Happily Buried (1939) – for SHORTS!: A tiny blogathon
The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on May 2, 2015

A 'hermit,' soon to be in the past tense
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 29, 2015
There was a time, however brief, when "To Be Or Not To Be" and "posthumous" were not synonymous with Carole Lombard...and here's proof. It's from the February 1942 issue of Screen Guide, which probably hit newsstands a few days before her fateful air accident on Jan. 16. The story refers to Lombard read more

Mirage; Fata Morgana, a Step Above the Thriller Horizon: Starring Gregory Peck
Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Apr 25, 2015
Mirage Menagerie of thoughts: Mirage, 1965, a Universal release is often likened to a Hitchcock film. For better or worse, with regards to audience expectations, Mirage, clearly works and has much of the Hitchcockian atmosphere to it; especially, with reference to Spellbound and North by Nor read more

A starry day with fellow Lombard lovers
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co 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
A 'Pic' of the Smiths
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 23, 2015

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
