When Marriage Dared to Die: Divorce American Style (Bud Yorking, 1967)
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Aug 25, 2020
I have to admit; I still haven’t seen enough films with Van Johnson despite really liking him in the not-so-well-known Three Guys Named Mike (Charles Walter, 1951). When Michaela from Love Letters to Old Hollywood announced the 4th edition of her Van Johnson Blogathon that she is hosting in ho read more
Flicker Alley: Clara Bow and Gary Cooper in Children of Divorce (1927)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Dec 21, 2016
To contemplate Clara Bow and Gary Cooper together onscreen is to fear these irresistibly watchable stars will cancel each other out. After all, what else could happen when two performers who consistently steal scenes in other films appear with each other? In the 1927 silent Children of Divorce, noth read more

DIVORCE CORP. Review: Money Changes Everything
ScribeHard on Film Posted by Michael Nazarewycz on Oct 22, 2014
Like many other things today, divorce has lost a lot of its societal impact, a lot of its shock value. It wasn’t that long ago – certainly within the lifetimes of people alive now – that divorce was considered shameful and scandalous. Today, divorce is commonly a headline or a read more
What's a divorce between friends? (But hurry!)
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 20, 2014
Here's a Carole Lombard-William Powell pic I've never seen before...and thanks to a snipe on the back, we know much more about it:It appears to be from September 1933, a month after their divorce, at tennis matches in Los Angeles...and as the caption notes, they had been seeing quite a bit of each o read more
Silent Movie Time Capsule: 104 years ago, this was a divorce drama
Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Oct 11, 2013
We are used to thinking that movies about divorce and child custody are fairly modern but this 1909 film, Custody of the Child, covers those very topics. A mother loses custody of her son to her rich ex (custody is apparently an all-or-nothing proposition) but manages to snatch him back again. Thi read more
'Silver Screen,' April 1934: That funny divorce
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 17, 2013
So what if Carole Lombard and William Powell no longer were married? It didn't keep them from socializing together, as on this night, Oct. 13, 1933 at the Shrine Auditorium, when they accompanied Gloria Swanson and her husband, Michael Farmer to hear Lawrence Tibbett sing -- less than two months aft read more
The Story of a Divorce
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Apr 5, 2013
Today marks what would have been the 115th birthday of the "benevolent volcano," Miss Bette Davis. In the process of thinking about this august anniversary, I believe there's a chance I may have uncovered a little bit of a mystery, which I've found rather amusing.
In 1950, Miss Davis's birthd read more

There’s Always Divorce | Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Pretty Clever Film Gal on May 23, 2011
Film critic Andrew Sarris once, now famously, described the screwball comedy as a “sex comedy without the sex.” In the case of Bringing Up Baby, I say thank the gods for small favors. One can only imagine what sort of leathered and gagged S&M tableau poor David Huxley would have end read more
Children of Divorce (1927)
Movie Classics Posted by Judy on Dec 19, 2009
Since I’ve just been starting to get into silent movies, I was pleased to have the chance to see this little-known silent melodrama at the BFI in London, where it was screened as part of their Josef von Sternberg season. I was especially attracted by this film because it stars Clara Bow and Ga read more

Clara Bow had a knack for communicating her emotions so clearly that you can't help feeling them along with her. If she grieves, you grieve.While Bow is rightfully beloved for the way she embodied the youthful energy of the jazz
age, she was even better when a moment required deeper emotion. C read more
