CAMILLE

It is the perfect movie, the direction by Cukor is perfect, in the way he steard the movie away from the back-lot...Cukor gave us PARIS, Garbo plays the role she was born for and Robert Taylor is the perfect Armand, interesting note, the slight bump on Taylors nose was sugicaly erased after this fil...

Ruby Keeler had a wonderful, innocent quality very rare in film, and I think doing the movies she did for that era were done at the right time.
she had a perfect 1930's personality, and that is why she clicked in films...

Cover Girl

All my research says Rita sang only once in another movie called Miss Sadie Thompson, but as far as Cover Girl it was Miss Mears, now as for Kelly's character Danny I don't understand why he wouldn't want to see her get ahead, why was he so angry with her when she won the wedding cover contest? I lo...

Larraine Day gave her very best performance in this very interesting drama, of a modern day Cassandra, she is mad as a hatter, but the only man who understands her, and loves her the most, throws himself out the window and the audience is left, through a series of flashbacks, with a very engrossing ...
