New Around Here

As you have noticed by now, the site has a whole new look and that would not have been possible without Kendra of vivandlarry.com. A huge thank you to her and her brilliantness!

I still have some updating to do–for instance, the radio shows don’t all work yet–but all will be done soon.

Cleaning off my desk this week…

New reviews posted on the pages for Hell Divers, Polly of the Circus, Forsaking All Others, Call of the Wild, China Seas, San Francisco, Cain and Mabel and Test Pilot.

When I found the review for Test Pilot (a very favorable one), next to it was a review for Carole Lombard’s Fools for Scandal:

It’s not a good metaphor to call several feels of film a straw but anyway this is the one that probably will break the back of that slapstick camel Carole Lombard’s been riding so long. Of all the inane, pointless, labored comedies, this is it.

Carole plays an actress visiting Paris incognito; she meets Fernand Gravet, penniless man about town. He follows her to London, gets a job as a chef in her household, and a lot of talk–rather puerile scandal led by Isabel Jeans–ensues. Ralph Bellamy is the dull fiance who gets left in the fog, an identical repeat on his role in “The Awful Truth.” An honest criticism must insist that warmed-over film material is essentially tasteless.

Yikes.

Also added some more new pictures in the gallery–these are of Clark with Sylvia and Clark with Kay.

Sorry about no “rumor” post yesterday. I spent a long time writing it and WordPress decided to refresh out of nowhere and delete the entire post. After a few choice words, I was a bit too frustrated to start over. But I will post one this week.
