Colosseo Film

Starring Steve Reeves, Georgia Moll, Arturo Dominici
Cinematography by Tonino Delli Colli
Directed by Arthur Lubin
When he shuffled off this mortal coil in 1995, Arthur Lubin’s New York Times obituary was titled “Arthur Lubin, 96, Director Of ‘Mr. Ed’ TV Series, Dies.” It’s doubtful the prolific Lubin would have complained about that particular credit headlining his accomplishments; the man who directed Karloff and Lugosi, jumpstarted Abbott and Costello’s film career and gave Clint Eastwood his first break, also had a thing for talking animals. In 1950 he bought the rights to a book about a talking mule and began a series of hit comedies starring a four-legged chatterbox named Francis and his two-legged pal played by Donald O’Connor.
Industrious to a fault, Lubin’s career was spent crisscrossing from theater to film to television and back again yet...

Thankfully the cast of TV's best drama was honored last week during The Paley Center for Media's annual PaleyFest, which is where I caught up with (future Emmy nominee) Monica Potter, Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Jason Ritter, Sam Jaeger, Erika Christensen, Mae Whitman, Miles Heizer, Craig T. Nelson and creator Jason Katims to talk season four highlights, season five hopes and NBC frustrations.
Lack of Love
Despite being one of the network's most critically acclaimed series, the Parenthood cast all expressed some degree of frustration regarding NBC's treatment of the show. "There are all these people responding to our show and NBC is completely out of it," Nelson said. "They don't promo the show, you don't see anything about it out there. It's like...
