A starry day with fellow Lombard lovers
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 25, 2015
Here's a casual photo of Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, probably from the late 1930s. I doubt memorabilia shows were staged in their day...and even if there had been, Clark and Carole probably wouldn't have deigned to attend them. It's not that they didn't like their fans -- for the most part, they read more
Just Whose Story Is It? – Quickie Review: A Soldier’s Story (1984)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Apr 24, 2015
The problem with Norman Jewison‘s 1984 film A Soldier’s Story is that while it tries very hard to be a movie with a message, and while it works for the most part on that level, it forgets one of the most basic characteristics of film making: In order to truly succeed, a film has to be read more

Warner Archive: A Remarkable Cast of Children In Our Mother's House
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Apr 22, 2015
Though he is featured prominently in much of the advertising for Our Mother's House, Dirk Bogarde doesn't appear in the film until the half point. Up to then, it is the domain of a remarkable cast of seven children who play siblings coping with the sudden death of their sickly mother. Now this unus read more

A nice Facebook 'Tribute'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 20, 2015
Isn't that a delightful photo of Carole Lombard, surrounded by hay, said to be from 1937? I wasn't aware of its existence until I saw it the other day at a new Facebook site dedicated to Carole. It's called "Carole Lombard Tribute" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carole-Lombard-Tribute/7261865608347 read more

A 'pet picture' of Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 17, 2015
Carole Lombard ranked with any classic Hollywood star where love for animals was concerned, and this one page, from the February 1937 issue of Screenland , proves it. We even learn the names of Carole's menagerie.The relationship between Carole and director Mitchell Leisen also is noted (although si read more

He didn't get the girl, but at least he got a kiss
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 16, 2015
For much of his career, Ralph Bellamy was the inevitable third wheel, the guy who never got the girl. He didn't get Carole Lombard in "Hands Across the Table," either, but Lombard was nice enough to give him a peck on his forehead. It's an original vintage image, as the back makes evident:It's up fo read more

'Dressing' a herald with a twist
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 15, 2015
"We're Not Dressing" is hardly a classic, but it's plenty of fun, a Bing Crosby musical vehicle with Carole Lombard thrown into the mix, not to mention Ethel Merman, Leon Errol, George Burns and Gracie Allen (neither of whom are pictured here -- they're elsewhere on the island) and even a young Ray read more

A Tale of Two Blobs
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Apr 14, 2015
Apr 14 Posted by aaronwest The best way to establish the nature of The Blob is with a song. This little ditty by a young Burt Bacharach is the first impression of the franchise, playing over the opening credits. Unlike the chilling horror scores for filmmakers like Hitchcock, Argento, or Carpenter, read more
