Famous people feel that they must perpetually be on the crest of the wave, not realising that it is against all the rules of life. You can't be on top all the time, it isn't natural.

The 1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood offers Errol Flynn at the top of his swashbuckling hero game and Basil Rathbone in super-villain mode. With spectacular visuals and dynamic pacing. The definitive Robin Hood movie. Great stuff.

Olivia de Havilland, George Tobias and Ida Lupino in a spoof musical number from “Thank Your Lucky Stars” (1943). Humphrey Bogart was originally slated to do the number with Ida and Olivia, but scheduling of their various other movies prevented that.

Life magazine wrote "It's no place for a lady like Olivia" but its star, Miss De Havilland, considered it an important depiction "of the ruthless violence of our era". Now, 'Lady in a Cage' (1964) holds up as one of the great overlooked modern horror films.

Check out "Caged Heat: No Way to Treat a 'Lady'", our latest feature by Steven West.

#MyCousinRachel - I've watched this movie many times over years, and it is certainly an excellent movie. Top notch EVERYTHING. But, the more I watch, the more I fall into the mesmerizing spell that is #OliviaDehavilland . That voice--- it's like #voodoo. Soothing, sucking you in. Syrupy as the sweetest sugar--- deadly as a cobra. She used it as well in #HushHushSweetCharlotte, GWTW, so, so many more. Of course a speaking voice, not singing voice. That's a whole different vibe. Just looking at her -- she oozes manipulation. What a talent. #ClassicHolllywood

I am well aware Bette Davis did not mince words, but this passage in a ‘65 interview with her and ODH had me clutching my chest like I was dying of a heart attack.

Fun was had tonight at the #cinemamuseum, as we dissected #camp in #BeyondtheForest and #QueenBee.
I had my #JeanineBasinger book as a good luck charm. I'd highly recommend it. Such a great idea! Reading it one can imagine the likes of #BetteDavis #OliviadeHavilland #IrvingRapper and co just sitting round a table and talking about #Hollywood.
