 It appears I have the flu.  My new goal is to survive the year and begin the blog anew on Jan. 4th, 2022.   May your New Year's Eve be far better than mine!!!

BULLETIN: Just noticed this ...

What's the Christmas season without it ... TCM will be showing Lady in the Lake (1946) this evening at 9:00 p.m. PT/Midnight ET.  If nothing else, catching the opening credits should help get you into the Christmas mood.

Office Christmas parties certainly have changed over the years.

Fa La La La La ... and a Merry Christmas!

 Taking off Thanksgiving week was a great idea for me.  Eased the stress.  It was so good that I have decided to do the same for Christmas.  Besides, you guys are too busy with your lives to check in on Bob and friends.  We'll be back Tuesday the 28th.  

Meanwhile, love and kisses from Jo Anne Worley.  

Waiting ... Hating ... Hoping ...

 This one-page piece on The Big House (1930) came with a group of clippings.  The magazine's name is not on the page, and neither is an author's name.  I'm guessing it might be straight from MGM's publicity office, without the pretense of it being written by a reporter for the magazine.  Anyway, it is a different take on PR releases.  

Poor Constance Wanted Bob, Got Franchot

 From the November 18, 1933, issue of Picture Show Magazine, one picture story of When Ladies Meet (1933) and two short articles featuring Mr. Montgomery.  

Wonder what happened to "Two Thieves" with Gable.  Sounds like a much more interesting project for Bob than Moulin Rouge.
