'Swing' to sheet music
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 15, 2015
"Swing High, Swing Low" with Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray isn't as remembered as it should be today, even though it was Paramount's most profitable film for all of 1937. It's probably because no complete 35 mm print exists, and what's currently available includes 16 mm footage from director Mit read more

Eight is great (happy birthday, dear blog)!
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Jun 13, 2015
That's Carole Lombard with her kid (that's the term used to refer to baby goats).
