Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Feb 23, 2019
No, Carole's not like this......or this......but this (love that sly look on her face(:What's "horizontal" about this isn't so much Lombard as the shape of the image. Most solo fashion stills taken during the Golden Age were vertical images; horizontals were few and far between. This was taken for R read more

Madeline’s Madeline (2018)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 22, 2019

Notorious’ (1946)
Wolffianclassicmoviesdigest Posted by Joey on Feb 22, 2019
Hitchcock should have won an Oscar(https://www.facebook.com/Wolffianclassicmoviesdigest) It has been well documented but it still astonishes that Hitchcock never won an Academy Award.

Carole, Will and Leslie at the polo grounds
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Feb 22, 2019
No, not the fabled New York ballpark (which baseball fan Carole Lombard may have visited during her 1930 stay in NYC), but a real polo field, the Uplifters Fields in Santa Monica.

4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Feb 22, 2019
In Bend of The River, there are glimpses of the man we knew before the war. Joking and smiling with that same face. The affable charm and so on. But it’s also starkly different. In this picture, James Stewart is on horseback leading a wagon train preoccupied with farming, cattle, ranching, and read more

Sum Up | Eleanor Parker: Oscar Nominee
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Feb 22, 2019
