Hands Across the Table (1935) (2)
The Blonde At The Film Posted by Cameron on Dec 2, 2013
Fred MacMurray and Carole Lombard never actually go out together in a tuxedo and evening gown in the movie, though it makes for a nice poster. Now that I think of it, this is one of those rare 1930s comedies without any tuxedos! But it’s still a good movie. This was a breakout role for Caro read more

Easy to Love (1953)
The Blonde At The Film Posted by Cameron on Nov 25, 2013
This is my second favorite Esther Williams movie behind Dangerous When Wet (1953). It’s not surprising that these are my two favorite Esther movies as they were filmed only months apart, were both directed by Charles Walters (High Society, Easter Parade, Summer Stock), and both star Esther read more
