ROBERT MONTGOMERY Presents...
Posted: April 29th, 2009, 10:04 pm
I've developed a crush on Robert Montgomery.
There. I've said it. I admit it. You heard it here, first!
I've recently come to appreciate Robert Montgomery after seeing him in "Night Must Fall." That performance opened my eyes and heart to him. In May, a whole slew of his films will be presented by TCM. He appears in some films with his frequent 1930's screen queen co-star, Norma Shearer; in the 1940's, he appears with his equal 1930's icon: Carole Lombard. He tries his hand at directing and works with the inimitable Woody Van Dyke. And then there's him with the Duke. If you've a mind to join me on this thread, please let's talk about Robert Montgomery. If I'm missing any film, lemme know. I've posted this at TCM City. But there's nothing like an Oasis!
