I'm a big fan of Carole Lombard, as well (though not as much as I was, say, fifteen years ago). <br /><br />You may be interested in my review of Lombard's early pre-Code film <a href="http://kayfrancisfest.blogspot.com/2008/10/virtue-directed-by-edward-buzzell.html" rel="nofollow">Virtue</a>.Craig Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340904520617472135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189609306702381939.post-50173999761126825352009-12-23T21:27:20.676-05:002009-12-23T21:27:20.676-05:00Excellent blog you have, and a fine evaluation of ...Excellent blog you have, and a fine evaluation of LaSalle's book.<br /><br />I analyzed "Complicated Women" and pre-Code cinema slightly more than two years ago in an entry at my classic Hollywood blog, "Carole & Co."

I'll probably also pick up the <B>Dangerous Men</B> book, but this one has already given me a long list of movies to see. :-)<BR/><BR/>I was surprised by the mention of Loretta Young. I remember thinking, "Can't be. Not the one from <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/craigsbookclub/bishopswife.html" REL="nofollow">The Bishop's Wife</A>!" (It's kind of like finding out Grandma was a cheesecake model.) I'll keep an eye out for <B>Midnight Mary</B>.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you like the name change. I especially like Miriam Hopkins's use of the phrase in <A HREF="http://kayfrancisfest.blogspot.com/2006/11/trouble-in-paradise-directed-by-ernst.html" REL="nofollow">Trouble in Paradise</A>.Craig Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340904520617472135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189609306702381939.post-60889417985137489752008-05-05T01:47:00.000-04:002008-05-05T01:47:00.000-04:00I also enjoyed this book very much.

I also got his book on leading men of the Code era but haven't read it yet.<BR/><BR/>One of the major actresses whose pre-Code films have been a complete eye-opener for me is Loretta Young. I've reviewed several at my blog in the last few months; my favorite is MIDNIGHT MARY.<BR/><BR/>Fun name change for your blog! I look forward to more of your posts.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.com
