For all you #JamesBond fans out there; #bbcradio3 has Puccini's Tosca from The Royal Opera tonight at 6PM. The background setting for 2008’s Quantum of Solace Opera sequence.
Worth a listen, although “Tosca isn’t for everyone.”: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

They don’t come anymore wicked than Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady (1945), on today @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social, 2:45pm.
To be honest, I can’t stand most of Gainsborough Pictures’ period films, but this one is a classic. Edited by future Hammer legend Terence Fisher by the way.

Another item picked up during Giornate Del Cinema Muto this year was Lea Jacobs’ most recent book, John Ford at Work: Production Histories (1927-1939). There is a fascinating chapter from the outset about Ford and Murnau at Fox. Highly recommend. #Pordenone #SilentFilm

Great to meet up with @www.johnbleasdale.com at this year’s Giornate Del Cinema Muto in #Pordenone. Could’ve spent the entire day just talking about film books in general to be honest.
