A site to check out the Chinese
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 14, 2014
No, not like that, although Carole Lombard certainly looks fetching in that Connie Foster-designed hat. Nor are we referring to the ersatz Asian appearances of Myrna Loy......or Loretta Young:The "Chinese" meant here is Grauman's Chinese on Hollywood Boulevard, arguably the world's most famous movie read more

Ending the week is another look at Phil Karlson‘s A Time for Killing (1967), the Civil War melodrama starring Glenn Ford. Billy Cat, “the Yankee from Missourah,” barks out some orders while Lt. Shaffer (Harrison Ford in his first credited screen role) looks confused and Col. Harrie read more

Along a different Pathe, and 'just stupendous'
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 11, 2014
Think of Carole Lombard's photos for Pathe in the late 1920s, and the initial name that comes up is William E. Thomas, the studio's primary photographer. The first man to take many images of Lombard, his portraits ran the gamut from demure to racy, and he almost certainly aided her knowledge of ligh read more
A 'White Woman' in a kimono
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 9, 2014
If any Carole Lombard picture deserves having the term "guilty pleasure" attached to it, "White Woman" probably would be the most obvious candidate. It has "over-the-top" written all over it, led by Charles Laughton's shameless overacting. Lombard knows the entire thing is ridiculous (and knows that read more

A gem from Columbia: Lombard in lingerie
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 7, 2014
Carole Lombard's first film for Columbia, 1932's "Virtue," was more suggestive than racy, at least on screen; while her character Mae is a streetwalker, convicted at the start of the movie for soliciting and ordered to leave New York City (the part of the film the audience doesn't actually see), we read more
Larry Steers, Acting, Politics; a Man Whose Energy Could Not Be Corralled.
Classic Film Aficionados Posted by C. S. Williams on Sep 6, 2014
Larry Steers is an important part of the history of Hollywood, film-making in general, to the state of California and our Country. We may remember him most for his laundry-list of uncredited movie appearances; yet, from 1917-1929 he was well known by audiences, and was applauded as a sound supporti read more
