A nice Facebook 'Tribute'
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 20, 2015
Isn't that a delightful photo of Carole Lombard, surrounded by hay, said to be from 1937? I wasn't aware of its existence until I saw it the other day at a new Facebook site dedicated to Carole. It's called "Carole Lombard Tribute" (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carole-Lombard-Tribute/7261865608347 read more

A 'pet picture' of Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 17, 2015
Carole Lombard ranked with any classic Hollywood star where love for animals was concerned, and this one page, from the February 1937 issue of Screenland , proves it. We even learn the names of Carole's menagerie.The relationship between Carole and director Mitchell Leisen also is noted (although si read more

He didn't get the girl, but at least he got a kiss
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 16, 2015
For much of his career, Ralph Bellamy was the inevitable third wheel, the guy who never got the girl. He didn't get Carole Lombard in "Hands Across the Table," either, but Lombard was nice enough to give him a peck on his forehead. It's an original vintage image, as the back makes evident:It's up fo read more

'Dressing' a herald with a twist
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 15, 2015
"We're Not Dressing" is hardly a classic, but it's plenty of fun, a Bing Crosby musical vehicle with Carole Lombard thrown into the mix, not to mention Ethel Merman, Leon Errol, George Burns and Gracie Allen (neither of whom are pictured here -- they're elsewhere on the island) and even a young Ray read more

The RMS Titanic sank in the icy waters of the Atlantic on April 15, 1912. Today, we're looking at A Night to Remeber (1958), one of the best films about the doomed ocean liner.
The sinking of the Titanic in the early mornings hours of April 15, 1912, was one of history's great maritime tragedies read more

A Tale of Two Blobs
Criterion Blues Posted by Aaron West on Apr 14, 2015
Apr 14 Posted by aaronwest The best way to establish the nature of The Blob is with a song. This little ditty by a young Burt Bacharach is the first impression of the franchise, playing over the opening credits. Unlike the chilling horror scores for filmmakers like Hitchcock, Argento, or Carpenter, read more

Both are 7.75" x 9.75" and are part of Sunday's Internet Movie Poster Auction (OK, so neither are posters -- we don't need to get technical). The one above is p1202-4 read more
A REAL PISTOL-PACKIN’ MAMA
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Apr 13, 2015
I figure I’d start you off with this nice 40-second clip I took at the 2012 TCM Film Festival: …because it’s going to get pretty bad girl, pretty fast. All this week the bad, the ugly and the dastardly will be featured in this year’s Great Villain Blogathon hosted by Kristi read more

2015 TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL: STARS IN MY EYES…AND A DRINK IN MY HAND
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Apr 12, 2015
CLOSING NIGHT I wind up this year’s 2015 TCM Classic Film Festival by seeing two of Hollywood’s biggest stars in person, confirming once and for all, in my mind…they actually EXIST. And I also got to hang out at a pretty cool after-party. The first movie I ever saw with a bunch of kids, ( read more
