Guilt Is Important

This is from 'Broadway Danny Rose.' It's one of my favorite movies. I long thought of 'Barry Lyndon' as my all time favorite. But then with my mix of low self-esteem, presumption and self-importance I decided that, even though 'Barry Lyndon' is very beautiful and well made that its theme is not lofty enough. So I moved 'Chinatown' up to number one.

Flapper Girl

This blog, Flapper Girl, is, I think, in some Slavic language. The singer is Lidija Ruslavanova (1900-1973), who I don't know from a lamp post. But I suspect she was a star of stage and screen in her snowy homeland. I'm only sharing it because I enjoyed it.

Blogs With Old Movies But Without Politics

The first site is called All Talking! All Singing! All Dancing! It's about the early talking pictures.

Here are are a couple of clips from the site. The first is from a movie called 'Chinese Fantasy.' It starred Rin Tin Tin and Myrna Loy.

Now here's a clip starring Alice White in Show Girl In Hollywood. They used to churn out the musicals. Now they're rare. I have to figure the cost/benefit ratio is off putting.

When I was a child I saw 'Giant,' 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,' 'How to Marry a Millionaire.' 'Friendly Persuasion,' and many other movies in drive-in theaters. From Another Old Movie Blog here is a mash up of some ads for drive-ins. Warning: your head might explode if you're in the habit of playing the race card.
