And how about that moment, Sue Sue, when Sue Sue walks into the dance and all the visiting young ladies are sporting a certain hairstyle?

I just love Cary Grant, primarily in comedies. Somehow he doesn't really float my boat attraction-wise, though I can plainly see what a handsome dude he is. In fact, I all the more appreciate his ability to poke fun at himself and do such graceful pratfalling because he is so dignified and handsome....

Moira, I love Brian Aherne. My favorite movie of his by far is the adorably goofy Merrily We Live --a screwball comedy in which everyone in the cast positively sparkles. What you say about Rita Hayworth's vulnerability is so true. I think the films in which she consistently exuded the most confidenc...

It was kinda funny in this movie to see the 38-year-old Brian Aherne playing the dad of Glenn Ford (who was about 14 years younger). He kept sticking out his tummy as if to show us he had a middle-age paunch! I fell asleep and will need to take another look at the movie, but it seemed to veer from c...

Thanks so much, folks. You really made my day.

Those are gorgeous, and excellent likenesses. You could be an illustrator. Seriously.

On the Kay Francis message board at IMDb are some fascinating discussions of these books and Francis' life.

For some reason the first thing that popped into my head was the spill Myrna Loy takes when her character is introduced in The Thin Man. But several moments of repartee that follow between her and Powell would be just as good. Nick: I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune. Nora: I read where you...

Thanks, kind sir!

The way he casually proves what a sharpshooter he is and shows them he can be tough is one of my favorite scenes of all movies. A wonderful film.
