From the invaluable supporting actors to the hidden gems of cinema and TV: sometimes it isn’t the main events, the Brad Pitts and Jennifer Lawrences, the Oppenheimers and the Barbies, that we gravitate to.

Does anyone still watch the Disney films of the ’60s and ’70s? Not the animated ones, many of which are considered classics, but the likes of Flubber, or That Darn Cat!, or The Moon-Spinners, which Julie wrote about in this week’s Six Damn Fine Degrees.
