A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Jun 6, 2014
I
admit it – I’m a little gaga over early sound star John Love Boles (yes, that is his real middle
name – so fitting, don’t you think?). In an era filled with stalwart and
woodenly handsome leading men, John Boles fit the bill but proved to be oh so
