Tonight at 7:30 pm at UCLA&#8217;s Festival of Preservation you&#8217;ll be able to catch a screening of Fritz Lang&#8217;s unfairly neglected Secret Beyond the Door (above), a 1947 noirish psychological melodrama starring Joan Bennett as woman married to Michael Redgrave, whom she suspects is out to kill her (possibly for her money).
Unlike Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s Suspicion (1941) and George Cukor&#8217;s similarly themed Gaslight (1944), Secret Beyond the Door boasts a highly stylized Gothic feel that makes the viewer feel just as off-kilter as both the heroine and the hero. Stanley Cortez, who also shot Orson Welles&#8216; The Magnificent Ambersons, was the cinematographer.
Tomorrow, Sunday, April 5, at 7pm, the Festival of Preservation will feature two rarities from the 1910s: Lena Rivers, a [...]]]></description>

Actress Jean Parker died on Nov. 30 following a stroke. She was 90.
Parker is perhaps best remembered as one of the four sisters &#8212; Katharine Hepburn, Joan Bennett, and Frances Dee were the other three (above, with  Spring Byington&#8217;s Marmee) &#8212; in the George Cukor-directed 1933 version of Louisa May Alcott&#8217;s Little Women. Although never a major star, Parker&#8217;s  film career lasted  more than two decades.
Much information about Jean Parker&#8217;s early years differs according to the source. She was born either Lois Mae Green (as per an IMDb bio apparently written by her son) or Louise Stephanie Zelinska (as per the Associated Press obit) in either Deer Lodge or Butte, Montana, on most probably August 11, 1915 [...]]]></description>
