'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
Admittedly, I haven’t seen every movie Lawrence Tierney was in, but I can’t imagine that he ever played the romantic lead or the goofy but lovable sidekick. 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 Couple of Items About William A Wellman
Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Jul 13, 2015
Just to say that I’ve written a new review of William A Wellman’s great pre-Code drama Wild Boys of the Road for Wonders in the Dark, as part of the site’s Greatest Childhood/Adolescent Films Countdown. It’s a film I’ve already written about here in the past, but it wa read more

A new perspective on a scandal
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 12, 2015
It's almost a certainty that while Carole Lombard was romantically linked and later married to Clark Gable, she was aware that he had sired a daughter out of wedlock by actress Loretta Young. But new revelations over the nature of that conception put the story in an unsettling new light, one that ha 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

A DVD you'll want to 'Run' for
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 10, 2015
Carole Lombard may be standing still in the photo above, but her 1928 Mack Sennett film "Run, Girl, Run" lives up to its title, as she plays a glamorous, if flighty, track and field star who helps her college finally conquer its archrival. It's now available with three other Sennett shorts in a comp read more

A 'Choice' pressbook herald
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 8, 2015
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. But this comedy from the fall of 1934 co-starring May Robson (above), whose title is meant to evoke the unrelated Frank Cap read more

A Lacy shot of Lombard
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 6, 2015
As in Madison Lacy, veteran Warners still photographer. Since Carole Lombard's only movie at that studio was the lackluster "Fools For Scandal," this candid is from that film, as Carole, director Mervyn LeRoy and co-star Fernand Gravet chat on the set. Since we don't know at what point in the shooti read more

A Cinematic Argument for Gun Control: The Ale & Quail Club
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Jul 5, 2015
The Palm Beach Story (1942), Preston Sturges’ rom-com about love & money, features many screwball moments. But few would deny that the screwiest are with the trigger-happy Ale & Quail Club. I have heard many arguments over the years claiming we need tighter governance over gun ownersh read more
