What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Rain from 1932 with Joan Crawford, Walter Huston, Guy Kibbee, William Gargan and Beulah Bondi One reason they don't make movies like Rain anymore is that we no longer live in a religious country and many "sins" today are celebrated or "understood," but in 1932, a woman who drank, smoked and...- Fading Fast

Arsene Lupin from 1932 with John Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore and Karen Morley Arsene Lupin is a good movie, but to fully appreciate it today you have to think of it in a 1932 context: the technology that looks quaint now was state of the art, the Barrymore brothers were mega-stars appearing...- Fading Fast

HOW IS IT THAT AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE HERO DOG DOESN'T HAVE A MOVIE DEAL?? "Even the Poverty Row studios have their standards. I, of course, only work with the majors."

The Country Girls by Edna O'Brien originally published in 1960 Nothing "perfectly" captures the past, but a contemporaneous book from a period will almost always get you closer to that time than a modern period novel. The former is the value of Edna O'Brien's debut novel The Country Girls...- Fading Fast

The Cheat from 1931 with Tallulah Bankhead, Irving Pichel and Harvey Stephens Today, the most interesting thing about The Cheat is Tallulah Bankhead, who acquired her awesome name, amazingly, by being christened that way. In this movie, she plays an upper-class gambling addict, flirt and...- Fading Fast

Kiss the Blood Off My Hands outfit help?
My pure guess is something in the tan/beige/khaki family. Light or medium grey could work, but black shirts are often paired with tan/beige/khaki suits or sport coats.- Fading Fast

Hell's Angels from 1930 with James Hall, Ben Lyon and Jean Harlow The interwar years saw no lack of anti-war movies with Hell's Angels, co-directed by Howard Hughes, being noted for its still-to-this-day impressive aerial combat scenes. At just over two hours, it's very long for an early...- Fading Fast

Happy New Year to all. Lizzie, thank you again for all the time and effort you put into making these Day by Days so enjoyable. The expanded "Sweeney" family story has been an incredible addition. I was really hoping Joe would slip by without having to go to war, but alas. I am holding out just...- Fading Fast

I'll Be Seeing You from 1944 with Ginger Rogers, Joseph Cotton, Shirley Temple, Tom Tully and Spring Byington Feel-good Christmas movies are tricky as they can easily slip into mawkishness, yet if the movie has too-much conflict, it risks losing its Christmas magic. I'll Be Seeing You does a...- Fading Fast

It's good to see William, even if only marginally, become more communicative. I don't doubt it happened, but it's funny to see a world where the classic 1939 "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with the great Charles Laughton is dismissed as "thaat new one."- Fading Fast

Three Godfathers from 1936 with Chester Morris, Lewis Stone and Walter Brennan Three Godfathers is a moving Western that riffs on the birth of the Baby Jesus tale to deliver a Christmas movie with an equal dose of grit and charm.

Watched "They Shall Not Grow Old" on Netflix last night. Thank you for the heads up. It is as good as all of you said it is. I've seen a lot of WWI documentaries and movies, but never felt this "close" to being there.- Fading Fast

Is it impossible for Joe to get an hour or two off for personal reasons? I know it's war work, but I doubt he's the only one who's ever needed a few hours off. Gray can't help himself.- Fading Fast

Sky Devils from 1932 with Spencer Tracy, George Cooper, William Boyd and (thank God) Ann Dvorak As great a star as Spencer Tracy would become, he and costar George Cooper were miscast as the male leads in Sky Devils, a farcical look at WWI. The picture needed a true vaudevillian comedy team...- Fading Fast
