Looks like an old-fashioned variety hall bill from the 1950s or 1960s. Something for every taste. @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

Out on Thursday: Yours Retro's summer special includes a 28-page feature on Marilyn Monroe, plus I examine the troubled relationship between sibling stand-ups Mike and Bernie Winters. #journaiism #movies #television #comedy

It’s no possible concern of mine and maybe I’m just getting too old for this current culture, but the phrases “secretive ceremony“ and “at Madison Square Garden“ don’t strike me as an obvious fit.

Out today, July's Yours Retro features 'The Vamp & the Vampire', my article on #Hollywood sex symbol Clara Bow's brief but passionate affair with future #horror icon Bela Lugosi. #journalism #movies

Research for another magazine commission, this time concerning Al Pacino’s relationship with Diane Keaton. No doubt I could construct an article out of online gossip, hearsay and other #journalists’ conjecturing, but I always prefer the actual thoughts and memories of those present in the narrative.

A shrewd historian, Enoch Powell once suggested -- with rare exceptions (early death or a well-timed exit) -- all political lives end in failure. Keir Starmer took that axiom further: his reign in Downing Street also began in failure.

Latest additions to the gallery: Barbara Windsor, David Naughton. Regarding the latter, I had the pleasure of being humorously barracked by American Werewolf in London director John Landis, who felt my fellow judge and I had been too “tough” choosing the winner of a #movie prize he was presenting.
