As a Dietrich fan, my first exposure to Jean Arthur was A Foreign Affair . She was wonderful. Her shock and horror seeing all the American servicemen with frauliens as she's on the grand tour of Berlin, then later getting herself picked up by two of the most reprehensible miscreants in Berlin! And I...

I watched A Woman of Affairs on Garbo day. I hadn't seen that one. God, Garbo was amazing in her silents. She did everything from young exuberent girl who is sure everyone loves her to jaded woman of the world, to the tragedy of losing a baby (and her mind). Wasn't so impressed with Two Faced Woman ...

I'd like to add Red Headed Woman . Wow. Not only was Jean Harlow BAD, she didn't even suffer for it! OK, she loses her rich husband, but she goes to France and finds a nice rich old man to pay the bills and she gets to keep Charles Boyer. Would love to see Love me Tonight and Madame Satan . DOn;t su...

Silent Stars and A Woman's View by Jeanine Bassinger are both good informative books. The first takes a number of silent stars, including the Talmadge sisters, Swanson and Pola Negri, Tom Mix and William S Hart and even Rin Tin Tin and gives an overview of their careers and films. The second discus...

Moviola
I read in another thread that there was a movie version of this book? Does anyone know if it's available on VHS or DVD? I really enjoyed the book (and just about anything Garson Kanin wrote, actually) and would love to see the film, even if it's bad.
Thanks for any info!

I read a book once called The Girls , mostly because it featured Marlene Dietrich and Tallulah Bankhead pretty prominently. In the preface, the author frankly says she has no actual proof of anything she claims. Apparently, she combed through reams of newspaper and magazine articles, FBI files and s...

I've been a Beatle's fan since I was 12 and dug an old copy of Sgt Pepper's out of a box of garage sale stuff at my grandma's (it was my rebel-biker-going-straight-to-hell uncle's album). My son knew the names of all the Beatles by age 2 (and had a goldfish named Ringo). We have a rule in my house (...

The Quiet Man
Wow. I finally watched this movie the other morning and was pleasantly surprised. I usually avoid John Wayne movies, but this was one of those movies everyone tells you to watch (Like Random Harvest , which I still have managed to avoid). Beautiful scenery--looked just like Ireland should look (but ...
