Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Well, well, well. So, without a strict deadline I can’t be trusted as has been shown by that Sideshow Star Wars contest and my attempt at carrying the torch of A Movie A Day: Quint’s Watching.
As huge and prolific as A Movie A Day was, I still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of vintage film… In other words, my taste for classic cinema is piqued and I can’t stop now.
I figured if I’m going to have a weekly vintage film column, why not just lock in a day and make that my deadline. And if I’m going to truly carry on the AMAD legacy then why not acknowledge that?
So beginning Monday, April 27th A Movie A Week will be born. It’ll follow the same rules as A Movie A Day, but weekly instead of daily, which is too torturous of a schedule for me to continue without it hurting my other site work.
Additionally, this week leading up to the ribbon-cutting on the new column I’m going to run a throwback of A Movie A Day. I have never seen any of the Thin Man films, but I’ve heard nothing but great things about them. A few months back I picked up the box set, so I’m going to go through them this week and write up each one. The first review will hit today and that should have us covered up until Saturday.
The first title of A Movie A Week will be the Marilyn Monroe star vehicle HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE (1953), which will be jumping off from SONG OF THE THIN MAN, following William Powell over.
Stay tuned for my write-up of THE THIN MAN later today!
