I'd like to shine the spotlight today on two fellow classic film bloggers and their splendid achievements: Raquel Stecher, and John Greco.
Raquel pens the Out of the Past blog, which is celebrating a ten-year anniversary. Have a look at her anniversary post here. I've been a regular reader of her blog for many years, and probably among my favorite posts are about her annual participation in the TCM Classic Film Fest. Her exploration of classic movies has brought her on a wonderful journey, which she shares with us with eloquence and enthusiasm.
John Greco, who writes the Twenty Four Frames blog likewise shares his passion and knowledge on classic film in very entertaining and informative posts, but John also has other talents: he is a professional photographer (you can peruse and purchase some of his work here at Fine Art America), and also a writer.
John's latest eBook is a collection of short stories called Devious Tales. With a decidedly noir streak and some very surprising endings, this book of dark tales will intrigue and fascinate fans of mysteries.
Classic film bloggers seem to enjoy a wide range of interests and excel at many talents, and my admiration for Raquel and John is not only for their blogs, but that their blogs have led to other adventures. Well done!

Today we join several other blogs in the 9 th “What a Character!” Blogathon celebrating favorite character actors of classic films, sponsored by the blogs Paula’s Cinema Club , Once Upon a Screen , and Outspoken & Freckled . We covered some of Tully’s work in previous posts, including his genial, kindly, and somewhat befuddled uncle of Ginger Rogers, who visits him at Christmas here in I’ll Be Seeing You (1944). He had only been in Hollywood a couple years and it was something like his seventh movie. Mr. Tully already had worked over a decade in radio and on stage, but seems to have made an effortless transfer to screen, where he exhibits a natural, if not actually a shrewd and canny ability to navigate the intimacy of playing to a ...
