And Just What Are You Doing, Cary?

 After so many years in the business, it is easy to understand how an actor/photographer can run out of poses for a movie's publicity shots.  I'd say Mr. Grant is giving it his all, but ... 

1959 ... Lordy, has it really been 67 years since Petticoat came out?!  I was in my Cary Grant/Clark Gable stage at the time and remember the movie in quite some detail.  (Just don't ask me what I had for dinner last night ...)

Yeah, he could've passed as the villain!

A really nice photograph.  Love all the light angles, the highlighted white tie, Bob's pouty lips ...

Who's In the Doghouse?

"Lt. Commander Robert Montgomery and Mrs. Montgomery at the premiere of 'Since You Went Away' directed by John Cromwell."  June, 1944

It's Bob's expression:  does he look on the verge of losing it, or what?  Betty, as is highly unusual, is walking a distance away and in front of Bob.  She looks very stern/determined, as in daring anyone to get in her way, or for Bob to say anything to her at all.  Since You Went Away is 2 hrs. and 57 min. long.  That must have been a very exhausting experience.

Goooo, Charles, Irene and Charles!!

 KEEP IT CLEAN - Charles Boyer, Irene Dunne and Charles Coburn do a polish job on the status of the town's hero in Columbia's gay comedy, "Together Again."


I can't imagine a more awkward trio of pitchmen.  But the old pros that they are, all have their best grins for the cameraman.
