Tired, Perhaps, But More Likely Bored

 "Robert Montgomery picks a convenient spot to rest between scenes during the filming of his newest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring picture, "Lovers Courageous (1932)," which was directed by Robert Z. Leonard.

Bob Takes to the Air!

Bob, Burt Allenburg (a Hollywood agent), and Walter Pidgeon share a laugh at the Polo matches.  I am all for the way people would dress to attend sporting events, or most any public occasion.  Note Walter's boutonniere.  Classy.


It is 1945 and Robert Montgomery takes to the air on CBS, probably Lux Theater.  And it is a color photo!  You can just see the blue eyes.  


"Costume partying is a good old Hollywood custom.  Robert Montgomery, pleased as punch in his Scotch kilts, gallantly assists the Mrs."  Why do I think Bob is not wearing a rental.

Is there any movie you'd get up to see at 3:30 a.m.?

Just love original photographs, especially from the early 1930s.  Gorgeous quality, you can see it even when it is displayed in such small scale, as is the photo below.  You can see our Bob checking out the gun Chester Morris has, and not liking the situation he is in one bit.  


A good photograph allows me to blow up points of interest, the young Mr. Montgomery is always interesting.  Love that curly head of hair.  


The Big House (1930) utilized a large number of extras.  Great up on a theater screen, but a tad vision blurring on this blog.  


Bob and Chester are not in this shot, just Wallace Beery as Butch, everyone's favorite cellmate!  


The Big House will be shown on TCM this Wednesday at 3:30 a.m. PT.  Have not seen it for a while.  Hopefully it will be streamed for a while afterwards, 3:30 a.m. not being a great viewing time, for any movie.
