laffite Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Name that movie ! Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Laffite, The photo of Loretta is from the early 1930`s. My guess is "Midnight Mary" a pre code that she made in 1933. Link to post Share on other sites
laffite Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You mean you had to guess? I would have thought an expert like you would know this right away (I secretly believe that you did.) She is so particularly beautiful in this movie it almost takes your breath away. Those eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Laffitte, I haven`t seen all of Loretta`s early 1930`s movies. The beautiful white satin gown and beaded hat that she wore in the nightclub scene stayed with me. Loretta was stunning in this movie. Link to post Share on other sites
laffite Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 She was her most beautiful in this one, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
chandler5710 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi, I just got back from being interviewed for a new Tyrone Power box set. This one has several Loretta films: Cafe Metropole, Second Honeymoon and Love is News. Loretta's daughter, Judy Lewis was at the taping as well. Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hi Chandler, Thanks for the good news. I will defintely buy the box set when it arrives on the market. The only movie that I have seen Tyronne and Loretta in is "Suez". What a pleasure to see Judy Lewis at the taping. She loved her mother, and I eagerly awaite to hear what you both say.

butterscotchgreer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 great pic of loretta laffite!! i just love her in Midnight Mary!! i showed this one to grandmama to see if she could get it right, and sure enough she did. heehee! Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 hey maureen!! i finally got her movie road to lourdes!! it is such a great movie, but it is part of her show. it even has her triwling her dress while closing the door before the movie starts. in addition to TCM my grandmama also watches EWTN on occasion and she spotted them playing it on there so she recorded it for me, b/c she knows i love any loretta movie! plus lourdes iswhere st. bernadette was from. heehee! have you seen it yet?

MissGoddess Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Did y'all catch WEEKEND MARRIAGE this morning on TCM? Loretta looked so lovely in it. Norman Foster (boring) and GeorgiePorgie Brent (cute!) costarred. I wish I had known sooner or I would have recorded it. I like all her pre-codes. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 no i didnt! i wanted to badly, but then again i have it on DVD, so its okay. heehee! i just get so excited when these movies play on TV so the whole world can see them with me. Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The movie reminded me a wee bit of SATURDAY'S CHILDREN which starred John Garfield and Ann Shirley. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 oh i havent seen Saturday's Children in a long time. i remember watching it at grandmama;s house though. yeah i could see how it is similar. i remember thinking how handsome john garfield was in it. heehee! Link to post Share on other sites
MissGoddess Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I think the similarity lies in the plot point of the girl's older sister (Lee Patrick/Aline MacMahon) convincing girl (Loretta/Ann) to trick the boy (John/Norman) into proposing just before he's off to take a job in South America. After that ensues usual marriage woes. My favorite scenes are between always delightful Aline MacMahon and her sarcastic husband, played by funny Roscoe Karnes. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 yes i think you are right about this sweet april. wow! they are more al ike than i was originally thinking. thats interesting. those scenes are some of my favorites too. tey are too cute! im always in the mood for either of these movies.

I'm always in the mood for Aline MacMahon and Rosco Karnes, as well as Frank McHugh, Hugh Herbert, Edward Everett Horton, Una Merkel and all those other marvelous 1930s familiar faces.

cashette Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi Theresa, No I have not seen "Road To Lourdes". I know that it is available for sale on her website, and another Loretta site that I recently discovered. Loretta has a my space.com site that is worth visiting. Photos are posted, and her son Chris and daughter-in-law Linda have written nice memories of Loretta. Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi Miss Goddess, Darn I missed "Weedend For Marriage" on Tuesday. My vcr hasn`t been recording properly, and I didn`t notice the movie in my Now Playing. I enjoy Loretta`s precode movies too, and I have never seen this movie before. Norman Foster was soon to be Loretta`s brother in law, and we both enjoy George Brent. Link to post Share on other sites
butterscotchgreer Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i saw those pics and read those memories everyone wrote about her. i just love that site! it is bookmarked as one of my favorites on my computer. heehee! i printed out all those coloring pages because i love to color when watching my sappy movies sometimes and when i color one i always go back and print it out again. heehee! i know its something a 6 year old, but coloring is highly underrated! its so fun!

cashette Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi Theresa, Wow! A Man`s Castle" will finally be shown on TCM Monday, June 30 at 10am. I have waited a long time to see the film where Loretta and Spencer Tracy fell in love.TCm will also be showing "Bedtime Story" in June. They have enough films of Loretta`s in their vaults to give her serious consideration for SOTM.A night of Loretta`s pre code films would be very desirable.. ! Link to post Share on other sites
cashette Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 TCM will be showing two more of Loretta`s pre code films in June. "The Truth About Youth" will be shown on June 12th at 9:30 am. "Grand Slam" is scheduled for June 30th at 8:45 am. "The Farmer`s Daughter" will be shown on June 28th in a salute to the films of Ethel Barrymore. Link to post Share on other sites
