HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: EP 6 – COLUMBO: IT’S ALL IN THE GAME/DRUNKS/THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1999)
Up next on Hollywood Royalty, we flashback a bit to see Faye in throwback mode, with the actress taking on three 90s titles that feel as if they came straight from her new Hollywood era. We begin with the 1993 TV movie Columbo: It’s All in the Game, where Faye plays a deadly, glamorous Beverly Hills socialite who uses charms to throw Peter Falk’s detective off her scent. After that, we examine the acclaimed 1995 arthouse drama Drunks, where Faye, along with an assortment of other notable actors, portrays a collection of people struggling with various addictions. Finally, we revisit the starry big-screen 1999 remake of Faye’s 1968 hit The Thomas Crown Affair to watch the actress have a ball in a rather delicious supporting turn as the title character’s psychiatrist. Fellow One of Us contributor and critic over at The Movie Buff, Nathan Flynn, joins me as we enjoy the new Hollywood roots of these 90s films.
YOUR HOST
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan?, Hollywood Royalty)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
