• I have just launced a new website, Newt's Movie Store. The films offered are classic films, a good deal of them are known as Film Noir and most are not offered in the John Wayne Store. The films offered are manufactured on demand (MOD) using DVD-R recordable media (burned). The featured film in this newsletter is The Red House (1947). This film stars Edward G. Robinson, Judith Anderson, Lon McAllister, Allene Roberts, Julie London, and Rory Calhoun. Robinson becomes obsessed with keeping everyone away from the mysterious red house hidden in the woods that surrounds his property.

  Your comments or suggestions are always welcome and encouraged. I am always on othe look-out for John Wayne and/or classic film information to pass along in these little newsletters, if you come across any news on these subjects, please let me know. The newsletter has a new look to it with a new background. Let me know if like or if you don't. If it is too difficult to read I will go back the old blue background.
