Cyd appreciations

Today seems to be the day for more expansive appreciations of Cyd Charisse (My word, are feature writers ever precious princesses who take their time.). Here's are links of the most interesting:

David Thomson, a great, great critic, but prone to tossing out interesting, radical, provocative notions such as that Nicholas Ray's Party Girl was Charisse at her best.

Manohla Dargis, strangely describing The Girl Hunt as not sexy. No guy would say that. :)

Klinkenborg, New York Times, a splendid example of analyzing film at a level where it doesn't matter anymore.

Ty Burr, dead wood version

Ty Burr, blog version, with clips

Washington Post

D.C. Examiner

L.A. Times

Hartford Courant

Obviously, we've been Cyd-heavy, but when else will we ever again have the chance to be so?

Disclosure

Due to a recent Federal Trade Commission decision, I think it best to reveal that, yes, I receive free admission to most of the films that I review. This is the standard practice among film reviewers, and it does not affect my opinion. Unless noted otherwise, you should assume that I received free admission. I have never been on a junket and I do not plan to start. Although in the future, it is possible that I might decide to start interviewing actors, directors, etc.
