At the same time, it's well crafted (as you would expect from a movie directed by George Stevens), and Lombard gives a performance that sho read more

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Directed by Stanley Kramer Written by William Rose and Tania Rose 1963/USA Casey Productions Repeat viewing/Netflix rental I’ve laughed at and loved this movie from the time I saw it on original release as a pre-teen.  It stands up extremely well! Just read more

During this year's Monster Bash Conference, I met the esteemed Derek Koch, the man behind the fantastic Monster Kid Radio Podcast.

"Hands Across the Table" is probably my favorite Carole Lombard film made at Paramount.
