She did play one there, but the dress is decidely different.

Well, I'd say they were Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald in Noel Coward's "Bitter Sweet."

Glad you like the new thread.
And, yes, on all three.

"We Were Dancing"

Last week, I saw someone selling a package of about 200 movie star portraits from movie magazines of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I immediately thought these would be great for the board. The package arrived a few days ago!
I will post 5 pictures each day. (Now, it would be wonderful if the admins were to remove that right side column of "Popular Forums, "Popular Discussions," etc. and allow us to have pictures the size they should be. I mean, hey, this is a visual medium we are discussing in these forums and that means posting images about them.)

Why don't you post who you think are the dancers in the image first.

Oh, this is so unfair. You don't ask that of anyone else. LOL, I make one mistake about Roz and must suffer penance for the rest of my life?
Sigh...
Norma Shearer and Melvyn Douglas.
And the title, since I am not allowed to say it yet, is what is happening in the picture.

Kyle,
Since there have been a few attempts on that one,and I think I know what it is, would you mind if I ventured forth my guess?

Regular articles and ads will return tomorrow. In the meantime, each Sunday of 1939, I will be presenting articles and ads from a 1939 movie magazine. Let's start with

Okay, well, then, they are They Met in Bombay and Two-Faced Woman. I'll leave the next group for someone else.
But I really like these pieces.
-
LOL, those two were directed at me, weren't they?
-
In my defense, I didn't think it looked like Roz but it looked even less like Lamarr. Really. IMO.

Sorry, lz, it's The Bad Man as I mentioned a few posts below. He plays Pancho Lopez (see wanted poster).

D'oh! I thought that was supposed to be William Powell. My error! (or the artist's -- ; p)
"Third Finger, Left Hand"

Then instead of No Time for Comedy, Come Live With Me.
And instead of Love Crazy, Shadow of the Thin Man. I know that lz said Thin Man, but that kooky hat was made fun of in the later film. Sigh, or else it is just another one from I Love You Again and Kyle is enjoying himself.

I don't remember being witness to any Last Picture Show closings, but at one point I did go back to my hometown and things were changed. One of the places where I spent much of my Saturday matinees was gone.
No, wait, there was one theatre I used to go to on weekends...several miles out of town...and I had bought a lot of posters and lobby cards and the like from them. The manager told me at one point the theatre was closing down and I bought a boxload of junky pressbooks and the like from him, but also bought a theatre seat from him that he fixed up for me with a wooden base. I used to have that sitting in my livingroom way back then when I would watch movies on TV.
Kinda miss it, now. : (

I think they might. My choice for a film in the tribute is one of my favorite Peter Falk performances, Pocketful of Miracles.

Kyle,
I didn't see a reply to my guesses yesterday. Were they all correct?
If so, I'd like to step in here after lz and say today's are:
"No Time for Comedy" and "Waterloo Bridge"
"The Bad Man" and "Love Crazy"
