I especially love Norma Shearer and "Blonde Bette Davis" movies--just saw Ex-lady a few weeks ago--In addition to scouring Netflix and Amazon, I've managed to get a small handful of pre-code DVDs from ebay. (A friend of mine is going to loan me her VCR so I can start watching the movies I've purchased on VHS) I also adore early Joan Crawford movies, especially the ones where she teams up with Clark Gable and Robert Montgomery. I would be more than happy to loan you any of the DVDs from my small and growing collection, so far, I have: Smilin' Through; Strangers May Kiss; Girl from 10th Avenue; Ex-lady; This Modern Age; Front Page Woman and Untamed. I hope you were able to see the wonderful Robert Montgomery movies that aired last week on TCM--I discovered a few new pre-code actresses:) Feel free to email me if you'd like to borrow any DVDs--I'm a book/DVD loaner--my theory is I want as many people to enjoy the movies and books I love as possible!CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110707966495595760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-35721933636887785822008-05-23T11:14:00.000-04:002008-05-23T11:14:00.000-04:00Thanks for recommendation.

I have a Bobby Darin bio on my To be Read list, but would gladly add that one.<BR/><BR/>Kevin - I'm lending you Giant! No excuses, I bet that's the one you haven't seen. How many Hitchcock films have you watched?<BR/><BR/>Craig - Yay. Norma Shearer rocks. I recommend watching Private Lives for a good laught. Her and Montgomery are very funny in that.

Hitchcock is probably my most consumed director. I have seen several of his pre-Hollywood movies, and everything from 1940-1976 with the exception of The Paradine Case and Under Capricorn.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090508239022622036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-47031430973022606032008-05-23T08:38:00.000-04:002008-05-23T08:38:00.000-04:00I actually found your blog because I receive Googl...I actually found your blog because I receive Google alerts on Sandra Dee. I'm also trying to view all of her films. If you haven't read the book her son wrote called "Dream Lovers," I highly recommend it to you. It tells the life stories of Sandra and Bobby. They have both become personal heroes to me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018582669805719303noreply@blogger.com
