Objects of Affection

Check out my first article for Metromix, a new network of websites owned by the Tribune Company. Metromix is similar to Citysearch in that its sites are all about things to do in a particular city, but its focus is on arts and entertainment. The article is on Metromix sites nationwide, but for a link to the article at the Los Angeles site, click here.

Note that two films were originally on the list but didn't make it because photos could not be found: "Royal Wedding," the 1951 MGM musical in whcih Fred Astaire dances with a hat rack, and "Le Ballon Rouge," a.k.a. "The Red Balloon," the French short film about a balloon that follows a kid around Paris.
