Always touched by their presence, dear: Carole, Debbie, Mamie
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Feb 6, 2020

There’s Always Tomorrow (1956)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 18, 2018
The film begins with that old storytelling standard, Once upon a time in sunny California…and it’s raining outside. Not a minute has gone by and the tone of the picture has already been set with this opening taste of irony. It unravels on a smaller, less grandiose scale than other Sirk read more

We'll always have Warsaw: Here's looking at 'To Be,' 75 years later
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 3, 2017
Does it sometimes seem as if Carole Lombard's best films often are overshadowed by contemporary rivals?
