Massachusetts cinema collects mispronounced film titles The employees of a movie theater have been keeping a list of some of the mis-remembered film titles that ticket-buyers have asked for.

Did you ever mix up the name of a movie?

Well, the Coolidge Corner Theater @thecoolidge.bsky.social keeps a list of film titles their patrons have gotten wrong.

Delightful audio from NPR:

The earliest known use of an edited closeup in AS SEEN THROUGH A TELESCOPE (1900). George Albert Smith spies on wife Laura Bayley's legs as her shoelace is tied.

(Despite what Cole Porter thought, the glimpse of stocking was not all that shocking. They had trapeze striptease.)

Released on this date in 1932; Freaks the movie so shocking it was banned for 30 years! Cult classic that still hits hard today. Film is twisted. Hard to believe this is from the same director that brought us 1931's Dracula!

Moody lighting wasn't invented for film noir, lighting became increasingly important in the 1910s and films of that decade, like the gangster picture ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE (1915), used light dramatically. Director Maurice Tourneur was also a cinematographer, this was his wheelhouse.

The Girl in Tails (1926) A Silent Film Review A would-be Swedish Cinderella has no dress for the ball but her solution is to raid her spoiled, fashion-obsessed brother’s closet and turn up in tails. Chaos and feminist satire ensue.

We're closing out our month of silent era films about modern women on a high note:

THE GIRL IN TAILS is a Swedish romantic comedy and feminist satire directed by Karin Swanström.

A young woman causes a scandal when she wears a tuxedo to her own graduation ball.
