The “best of hollywood” column was a staple in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1963, usually running a few times each week. Herb Stein and Louella Parsons were two of the more regular contributors, though there were others, including Joe Hyams. These three columns are fairly typical: Gossip ranging from on-set news to off-set disputes to Marlon Brando attending his first movie premiere (not in Philadelphia, sadly.) These columns represent a fair portion of the film news that Philadelphia newspaper readers (at least, readers of the Inquirer) received in 1963—actual film reviews were more rare. By A. Migdail
