Of the five films Carole Lombard made for Columbia Pictures, "Lady By Choice," her last at Gower Gulch, certainly ranks below "Twentieth Century" and probably "Virtue" as well.

Lucille Ball is one of my favorite actresses, although at this point, you're probably wondering "Who isn't your favorite?" To which I reply, "Oh, getting fresh, are we?" (Can you tell I just watched Gold Diggers of 1933?) Anyway, I'm such a fan of the glorious Ms. Ball, it's a guarantee that I will read more
