The sometimes painful truth about the Golden Age Of Hollywood, is that with each passing year, we move further and further away from it. Thankfully, our means of connecting to that time are numerous. We can watch the films. We can look at the history and pass along the stories of these pioneers. Or, if we want to take a shortcut to Old Hollywood via the senses, we can always glance across at Hollywood’s oldest surviving star, safe in the knowledge of its constancy. This is one Hollywood...

Attaboy Clarence returns, and to usher in the summer let's step into the shadows with two fine examples of Golden Age thrillers that bear more than a passing resemblance to the work of The Master Of Suspense - one tells the tale of a blind playwright who overhears a most diabolical plot, and the other is the twisted story of a murderous couple with very different ideas about the outcome of their relationship...
