The Very Thought of You surprised me. I didn't read Moira's introduction beforehand and thought the movie would be a comedy (the trailer must've given me that expectation), but I found the drama very pleasing. It seems there was an unusual number of closeups. I take it that's sometimes a sign of po...

Thank you for your welcome, jdb1 . Your description of Chad Hannah is tantalizing. I hope I'll get the chance to see it soon. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Fox continued their streak of boxed sets with a Fonda collection? I'm certainly looking forward to his day of films on TCM this August. The very p...

I had been talking about how much I like Dan Dailey just this morning, so I was quite interested in the discussion on this thread when I found it this afternoon. Dailey is a fellow who, once the proper role made me notice him, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching. His early MGM appearances in The Captai...

I'm glad you've had the opportunity to see The Gay Deception and So Ends Our Night , feaito. Those are two of my favorites of Frances' films and, I think, two of her best. Please do write about Frances' appearance in Monte Carlo when you see it. I've often wondered about the movie but have not yet b...

I mentioned the way Cary Grant plunges his hands into his pockets when he'sill at ease in a scene but I should include Frank Sinatra as well. Both actors do it quite often and I think it's the cutest thing. Hmmm, I'll have to watch for that this week. I don't recall a particular instance. Frank als...

Your Fay Bainter avatar is lovely. I like several Henry Fonda films too and I'm glad that TCM has chosen to include h...

I was watching The Major and the Minor again tonight, which got me thinking about a Ginger -ism I've noticed in several of her films. Ginger often leans on something behind her, putting her right arm back to reach it, her left hand on her hip. This stance appears in The Major and the Minor during he...

I'm excited about Rita Hayworth day, particularly for Affectionately Yours (1941). I once had a dark and rather worn copy of this Warner Bros. comedy. It will be nice to see it again. Also looking forward to Henry Fonda day on August 24, which begins with three of the earlier titles I've been wantin...
