Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 25, 2020
It's near impossible not to feel sorry for Ralph Bellamy, who in so many Golden Age romantic comedies -- such as in "Hands Across The Table" with Carole Lombard -- was cast as the "third wheel," the well-meaning but bland guy who never gets the girl.

Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Jan 6, 2017
Ruth Chatterton doesn’t get nearly as much attention as she should. And that’s a real shame. Perhaps best known for co-starring opposite Walter Huston in Dodsworth (1936), Chatterton was a pre-Code icon, appearing in no fewer than 20 features from the era, including some of my favorites – Frisco read more

Female Form Divine: The Bias Cut
Pretty Clever Films Posted by Christina Stewart on Oct 30, 2013
Bias Cut gowns have long been thought of as the most unforgiving dress or gown style ever created.
