Fernando’s Corner

Let me introduce you to my friend, Fernando Silva. He’s a classic film fan like the rest of us. I’ve tucked him into a cozy little corner on my blog because I love his pithy insightful film reviews and I’m hoping his reviews will persuade you to check out these movies.

Born in 1967 in Santiago de Chile, Fernando has been a classic film buff since earliest childhood. As a very little kid, the first films he saw on TV were “Mary of Scotland” and “Anna Karenina” ( both versions ) which left an everlasting impression on him. He used to ask a lot of questions of his parents ( who went to movies in the early 50’s ) and his maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather, who knew about films and stars of the 1930s and 1940s. Married twenty-one years, Fernando studied Law, and works for the same company for twenty-plus years. His passions: Classic Cinema, music, books, history…
