We don't know if any Lombard films will crack the 2016 festival schedule, but there's one thing we do know:Next year's ev read more

For the next two days, plenty of Mr. Powell
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jul 27, 2015
Carole Lombard is shown with new husband William Powell in June 1931, as they set sail for a Hawaii honeymoon only hours after they had tied the knot in Los Angeles. While the marriage ended little more than two years later, the friendship didn't, and Bill and Carole remained close for the rest of h read more

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by The Wonderful World of Cinema on Jan 15, 2015
After this very nice Olivia de Havilland’s marathon, I have already started a new one: A William Holden’s films marathon. I introduced it with the I Love Lucy’s episode “Hollywood at last” where William Holden plays his own role. Also, the movies that I have already se read more
Next month, take a 'White Woman' from Universal's vault
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Nov 23, 2014
"White Woman" isn't Carole Lombard's greatest movie -- no, it's far from it -- but it nevertheless has a core of devoted fans. Some like its sheer campiness (a term no one associated with the film would have heard of in the latter part of 1933). Others enjoy the potboiler aspect of the movie, while read more
"Next Time I Marry," or Raising Kanin
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Nov 20, 2014
The 1938 film "Next Time I Marry" isn't, and shouldn't be, a standout on the resume of anyone involved. Not stars Lucille Ball or James Ellison, or supporting players Lee Bowman or Mantan Moreland, or even director Garson Kanin.
And yet.
This is only Kanin's second film, and it offers several glim read more

Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Oct 24, 2014
You probably recognize Carole Lombard in this group photo from March 1933 (she's seventh from right), but how many other Paramount personalities (mostly actors but a few directors as well) can you identify? Since you probably don't have all day to figure things out, here's the list, from that June's read more

Next month, board the Metro
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on May 21, 2014
Not "Metro" as in Metrorail (which people do in my former home grounds of Washington and my future home of Los Angeles), but as in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, arguably the best known of classic Hollywood studios (it turns 90 this year), and one Carole Lombard was fairly familiar with.The blog Silver Scenes read more
