A Lombard film is finally on DVD. Well, sort of.

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Feb 3, 2021

Several notable Carole Lombard films remain underrepresented on DVD. Her breakthrough movie, "Twentieth Century," appeared on DVD in 2005 and has yet to be reissued with any sort of extras or bonuses befitting a screwball classic. But another of her films hasn't even been that fortunate -- the 1940 read more

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on May 2, 2020

It's none other than Carole Lombard and husband William Powell, arriving in Los Angeles after their honeymoon in Hawaii. I adore the look on Lombard's face; she and Powell are two little lovebirds. Thankfully, this is an original photo with a snipe on the back:Can't read it? A larger version:The pic read more

With pal Zasu Pitts as passenger, Carole Lombard says hi to two unidentified policemen on motorcycles in a scene from Carole's lone film for MGM, "The Gay Bride" (1934).

Happy Australia Day (well, it still is here)

Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jan 26, 2018

To the many Carole Lombard fans in Australia, I know I'm too late, given the International Dateline and all that. But here in the U.S., it's still Jan. 26 as I write this.Lombard, of course, never visited Australia, but her films were popular there. On Jan. 31, 1942, some 15 days after her passing, read more

Now, meet yet another member of Carole's canine menagerie. Ladies and g read more

So, there it is, my Some Like it Hot‘s review, a movie that I can watch over and over always with a great pleasure. Before I saw this film, I had a feeling, just by seeing the t read more

Once considered lost, but eventually found; don’t get all excited and think that because Deluge survives as a dubbed Italian version, that you can hop online and order a DVD at your leisure. No, it will take some time and most probably $200.00 to get your copy (most likely VHS); now, on to the movi read more

'No One Man' hits the beach...well, sort of

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 3, 2014

Among the more obscure movies in the Carole Lombard canon, "No One Man" -- released by Paramount in early 1932, and the first film where Lombard received top billing -- apparently isn't very good, if critics' reviews are indicative. (I've never seen it; Universal owns the rights to this and much of read more

Movies Silently Posted by Fritzi Kramer on Nov 18, 2013

Lon Chaney’s performance really ignites in the third act of The Wicked Darling. He is, of course, a gangster and all-around meanie. Loved his sick grin-to-grimace transformation. Check out our other posts for the Chaney Blogathon! (You can read my review of The Wicked Darling here.) read more
