Treasure of Monte Cristo (1949)
Sorry to have been gone so long. No, I was not in a sanitarium. If I was it would be this one.
Life can be tough for a recent college graduate looking for a job as a film archivist and I have been putting my focus elsewhere. In fact, I've pulled up stakes and moved clear across the country. These will likely be the last of the San Francisco address posts. Now I'm looking for films set in Philadelphia, just like me.
Can you tell me the titles of classic films set in Philadelphia? I know of The Philadelphia Story and that's it. There is such history here that there ought to be more. I doubt there was much focus on Colonial times or the Revolutionary or Civil wars, but a lot happened here during prohibition. There must be a good noir or two that I'm overlooking. Please add them to the comments.
These days times are still tough and I don't have a way of watching films just yet. In the meanwhile, I still intend to bring back a lot of the archive of images. I think I'll re-post them so they'll be ripe for fresh viewing instead of having them slide back into their old slots unannounced as I have done so far.
I'm so glad to be back!
