'What A Character!' blogathon: Nat Pendleton
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 16, 2017
Early last month, I announced plans to participate in this year's "What A Character!" blogathon, designed to honor the foot soldiers of film (and TV) acting -- the supporting players who helped make Carole Lombard and other stars shine. I did so several years ago, honoring Walter Connolly (http://ca read more

The car may be gone, but Jean's exhibit lives on (for a while)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 15, 2017
We traditionally open each Carole & Co. entry with an image of Carole Lombard associated with its subject, and so we do here. But this pic, from the July 1935 Radio Mirror, frankly doesn't do justice to either Carole or the other woman pictured. (The men in this 1934 pic are, from left, Walter Winch read more
The What A Character Blogathon: Michael Ripper
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Dec 14, 2017
The What A Character Blogathon gives me the perfect opportunity to discuss one of my favorite movie supporting players--the English actor Michael Ripper (1913-2000).
Anyone who is a huge fan of Hammer Films (such as myself) can't help but smile whenever Michael Ripper shows up on the screen. The fi read more
A mouse buys a Fox; what's next?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 14, 2017
The 1930 western "The Arizona Kid" is the only surviving link of Carole Lombard, shown with Warner Baxter, to the Fox film studio (as a teenage starlet, she appeared in several now-lost silents there in the mid-1920s). She never worked for Walt Disney, but attended "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs," t read more

A belated birthday present
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 13, 2017
Above is a stylish Carole Lombard pic, Paramount p1202-1167, from late 1935 or early '36. Below is a GIF of Carole that I had promised to run on Oct. 6, the 109th anniversary of her birth, but never got around to installing. So here it is, better late than never...four minutes and 10 seconds of asso read more
Brenda Starr, Reporter (1945, Wallace Fox), Chapter 10: A Double-Cross Backfires
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 11, 2017
Brenda Starr is rallying in its last third–A Double-Cross Backfires is a solid serial chapter. Sure, Joan Woodbury gets interviewing and kidnapped duty, but there’s some good action and some actual suspense. The chapter opens in Marion Burns’s house–rigged for her psychic scam–and no one except read more

A Long Time Till Dawn (1953, Richard Dunlap)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 6, 2017
A Long Time Till Dawn is usually able to keep disbelief completely suspended. It’s a television play and Rod Serling’s teleplay is more ambitious than the budget or the constraints of the medium. Most of the sets are interiors and fine–a diner, a living room, a bedroom. They can e read more
Boosting a real-life protege
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Dec 6, 2017
Among the many things that make "My Man Godfrey" a screwball masterpiece that delights viewers more than 80 years after its initial release is the premise that Carole Lombard's character, dizzy Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock, intends to make William Powell's Godfrey -- ostensibly a "forgotten read more
Brenda Starr, Reporter (1945, Wallace Fox), Chapter 4: A Ghost Walks
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 5, 2017
Unfortunately, most of A Ghost Walks is missing. What remains–some audio, a couple stills–isn’t really enough to sustain the narrative. After the cliffhanger resolution (not too noisy and apparently not injurious to Joan Woodbury), there’s some treading water while cops Kane Richmond and Joe read more
