My Pet Claudette

[filmlat]

This is my favorite movie genre and I really love all the great ladies of romantic comedy - Lombard, Loy, Stanwyck, Hepburn, Dunne, Arthur, Russell, Rogers, Harlow, West - but my very favorite is Claudette Colbert. I just love her in everything but especially comedies. I think she is the greatest romantic comedienne of them all.

An excellent list of ladies. I agree with you about Claudette Colbert. She was so classy and very funny. My favorite is "Palm Beach Story". Though it's not a comedy (which I'm sure you know) I also enjoyed her in "Three Came Home."

 

I saw her in a stage play in Baltimore back in the 80s. She was starring with Rex Harrison in "The Kingfisher". Don't remember much about the play but I remember watching her pretty much the whole time. It was a real treat to see her in person.

My favorite movie of her's "The Egg And I" with Fred McMurray. It's so full of laughs. The story keeps you wondering what will happen next. Of course, it doesn't hurt, that Ma and Pa Kettle,(Main & Kilbride) keep the story, funny.

Claudette was sooooo good in all of her films! In romantic comedy, I think she really out-did herself in "It Happened One Night" with Clark Gable. When Gable was trying to thumb a ride with no luck, and she had success on her first try--with a little leg--was a real hoot!

For a real tear-jerker, watch "Since You Went Away". One of the most emotionally draining pictures I have ever seen. And her "Cleopatra" was the Best! (Of course, the costumes she wore were stunners!) She was quite an under-rated actress, in my opinion.
