Ah, Mr. Taylor...you were a hunk.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Robert Montgomery programming.

A Jolly Good Trip!

"FAREWELL TO HOLLYWOOD --- Film player, Lt. Robert Montgomery, U.S. Navy, returned to Hollywood for a farewell greeting to old friends before departing toward Washington, D.C, for final instructions prior to embarking upon active duty with the fleet 'somewhere in the world.'  Gregory LaCava and Irene Dunne bid Montgomery a jolly good trip."   March 11, 1942.

The Wildest!

"It was a wild, wild place in those days," (Lawrence) Olivier said of Hollywood in 1931, where he spent long nights away from his wife and in the company of actresses like Lili Damita or Elissa Landi.  "And Bob Montgomery, Doug Fairbanks and I were the wildest."  From "Possessed:  The Life of Joan Crawford."

Everybody's Favorite! Walt Roesner?

Let's see, Fox Talking News features President Hoover and Charles Lindbergh.  Early tickets are 35 cents.   A live stage show includes the "Sunkist Beauties Co. of 100."   And the leader of the pit orchestra gets bigger billing than Bob.  In a time long ago and far away.
