For Carole Lombard's fans I recommend a very fine-written biography by Mr. Wes D. Gehring "The Hoosier Tornado", I think it's still available on-line (Amazon.com)..also if you can get your hands on Frederick W. Ott's out-of-print "The Films of Carole Lombard"...There are excellent stills and photographs, as well as all kinds of feedback about her films & life.
For Vivien Leigh's fans: Alezander Walker's "Vivien".
For Jean Arthur's fans, the excellent "The Actress Nobody Knew" by John Oller.
Myrna Loy fans, her great autobiography "Being and Becoming", and also Lawrence J. Quirk's "The Films of Myrna Loy"...lots of photographs and info...
Welcome Kendra!

Mongo, I hope everythin's all right where you live, you've already had enough with Charley...really hope that "Frances" will lose its power and will not harm anyone...

I think MovieJoe might be right....but for another guess: The Thief Of Bagdad (1924)
-
It also may be "Rage In Heaven" 1941, co-starring Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders...never seen it
-
I'm almost sure is 1940 "Busman's Honeymoon" (aka "Haunted Honeymoon")

Doomed Montgomery Clift

Now...recalling...Marge also played a part in one of my all-time-very fave pictures, Peter Sellers' "The Party" (dir. by Blake Edwards), she played the Senator's wife???...What a great comedy!!!
-
Weren't both of them also in 1952's "Lovely To Look At"?...they danced to Jerome Kern's "I Won't Dance"...if I remember it well...it also featured Kathryn Grayson, Howard Keel, Red Skelton and Ann Miller...Ann Miller had a fantastic number..."I'll be hard to handle"
BTW "Lovely To Look At" is a remake of "Roberta", starring Irene Dunne, Randolph Scott, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers.

Yes TCM has aired some Columbia classics, like "Pal Joey", "Bell, Book & Candle", "It happened One Night", "Los Horizon", "Mr. Deeds goes to town", but it must have been done on "lease" terms, 'cos they not belong to TCM's Library. I don't know under what arrangements they've scheduled them, but maybe they are not allowed to use them for the "Summer Under the Stars" Schedule. don't know?
Almost all of Rita's landmark films, were mas at Columbia: "Gilda", "Cover Girl", "Lady from Shanghai", "Down To Earth", "Salome", "Pal Joey", "You?ll Never Get Rich", "You Were Never Lovelier", etc... and many of them have been scheduled at TCM, at least once.

Hayworth1918, how rude of you to start treating board members like that, of course Rita Hayworth was lovely, but remember her main films mostly belong to the Columbia-Sony catalog, and they do not belong to TCM, so I'm sure that's the reason she was not featured in Summer Under the Stars.
Everyone of us have our own faves, but what you're doing is not mature, nor civil...we're not used to this way of bashing people and classic actors on these boards.
Olivia de Havilland deserves all our respect, she is a living legend, and a LADY, besides being a great star & actress.
Myrna Loy is another legend, no "low-budget" star at all...what dou you mean? And she's death, she deserves RESPECT.
If you feel proud of being young & behaving that way, bashing Classicsfan as "Granny", I'll quote one of my fave lines from Mildred Pierce, when Eve Arden, speaking about Crawford's "Mildred" having to put up with Ann Blyth's disgusting character, playing her daughter "Veda", said: "Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young".

Myrna Loy was one of the greatest Hollywood stars of all time, debuting in 1924-1925...she made more than 100? films....amnong them, landmark stuff like "The Thin Man", "Libeled Lady", "The Best Years of Our Lives ", "From the Terrace", "When Ladies Meet", "The Animal Kingdom", "Cheaper By The Dozen", "Penthouse", "Mr. Blandings Build his Dreamhouse", "Arrowsmith", "Love Crazy", "Broadway Bill".....She's a myth!

I thought of the Jazz Singer (1927), 'cos I knew it's the first talking picture, although not all-talking, it had dialogues, but I misunderstood the question, 'cos Lights of New York was the first feature film with all synchronous dialogue, the first all-talking pic.
who's your favorite movie star and why?

Cary Grant and Kate Hepburn, both simply SUPREME.
I love their screen-personaes and they've got a wide-acting range (they're good at comedies, dramas, period films, thrillers, etc.)
