This led to star-of-the-month tributes to Rita Hayworth and Jack Lemmon, to screenings of rare early Frank Capra dramas, and to a fresh batch of underseen 1930s-40s B movies for viewers to discover and analyze. Lately, the network has been showing British films of the same period. Along with stars like Leslie Howard and Robert Donat, shining on their home turf, we've seen important oddities like the 1939 The Frozen Limits, featuring the Crazy Gang, the comedy sextet that...

He, in other words, is entitled to free burgers from the Dunster Street joint for the rest of his life.Four years ago, when Ehrlich was a freshman, b. good offered a lifetime supply of burgers to whoever best demonstrated that...
...Lario, 52, a former B-movie actress, is usually invisible on the public stage, rarely seen by her husband's side and keeping mum on the political issues of the day. But when she does speak up, Lario exercises her First Lady powers in another way: rather than try to bump up her husband's poll numbers with public charm or policy advice, she cuts him down with character attacks that stick in a way Berlusconi's many public critics wish they could match...
