lavenderblue19 Posted February 20, 2011 Yes, of course glamourous, fabulous costumes, sexy pre-code lady Kay Francis. Good film.She has 3 different names in this film, 1 is a nickname she uses in the brothel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lavenderblue19 Posted February 20, 2011 The last time TCM showed this film, was I think about 3 years ago. It's one of her better ones. lana, cujas or metz will probably recognize this film. Thanks for thinking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted February 21, 2011 The film is "Mandalay" with Ricardo Cortez and Kay Francis...and Warner Oland as the owner of the bar... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted February 21, 2011 Oh, c'mon skip, I was having fun with this one. I've been wanting to post *Mandalay* for the longest time. When Kay comes down the stair case in that sparkly white gown, breathtaking . "Spot White" has to be one of the best nicknames I've ever heard in a film. Next to *Confession* , *Mandalay* is my favorite Kay Francis film. Glad you've seen *Mandalay*, you're up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FilmAficionado Posted February 23, 2011 Sorry, I didn't notice my name. Thanks for pointing it out to me Lavender. I'll gladly take a turn. A very beautiful and vain woman with many beaux marries a wealthy man to pay the debt her brothrer owes him. She give him the air, has a daughter and sends her away too. The years pass and her looks fade from age and disease. In the end both daughter and husband return, and she finally learns that true beauty comes from within.
