ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

It's my girl Carole...all day long on TCM today

Carole on the phone, calling everyone to let them know all about her day on TCM...

My favorite actress, Carole Lombard gets the star treatment today on TCM as Summer Under The Stars continue. During the early part of the morning and day they are showing several of her films that I have never seen before. Such as Fools For Scandal (1938), Lady By Choice (1934) and Virtue (1932). The big one for me will be the afternoon showing of 1939's In Name Only, the one and only film she did with Cary Grant. I have seen it before but it's been awhile. And then after that, TCM shows a stretch of the very best of Carole's films: Twentieth Century, To Be Or Not To Be, Hands Across The Table, Nothing Sacred, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Consider my day booked.

The Lady Eve said...: Nothing like a full day of Carole Lombard, is there? Puts a smile on my face.

Didn't realize she'd only done one film with Cary Grant - what a shame, they could have been such a team.

I love her in just about anything, but my favorite is her last, Lubitsch's brilliant "To Be or Not To Be."; August 28, 2011 at 1:24 PM
