Roz, Cesar, Walter & Franchot - I'd Go See That Movie!

 Sorry about the absence of a Tuesday blog entry.  Three-day holidays always mess things up for me ... as in "What day is it, Hon?"  And he replied, "Wednesday, Dearest."  And I said, "Oh, Crap!"  Anyway, let's give Thursday a try.

Roz Russell was a great actress.  She mastered both comedy and drama roles, a rarity.  Below, she shows she can 'out ham' even Marie Wilson!

I've always been a fan of both Cesar Romero and Walter Pidgeon.  They both had long and productive careers, plenty of opportunities to watch and admire their work.  Looks like Cesar is the bad guy in this movie.  Not sure why the heroine would need to cringe in fear because Cesar is pointing his finger at them.  Maybe there wasn't a gun available at the photo session?

There are numerous excellent portraits of Franchot Tone.  The camera loved the young Mr. Tone, much like the young Mr. Montgomery.
