The Hurrell photographs for Riptide (1934) are great, just dripping with sex ... even those with Herbert Marshall in them! Norma gave it all for the shoot. No underwear to mess up the lines of the gown. Her two accompanying male stars exhausted by the vibes on set. Gooooo, Norma!
Riptide is available to stream on TCM until June 5th.
Thanks to Carrie for the official word about the June 30 release of Letty Lynton.
An only 40-day countdown remains. Gosh, but how many years has it been since we began wondering when or if Letty would ever be available in a viewable format?
So ... the TCM Festival did decide to have a second showing of Letty Lynton, on May 3rd. What a thrill for those lucky people.
According to Joan Crawford's grandson, who has been involved in bringing Letty back from the grave, the DVD will be released in the "coming months." What a tease! Anyway, I need to start saving money for that 4G Blu-Ray. Might be a good time to buy that 4G TV.
Jerry and Letty find romance ...
He looks even better in the white suit.
The movie is Louisa (1950), directed by Alexander Hall who also directed Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941). The plot: two guys (Edmund Gwynn and Charles Coburn) fight over one girl (Spring Byington). Yeah, another Bob/Clark/Joan movie ... well, sort of.
Anyway, Edmund decides on flowers and an evening in the parlor. Spring is interested.
Charles goes all out with assistance from Mother Nature. Again, Spring is interested, the little hussy.
Spring's son, Ronald Reagan gets involved, demanding Edmund watch himself. Picking on a very diminutive Edmund ... for shame Ron!
The boys decide to settle the matter once and for all. I'm putting my money on Edmund.
