Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 3, 2015
Perhaps Carole Lombard's character Jane Mason is having her doubts while the mother-in-law, played by Lucile Watson, looks on in a scene from "Made For Each Other." As the seller notes, "This is an original 8" x 10" black-and-white photo still" from the Selznick International film, released in early read more

Making 'movie' a verb
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Sep 1, 2015
How many of you recall when Carole Lombard was Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month in October 2008 (the month of her centenary)? Hard to believe that was nearly seven years ago; since then, TCM twice has featured her in its "Summer Under the Stars" (in 2011 and 2014). Carole's long been a favor read more

A 'Swing'-in' Motion Picture Herald
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 31, 2015
"Swing High, Swing Low" was proof of Carole Lombard's box-office potency in early 1937. This musical drama -- neither genre associated with her -- was Paramount's biggest moneymaker of the year (Fred MacMurray's steadily rising popularity helped, too). And the Feb. 27 issue of the Motion Picture Her read more

The Wisdom Of Miss Sally; A Week In Review

A video blast from the past
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 30, 2015
Thanks to Carole Lombard, my mind has returned to nearly three decades ago, when millions were experiencing the joy of videocassettes. It's January 1986, and my mother -- never the most technologically adept of ladies (OK, she was a Luddite) -- jumped into the mid-eighties high-tech pool and bought read more

Ingrid Bergman: A Fascinating Woman
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Aug 26, 2015
Ingrid Bergman. What is the first word that comes to your mind when you think of this name. For some it’s “beauty”, for some it’s “talent”, for some it’s “Casablanca”. For me, it’s all this, and more… As I wrote in my letter to Isabe read more

Aug 25 Posted by aaronwest This morning I posted a review about Lasse Hallström’s My Life as a Dog over at Wonders in the Dark. Some may remember that I podcasted it with Martin Kessler a couple weeks back, and my review basically touched on the analysis that we talked through. I was pleased read more

A scrapbook, at the big 6-0
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Aug 19, 2015
Not to sound presumptuous, but I like to think that somewhere today, Carole Lombard is celestially celebrating my birthday with Clark Gable and many other of her friends -- just as I honor the anniversary of her birth every Oct. 6. It's a milestone for me today, as I've reached age 60 (and have the read more
