Honoring All Who Served

 

Happy Birthday, Mr. McCrea!

   Quite the hunk.  

                             Joel McCrea, b. November 5, 1905

Political commercials almost over for another year ... aw, shucks.

STARS AT HOLLYWOOD PINK PROBE

Screen actors Robert Montgomery, left, and Ronald Reagan, right, are pictured in the sidelines at the House Un-American Activities Committee hearing on Hollywood communism after Montgomery left the witness stand.  In his concluding statement to the probers, Montgomery said:  "The impression is gathered that only a small minority in Hollywood is fighting communism and fascism.  This is exactly the reverse of the picture."  10/23/47

Happy Halloween!!

 I'd be hesitant to drink anything while being wrapped up from head-to-toe.  Or was part of Elsa's wrappings an adult diaper?  Hadn't thought of that before.

I bet he wishes he could have a cigarette.

"Robert Montgomery awaits the signal from the control room to go "on the air" with his NBC television program.  He is host and producer of "Robert Montgomery Presents Your Lucky Strike Theatre," presented alternate Monday nights on the NBC video network."  Stamped April 20, 1950.  

1950 was a big year for Bob, both professionally and on the home front (the spousal switch).  The tension shows.  I hope the smile appeared in time.  

  

For the record:  Night Flight (1933) is available to stream on TCM until Nov. 18th.  

AND, Petticoat Fever (1936) is available through November 25th.  Great movie.  And Bob is great in Night Flight.  His entrance in the movie is just superb.
