Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life

I have always liked this photo of Bob and Audrey Totter, mostly because of the look on Audrey's face.  It was some time before I noticed the bracelet Bob is wearing.


Bob also wore a bracelet during the filming of  They Were Expendable.  It is the only other time I have noticed him wearing it. 


 I some how doubt Bob was making a fashion statement.  Do you know the significance of the bracelet?  Perhaps a holdover from his military service or a token of remembrance from his family when he went overseas?  Always curious about everything Montgomery, and every once in a while I actually find an answer!  Once in a while...

Adolphe, Verree, Betty and Bob on the Town

Adolphe Menjou and Bob Montgomery both dressed elegantly, drove an ambulance in France (Menjou in WWI, Bob in WWII) and seemingly admired Verree Teasdale.  This photo is dated November 27, 1933 ... a simple Thanksgiving evening spent with friends?  Looks just like the gathering at our Thanksgiving ... yeah, sure.

New Elizabeth Montgomery Book

We would be remiss if we didn't mention the release of Twitch Upon a Star: The Bewitched Life and Career of Elizabeth Montgomery. Am I going to read it, probably not (but Kathy might...and give us a review ;0)  Not much interest in my end about her.

Now the real question: Who was a better Darrin?  Dick York or Dick Sargent?

Dick York of course.

That is all.

Cagney and Montgomery (X 2)

Speaking of Cagneys ... and Montgomerys.

James Cagney, Jr., and Robert Montgomery, Jr., temporarily took over their famous fathers' chairs during location shooting in San Diego, Cal., of The Gallant Hours.

The Third Cagney


Robert Montgomery glances through the program of the Warner Bros. picture “The Strawberry Blonde,” while the star of the film James Cagney and the producer Bill Cagney look on. The boys are attending the huge Strawberry Blonde party held before the preview of the picture.
