  • Another list with the same mistake. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp was directed (and written and produced) by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Michael Powell was always insistent the Emeric got equal billing and equal credit for their co-productions.

  • Meg Foster Discusses Leading The Lords of Salem
    Meg Foster Discusses Leading The Lords of Salem Looking at actor Meg Foster’s resume brought on a feeling of disbelief for me. I know her as a sci-fi and horror genre icon.
