4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Dec 2, 2021
“Must we submit to this three-ringed circus in the guise of drama?” – Porter Hall Carole Lombard is a comedienne of unequivocal talents. My guess is that it lies in that extra special dial she had. Yes, she was a Hollywood glamour girl and stylist of the 1930s — married to t read more

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, th read more

Yes, Carole Lombard, I'm as surprised by the news as you are -- but while "True Confession" may have a mixed legacy, her final Paramount film lives on...in print, though you won't find it used on any typewriter."What is he talking about?", you wonder.

Confession (1937)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by on Jan 13, 2016
Kay Francis is best remembered as a clotheshorse, an actress who utilized the frame as her own personal runway, but after watching I Found Stella Parish (1935) and Confession (1937), Francis should also be given the moniker of “exquisite mother of the year.” Her self-sacrificing mother c read more

A confession about 'Confessions': I'd like to see this
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 13, 2015
I've frequently come across this cover of Carole Lombard from the April 1936 issue pf True Confessions -- and each time I do, I always wonder how Carole felt about being associated with a topic such as birth control, which still was a controversial subject in 1936. (And this was some two dozen years read more

Warner Archive: Kay Francis in I Found Stella Parish (1935) and Confession (1937)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Sep 9, 2015

There is no movie genre that makes me ugly cry more profusely than the maternal sacrifice melodrama. Perhaps Barbara Stanwyck has played the most famous of these mothers in Stella Dallas (1937), where she stood in the rain, an outcast, looking through the window at her daughter's wedding, e read more

SBIFF 2015: Second Chance (2014) & Confession (2014)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Feb 25, 2015
Taiwanese film number two of the festival was the frothy Second Chance, directed by Wen-yen Kung. Okay, maybe not frothy exactly, but definitely bubbly. Second Chance is (I assume) one of the only action movies about pool. Yes, that kind of pool, where you stand around a table and firmly poke a read more
Confession: Four Great Movies I’ve Never Seen, with Excuses
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Nov 7, 2014
I am unashamed of my pathetic store of musical knowledge. I actually listen to—and like–the radio. And not the satellite kind. Frankly, if I can’t sing or dance to a song, I’m not interested. Riffs, jamming, orchestras, Bonnaroo—not for me. A Pat Benatar singalong? Sign me up. It’s also read more
