Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 20, 2012
Earlier this week, we noted several rare Carole Lombard photos from the estate of collector Lester Glassner were available on eBay (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/528122.html). More have been added to the collection (such as the above, p1202-25 from late 1930), for a total of 23 items.While no read more
Her aim is true, and so much more
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 17, 2012
In the late 1930s, Carole Lombard took up skeet shooting, then moved to hunting alongside eventual second husband Clark Gable. Several photos were taken of Lombard the huntress, but here's one you probably have never seen before:It's an 8" x 10" restrike from the original negative, and you can buy i read more
More of Ms. Lombard from Mr. Glassner
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 16, 2012
Last September, we did an entry about six rare stills from the Carole Lombard film "In Name Only" available (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/444871.html). Now, the estate of Lester Glassner, which auctioned those images, is selling some other Lombard pics via eBay. While all of these are reprin read more
OT Thursday: More TV talk! HIMYM Season 1
The Motion Pictures Posted by Lindsey on Jun 28, 2012
Here’s a show that I forgot to include in my favorites list: CBS’s best comedy (in my opinion), How I Met Your Mother. As much as I love this show, I somehow completely missed season 7 – as in, didn’t even catch a millisecond of one episode. Soon after realizing that I neglec read more

Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Jun 26, 2012
There’s been some questions about my upcoming blogathon and to maximize the number of people interested I figured I’d provide a short little post fleshing out the details of the Universal Backlot Blogathon. You don’t have to have a topic right now (I’ll be sending out a bunc read more
And one more...this time from Tokyo!
All Good Things Posted by monty on Jun 15, 2012
Word is spreading about the cinematic world tour as Rich from Wide Screen World sent me an email last night letting me know he had written a post as a contribution piece. And after reading his piece about Tokyo, I have to say it is one of the more creative pieces I have ever read. I had so much read more
Before she was a 'Sinner,' and more
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jun 4, 2012
Three Carole Lombard photos are in today's entry, and two of them are from movies that are labeled differently from what they're supposed to represent. Take the one above, for instance. Here's what the snipe on the back says about it:"The Beachcomber." you say? Paramount indeed filmed the story, and read more

For Your Consideration Another day with so many posts I had to do it twice (sorry, I didn’t have a quippy rhyme scheme to go with it). To start, I’m throwing my hat into the ring and posting a For Your Consideration ad for the annual LAMMYS. If you haven’t noticed on the sidebar, read more

Some more hosannas for Hollywood Paper, the eBay seller that's of late been issuing a slew of vintage Carole Lombard portraits, some of which are new to even veteran collectors and all of which are fascinating to examine. This lead photo is proof:That's Carole, with Gene Raymond and Monroe Owsley, i read more
Two more from Hollywood Paper
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Apr 13, 2012
In recent days, we've been running quite a few vintage Carole Lombard photos from the eBay seller "hollywoodpaper." These portraits are normally above $100 to either buy or bid for, though their value is deserved for both their rarity and (usually) their quality. We have a pair of additional example read more

Feiffer's film knowledge more than 'Carnal'
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 19, 2012
For many people, "My Man Godfrey" is one of those films it's difficult to become tired of; the characters are so delightful, the writing so pointedly clever (but with the heart that prevents it from devolving into a polemic) that it's next to impossible to resist. "Godfrey" is returning to Turner Cl read more
More documents for sale, and more on the tourney
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Mar 15, 2012
Carole Lombard's signature, in a far more formal environment than this photo, can be found on three documents now up for sale at eBay. And whereas Lombard signed this candid shot for free only a few days after it was taken, to purchase all three documents you would need about as much money as Carole read more
Preparing for more madness
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Feb 25, 2012
Looks like Carole Lombard's getting herself in shape (in this image from the Mack Sennett silent "Run, Girl, Run"). What could it be for?The answer: March Madness. No, Carole's not suiting up to join a basketball team; even if she was actually 5-foot-6 (the tallest Lombard listing during her lifetim read more
Still more Paramount portraits
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Feb 16, 2012
The inventory of Carole Lombard's publicity portraits with Paramount's p1202 imprint continues to grow, as three more such images have been discovered. We'll kick things off with p1202-933:This shot, showing Carole, wearing bangs, reclining on either a hammock or a rug converted into one, is from so read more
