A somewhat bittersweet posting: Today in 1981, Robert Montgomery passed away. I'm not going to go overly fangirly here and blubber on - not my style. Instead, go take a few minutes out of your day, pop in a DVD, & watch your favorite Bob movie. I'd like to think that after all these years, he'd appreciate having not being forgotten to movie history.
I have to say that I'd think about Bob's movies a lot less if it weren't for your fabulous blog. Now I find myself actively seeking out his movies on TCM. "Classic Montgomery" gives Bob the recognition he deserves.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to remember Robert Montgomery-- I think I'll watch Blondie of the Follies or Hide Out tonight!
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand how Bob's pretty much forgotten today, when he was one of the kings of Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteBob may be gone, but certainly not forgotten. :)
Hey does anybody know when we are going to get a robert montgomery biograpy? It seems like every other movie star has one. Haven't we waited long enough?
ReplyDeleteI second your motion! I've heard of one potential writer on the project over the years, but he passed away.
