TV Tuesday: Jack Benny and Mel Blanc on The Tonight Show (1974)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 30, 2010
Mel Blanc somehow manages to keep a straight face while he demonstrates the hilarious sound effects he created for Jack Benny's radio show. Benny and Johnny Carson can't help collapsing into giggles. Check out that shag carpeting. It looks like they're sitting in a grassy field! read more

Monday Serenade: The King of Jazz (1930)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 29, 2010
I love this lively closing number from the early Technicolor musical King of Jazz (1930). It isn't really a serenade, but it makes me smile, so I had to share. This is the perfect rebuttal to anyone who tells you early musicals were clunky. read more

Saturday Morning Cartoon: The New Three Stooges
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 27, 2010
I have to admit I don't get the Three Stooges. I have an idea of where in their routines I am meant to laugh, but the giggles never come. Instead, I always watch them wearing my confused face. That said, I do admire how well they translate to cartoons. I suppose it makes sense, as their whole act se read more

TV Tuesday: How To Marry a Millionaire, the Television Show
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 23, 2010
Yes, from 1957 to 1959, How to Marry a Millionaire was TV show! It starred Merry Anders, Lori Nelson and Barbara Eden before her I Dream of Jeannie days. Eden steals the show as the bubbly Loco. Despite sharing a name with the Betty Grable character in the original, this Loco is really more of a hyb read more

Monday Serenade: Clara Bow Sings
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 22, 2010
Well, as you can see from this promo, Clara Bow wasn't meant to be a musical star. That said, she's awfully cute--and quite a sport for dancing and singing when she was terrified to even speak on film. After hearing the many stories of Bow's negative experiences with the talkies, I was so read more
