cotabluew2 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Please help! Two movies that I want to find on video or see if they are coming up soon, but I have totally forgotten the titles or whole movie plots. Number one is a movie with I believe Claudette Colbert and Rudy Vallee,B&W, and I remember it was that she was on a yaght or ship with him, and pretended or really needed help and she was in a shop and he was buying her clothes, and she bought an outfit with bracelet cut sleeves, and he bought her a gorgious bracelet just to go with the outfit. I seem to remember an underdog man who loved her maybe. Anyone know? Also the name of a Jean Harlow movie that was just aired on TCM this or last month, it had her in a boarding house room with like the landlady, and she looked out the window when her date honked and realized a guy she thought was rich who was picking her up was really not because he was in someone elses car when she first took a ride/saw him. That is all I remeber and I so want to see it again! Please help if you can.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brackenhe Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I think the Claudette Colbert movie is "The Palm Beach Story." I don't know about the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotabluew2 Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 Yes, that one is The Palm Beach Story, it is me greenridg2 but on my own computer not my Mom's. Great, thanks! I ordered it from Barnes & Noble.com, but what about the Jean Harlow movie? I wish I knew more of the plot. The scene is she is all excited talking to the landlady because she finally thinks she met a rich man, but when she looks out her room window in this boarding house, she sees the guy she thought was rich in a junk car picking her up. Seems the nice car he was riding in the day before was not his- he was fixing/testing/whatever he was in it and it wasn't his. I don't think she was the star of the movie- maybe just had a part in it. Any Jean Harlow buffs recognize it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feaito Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Not seen all of Harlow's movies.....but in "Red-Headed Woman" she played a gold-digger....I've heard, it's very, very good, in a similar way as "Baby Face" with Barbara Stanwyck....I have it taped...so I'll confirm it later.

nickdimeo Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think the Harlow movie is The Girl From Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotabluew2 Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 You know, I read the movie summary for The Girl from Missouri on eBay in a listing and it is a likely cadidate, I watched so many Jean Harlow movies that day when they all came on TCM that I am getting them all confused. So I ordered it and when it gets here I will check it out. Thanks for the info! I appreciate it a bunch! I'll reply again when I figure out what movie it is, if someone else doesn't figure it out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicsfan1119 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi! You might also want to go to www.IMDb.com and look there at all of the movies that Harlow made. Unfortunately (because she died so young), there aren't a whole lot of them to get through, and you can go through each movie until you find one that seems to match the one you're looking for. If you can remember even one other actor's name in the movie, that will also help. Good luck! And, thanks for letting us know about your two "user names". :)ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotabluew2 Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 You can X Girl from Missouri off the list. I bought it and although it is an excellent movie it is not the one. Still searching..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feaito Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Then again, try Red Headed Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moviejoe79 Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I don't know if the scene you're looking for is from "Red Headed Woman," but definitely check it out - This movie's a scorcher from 1932 - made just before the Hollywood Production Code came into full swing. Harlow has some great lines in it, and she's her usual sexy/funny self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwtwbooklover Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Did you find the title to your Jean Harlow movie? You say you don't remember much well I remember A Jean Harlow movie but not its title ...do you remember any shooting....and Harlow leaves for London....where she meets a man named Andre{who was played by Cary Grant}...I always got tickled when Harlow had to say Andre because she said it with that Harlow voice Annnndre and thru the nose....Andre was in the military and he took Jean home to meet his father and he says a line that has stuck with me...the father asks Andre why do you want to marry this girl{it was during a war the 2 met} And Andre says because I think she'll make a charming widow.
