Photo Friday: What If?

For some odd reason, this illustration makes me think of something that would hang above the fireplace. And in that same odd thought, what if Philip Monrell wasn't nuts? Back to reality...a photo/illustration from 1941's Rage in Heaven.

Photo Friday: Life With Cotten

Today's Photo Friday takes a slightly different slant, highlighting photos from the Life magazine collection. The below are from the excellent Shadow of a Doubt.

If I may add a small editorial comment, how in the world did Joe get bumped from the cover of TCM's Dec. magazine for Herbie the Love Bug?

Photo Friday: 1930

Sorry for being late on this, technically it's Photo Saturday...

Today's still is a portrait from 1930, attributed on the back to The Big House.

Photo Friday: Joseph Cotten

Ahh, Since You Went Away - the WWII bookend to The Best Years of Our Lives. Went Away always had that "too much female" feel to me, then Joe shows up, which levels things out. This particular still is from said film. I do have to add, I love the hangar dance scene - great lighting. I especially love AAF logo against the backdrop of the hangar.

I think I'm pretty confident in saying the above is a companion to the below 1932 George Hurrell photo for Letty Lynton based on the suit & tie.

Photo Friday: RQL Radio

Props to funny radio people, one of which is a new favorite: Robert Q. Lewis. Before his television shows, radio shows, game shows, and movie appearances (shew), Robert Q. was a disc jockey. My favorite tidbit: he played David Rose's song The Stripper (you'd know if if you heard it) for 45 minutes nonstop on his music show. Want to request a song on the show? Not that day - you got The Stripper instead.

This late thought just in: Now I know why this stunt resonates with me. A local morning radio show did the same with Roxanne (and Johnny Cash, but I enjoyed that) - over and over and over....

Photo Friday: Young at MGM

I realized I've been neglecting Mr. Young lately, so today's Photo Friday theme is a promotional card printed by MGM.

Photo Friday: Private Lives

Elyot & Sybil (Una Merkel) in a more civil moment. I love how Norma Shearer's character later says "Sybil" in that condescending tone.
