Let Us Not Forget

Bill, Bob and Joan, together in 1929!

 This is a 1929 issue of Cinearte, a Brazilian magazine.  Interesting coloring of a drawing of William Powell, a rather distracting red smudge on his right cheek.  Hey, at least his eyes are blue.  

Actually, the reason I bought the magazine was this photo of Bob and Joan.  A rather passionate pose, Bob grabbing her arm, Joan grabbing his collar.  Interesting kiss, Bob's nose being on the camera side.  And check out the thick head of hair on our young Mr. Montgomery.  A young actor in need of a hair stylist!

And a Great Merry Christmas from TCM

 My hat is off to TCM for showing SIX(!) Bob movies this month.  And good ones too.  Two have already had their first showing, No More Ladies (1935) and The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937).  Cheyney will be available for streaming until the 9th, but No More Ladies is scheduled for a full run until January 1st.

Hide-Out (1934) starts the 5th, Live, Love & Learn (1937) the 12th, Private Lives (1931) the 20th, and Bob's Christmas perennial Lady in the Lake (1946) the 22nd.   

Plenty of great escapism during a stressful time of year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Bob and Madge, From Cute to Handsome

And my, what a handsome couple.  Yes, it's Bob and Madge, again, appearing two years later in Fugitive Lovers (1934).  Going from cute couple in Lovers Courageous (1932) to handsome couple in just two years. Bob has matured quite a bit, definitely improving his acting skills.

I use the full photo for my wallpaper.  Nice way to start the morning.
