BRIAN VINER: If I compiled my list again today, I still wouldn't have space for The Italian Job, Forrest Gump, The Great Escape, or Titanic, which all of which encouraged readers to write in. By the way, that doesn't mean I don't like or even love those photos (although not Titanic), which makes me wish the iceberg would strike a bit sooner). Here is a list of the Top 20 movies you should have included in my Top 100 list, as well as your reasons for... The Shawshank Redemption (left), Mary Poppins (right), and Saving Private Ryan (inset).

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS discusses Holly Willoughby's debut on Midsomer Murders, not necessarily Bette Davis in her prime

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 28, 2023
Holly Willoughby has a lot to hear about making a grand entrance. Instead of sweeping down a staircase as Bette Davis, or even emerging from the sea in a bikini a la Ursula Andress, she merely coughed and said, 'Excuse me.' No wonder feng shui expert Felix (Tristan Sturrock) stunned her imperiously, holding her hand to her face as he bored DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) at a psychic fayre in Midsomer Murders (ITV). Excuse me,' isn't very quotable in an opening line. Holly, who has been waiting for a cameo in her favorite film, doesn't have to be concerned about fans screaming it out like a catch in the streets.

That's the hysteria of growing old in showbiz, if you're a woman

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 19, 2023
Hollywood actresses were considered over the hill at 30, 'washed up old b*tches,' in Jack Warner's insulting term, and they were left with no alternative but to deny their pride and play variations of Miss Havisham in her rotting wedding dress. Just pulchritude ensured major gains, according to the studio's chieftains. The film historian Caroline Young explains how the no-longer-youthful actors were traditionally portrayed as 'the old crone in a creepy house' in her elegant and polemical book (bottom right). They'd be put in wheelchairs and surrounded by cats, whether they be killed by nees or homicidal rabbits. One example of this is the 1962 film, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Bette Davis and Joan Crawford (left in character) are 'forgotten relics and bizarre caricatures of the women they once were'. Bette (left in top right picture) dresses in little-girl frocks and white clown make-up. On a silver platter for dinner, Joan (right in top right picture) is shackled in an iron cot and served with a rat.
