Somehow that song, or set of songs fits this first day of December.

Oh baby! Come to mama.

OMG, Bronxie, those are great choices for movie jobs! you are making me giggle.... I don't know, I'd put governess on the good jobs list if I could have an affair with Charles Boyer.... even if he was mad as a hatter. And I think "movie landlady" is priceless! LOL, you even have the lingo down, " such a gentleman!" I was thinking that Concentration Camp Commandant has got to be one of the worst jobs ever..... and stool pidgeon is a dead end career.

Rey, what a great list! I see a lot of my favorites on your list. Beautifully done. you make me want to watch them all again. I am so happy to see *Miracle of Morgan's Creek* on there. Also that *Foreign Correspondent* made it into your favorites. It's one of mine too. I really love the forties, even with the war films. There is a crispness, a rhythm and maybe a little bit of hope and urgency to the films of that period that I really like. With the influence of radio, the sound of a movie and the actor's voices are more important than at any other time I think. Plus they have those marvelous romances and then the later ghost stories. The dramas are more important with the background of war, and the comedies are zanier to get people's minds off of their troubles. Thanks for going to all the trouble of writing up the list, and thinking about each movie individually. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

I knew I shouldn't have said it. Now you will have a swelled head.

You have better taste than I gave you credit for.

Earrings of Madame de... Great Expectations Safe in Hell Me and My Gal The Scarlet Claw Along Came Jones A Day at the Races Wife vs. Secretary The Tattered Dress Plymouth Adventure I can't rank these: The Pearl of Death The Phenix City Story The Last Sunset

Ha ha! I'll have to look around and see if I have any other Betty photos. it may be tomorrow.

I loved those two too, Jeff! I keep finding photos of stars I like, then squirreling them away on my computer, only to forget that I have them. I'll double check the other threads, I think I saw the photos already. I scan for the stars I like, and then usually write about the ones that really pop out at me. What a cute little set of jammies!

I am very much enjoying your posts on the processes and thoughts involved in scoring silent films. That you take the time to think about the 'big picture" is to your credit. Not to digress, but am I to understand that original cue sheets survive for *The Way of All Flesh* ? God, it's awful not to have found a copy of the movie, but to be tantalized by the score from it.... maybe someday soon it will turn up.

I would go ahead and try to post the Mary Nolan. The worst that could happen is they'll remove it after we've all seen it. Toby Wing had a most athletic figure.

I adore Betty Bronson, such an unsung actress, so beautiful and gamine. Here are some sweet photos I had floating around in my computer. I like the last two, taken in what looks like maybe 1929? Hard to say. Her eyes look kind of sad in these last two shots.

Hee hee! The sexiest man alive. Now I am going to go find that episode and watch it. :x

Oh my, did they have to flee Russia during the revolution?

I've GOT to start watching Wagon Train! That sounds great! I love those kinds of literary borrowings.

I'm with Ugaarte - love the Pauline Stark, the Greta Nissen in the blue frock coat is to die for, and the Nita photo. As for the guy with Renee, to me he looks strongly like Richard Arlen, but it's probably Nils Asther, looking more open eyed than usual. Goodness knows it's not Paul Hurst!

Oooh, how did they do that? I love classics translated to other genres, like westerns, or teen movies like Clueless.

I adore the Dorothy Sebastian photo, Jeff! Perfect! She was the most photogenic of actresses. And that is by far the best photo of Leatrice Joy I can remember seeing. My bets are on Lillian for the mirror shot.

Hey, Chris! I heard this on a TV commercial and went looking for it because I liked it so much. For once, _I_ am posting classical music!

Wherever there's mead, I'll be there.....I have had it before and it's delicious, so I'll need one kovsh of each color. I'll put it on my Christmas list. Your mother was a lucky woman to have such a beautiful ring. I had a tiny square cut amethyst ring which was given me at birth, but I lost it sometime in a move and never found it again. I'd gladly replace it with the one shown on that site.

I haven't seen the Phenix Story, but am guessing it's another of the Confidential style noir films you love. Edited by: JackFavell on Nov 29, 2011 6:17 PM

WHY did I look? I don't know what a kovsch is, but it's obvious to me that I need one. or more. And a square cut Siberian Amethyst ring. It's my birthstone.

Little sisters have very bad memories! Take it from me. I'll check out the O.

I know! One doesn't automatically think, "Martin Balsam, sexiest man alive!" But he has a great voice and an appreciative eye.... giggle
