I just bought the book THE FIXERS: EDDIE MANNIX, HOWARD STRICKLING AND THE MGM PUBLICITY MACHINE by E. J. Fleming. There are a number of pages devoted to Jean...
Thank you for this information. This is a book I will definitely have to take a look at. It appears that when it comes to Jean Harlow, almost every book has ...
A head's up to anyone on the list in the Boston area. The Harvard Film Archive will be having a screening of "Hell's Angels" Tuesday, October 11th at 9 PM....
Greetings Colin, I can only imagine what the aerial sequences from "Hell's Angels" must be like on a big screen. The zeppelin scenes are impressive to begin...
Spreng- I have to congratulate your Angels on upending the Yankees in the ALDS. I was telling people when the postseason began that I fear them in the 1st...
Well, I've saw "Hell's Angels" last night at The Harvard Film Archive, and it was good and bad. The good is that I got to see it on the big screen at all....

Colin, Sorry to hear that the print was terrible. When I saw it here in Los Angeles back in 1999, it was the UCLA (who restored the film) Film Archive print...
ARRRRRGH, that sounds like an amazing night-makes the evening I had even more frustrating. The print actually didn't say Caddo or United Artists on it, only...
Greetings Colin, It is my understanding that the flight sequences were not re-shot, but sound was added. Only scenes with extended dialogue were refilmed. The...

The outtakes simply showed Hughes walking up to Ben Lyon and jean during a scene in the bar. The footage was silent and only lasted a few seconds. A ridiculous...

Dennis, Hells Angels was released as a budget title from Universal with little fanfare or promotion. The Tower records near my home did sell out, but they ...
Al,
Thanks for the congrats...hope it wasn't too painful *S*...Your Yankees had a grand season...unlike out poor, pitiful Dodgers. Of course I always feel a...
Hello Reg, So there will be a Jean Harlow boxset in or around next October? Do you have any idea as to what films will be included? If there will be a Clark...

I am not sure if "Beast of the City" & "The Secret Six" will included in her own boxset per se, but I've heard that they're being considered for release in...
To Spreng- I think you are a UCLA fan so I want to congratulate you knowing that they are 6-0 right now. Quietly they are making a name for themselves. If...
Hello Regman! I am delighted that "The Secret Six" and "The Beast of the City" will not be overlooked. They are a part of Jean's legacy and with the former...
Yes, you're right, that was quite a game Saturday. We've always favored UCLA, so when our son was college aged that's where he went and graduated from (back in...
Dennis: Wonderful post! You brought the names of a lot of actresses that I have in my collection- Miriam Hopkins, Ann Harding, etc. I have those people and a...
Hello Al, Carole Lombard was also a superb dramatic actress but the public loved her in screwball comedies. Two of her excellent dramas were "Made For Each...
You brought up Carole Lombard. I know "V" in our group is a big Carole Lombard fan. Had both of them lived, I would have loved to see them in a film ...
Spreng and others- Well Spreng, UCLA is 7-0 and probably the best kept secret in college football. If they win their next 3, their last game is against...
To Dennis, V and others: I read your posts with great interest. I would have responded sooner but I had some problems with my e-mails. I hope I don't offend...
I know that V likes Carole Lombard. We all know about her great work in My Man Godfrey and Twentieth Century. But those films that Dennis mentioned The ...
To V and the rest of the group: V, thank you for your detailed post. I certainly didn't anticpate anything like that. You certainly put a lot of thought into...
Have you ever seen Mr.and Mrs. Smith? It is her next to her last movie with Robert Montgomery and I thought it was good. It was a Hitchcock film if my ...
Greetings Al, It couldn't be that William Powell and Carole started dating at the time of "My Man Godfrey". Carole was with Clark Gable at the time and William...
Hello V, I have not seen "Mr and Mrs.Smith" in such a long, long time. I would enjoy seeing it again. I thought little of it at the time. Carole was so...
To V, Dennis and others- Once again, I was experiencing some technical problems with my e-mails. That is the reason why I didn't respond last evening. First...
Hello Al, The only biography I ever read on Carole Lombard was one called "Screwball". It seemed to be very fair and not the sort of rubbish that some...

I have stated before that it is most unfortunate that we haven't had more than one bio dedicated to Lombard and other famous stars. We continue to be bombarded...
