Cinematically Insane Posted by Will McKinley on Jul 16, 2015

'Wanted': A novel approach

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 14, 2015

"They Knew What They Wanted" released in the fall of 1940, would be Carole Lombard's last excursion into drama...but because of global conflict, much of the world not under Axis rule didn't get a chance to see it right away. In Sweden, for example, it didn't open until Jan. 19, 1942 -- three days af read more

The 1947 Blogathon: The Devil Thumbs a Ride (or, Why Picking Up Hitchhikers is a BAD Idea)

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jul 14, 2015

No, he was just too perfect as the bad guy – the guy who’d kill you as soon as look at you. The guy who didn’t give a hoot that you had read more

A hint of things to come

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 11, 2015

At first glance, you might think that's a charming portrait of Carole Lombard in the early to mid-1930s...but you'd be wrong. Heck, when this was taken, she wasn't known as Carole Lombard, but Carol. It's from 1929, while she worked at Pathe.I thought this may have been taken by William E. Thomas, P read more
