Tracy clued me in on this ad for Macy's that's running for their 150th. It's a clever combination of clips with classic stars touting or mentioning the store from way back when to today. What's with the escaping hippo?
Me...I'm a Gimbels girl.
This also got us talking about other ads with classic stars in them. The one that sticks in my mind is the Diet Coke series of ads with Cary Grant and others I can't remember. Argh, and it's not on YouTube like everything else out there.
Know of any other ads?

No More Ladies Trailer
Watching No More Ladies is one of my guilty pleasures in life. I love the film and watch it whenever it's on (or not, via DVD).
I ran into the below trailer for the film recently. Somehow the animated lion just doesn't seem to click with me and the plot of the film. Something about animation, alcohol, and cheating lovers that doesn't mix. Rowwwrrr...Robert Montgomery (I had to fit that in).

So Devine
I'm back - sort of. Vacation has taken it's toll on me and I would like to request another to recover.
On the flip side, the closest I've been to classic film this past week has been Kingman, Arizona - home to Andy Devine. They're proud of their native son, who grew up there as a child. Route 66 through town is named in his honor and I think every other store in town has a photo of him up. Good for them. I think I'm going to have to locate my copy of Island in the Sky and rest up a bit now...

On this Election Day, I'm jumping on the politics bandwagon - but with a Montgomery twist.
IKE is leaving the White House in January and so must Bob. Learn more in this New York Times Herald article from Nov. 17, 1960 compliments of CM staff researcher Tracy.
