The Arthur Freed MGM musical unit gives this 1927 musical remake the old College Try! It’s a vehicle for the wartime sweetheart June Allyson, aided by Peter Lawford, who is quite good if not real musical material. The fun original tunes are joined by a couple of new ones, including an all-time terrific song & dance number staged by Robert Alton and performed by the incredible Joan McCracken. The new restoration does wonders with the 1947 Technicolor and the Wac adds hilarious, eye-opening musical excerpts from the crazy 1930 early talkie version with Penny Singleton. Good news indeed. With Patricia Marshall, Mel Tormé and Tommy Rall.

For nearly 94 years, since it began as the Wsm Barn Dance in the fall of 1925, the Grand Ole Opry has been a country-music institution. But few fans really know what the Opry is, how an artist is inducted, and what comes along with membership.
As Ken Burns’ new documentary Country Music sparks renewed interest in the Opry, we take a look back at its rich, colorful history, recalling some of its most iconic moments and spelling out what it takes to become a cast member of the longest-running radio show in American history.

Happy Swamp Thing Day! The torches that were lit by the late Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson will burn on forever. Swamp Thing Winter Special #1 was written by Tom King and illustrated by artist Jason Fabok, and it leads today's Comics Corner. We also have a look at two covers for 30 Days of Night #3, The Gravediggers Union #4, The Walking Dead #176, Crypt of Horror #35, four preview pages from Coyotes #4, Extremity #11, and Rose #8. Flashback specials include: Rapture #1 and Dead of Winter #1.
Swamp Thing Winter Special #1: My interview with Tom King had to be canceled, but his signing at Third Eye Comics last Saturday was incredible. The turnout was huge and the comic shop had early copies of Swamp Thing Winter Special #1, so I got a look at King's story and Len Wein's original script and Bernie Wrightson's artwork. This is something you don't want to miss. Trust me, friends!

Balletic, stylized and rather aloof, MGM’s biggest musical for 1954 still has what musical lovers crave — good dancing, beautiful melodies and unabashed romantic sentiments. Savant has a bad tendency to fixate on the inconsistencies of its fantasy concept — in which God places an ideal Scottish village outside the limits of Time itself.
