No, not a blind Sherlock Holmes, but a blind Van Johnson, who directs his butler, his girlfriend Vera Miles and the London police to thwart a crime based on something he overheard in a bar. Henry Hathaway directs a complicated murder mystery that plays like a combo of Rear Window and Wait Until Dark, with a cranky Van Johnson as the central character.

In true Hollywood style, it was an offer I couldn't refuse: an invitation from Turner Classic Movies to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony and inaugural roll out of the TCM Classic Film Tour of New York city movie locations. This event, which took place on August 20, was restricted to the media and invited guests. TCM host Robert Osborne was there to greet everyone along with a Hollywood legend, Jane Powell, who was clearly delighted to participate. Osborne and Powell used giant scissors to cut the ribbon on the bus, which is distinctively branded with the network's logo (and appropriately enough, the ultimate New York City "big" star, King Kong). Joining them was Dennis Adamovich, Senior VP of Brand Digital Activation and the guru behind the Turner Classic Movies Film Festivals.

Ghostbusters (1984)
Here's an awesome series of photos that recreate famous movie scenes using screen grabs, a cheap printer, a keen eye for movie locations and some fairly steady hands. They were taken by Christopher Moloney, a writer for the show OutFront on CNN. These are just part of the over 200 locations he's shot so far, most of which were taken on his walk to work from his home on East 75th Street and First Avenue to Columbus Circle.
It all started out with the photo above, which features a scene from Ghostbusters with Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. He started out taking these photos with his BlackBerry and sharing them only with family and friends. He has since upgraded his camera and gained worldwide attention from your average teenager to movie aficionados.
As his FILMography tumblr has become more popular across the globe, he's had the opportunity to go international with his photos as well.
