A couple of my choices:

Gail Patrick worked with Powell again in Love Crazy, playing the downstairs neighbor who makes a play for Powell much to the annoyance of Myrna Loy.  It's a fun comedy and Powell has some great moments.

William Powell is one of the most underrated actors of the 30's.  That man was suave and right in just about every role he played.

Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham

Because Bettye Lavette is a very bitter and angry woman.

Charlie's Angels is another whose credits oddly evolved due to cast changes.  By the end Charlie is no longer narrating about 3 girls going to the police academy and nearly every episode of season 5 has different glam shots of Jaclyn Smith in the opening credits.

How about Three's Company…from the beach to the zoo.  And theme music remixed each year.  Pay attention to the last two seasons opening credits.  They were too cheap to refilm the opening credits so there's a blink and you miss moment where you can see Jenilee Harrison entering the zoo with the other 5.  But oddly…

The third season theme had a very exciting arrangement and good they changed from animation to shots of the actors.  Naturally Marta Kristen (Judy) did nothing but smile in her opening credit shot, par for the course for Judy.

I was waiting for someone to mention Alice.  Each year, Lavin's singing of the theme got worse and worse. First season was alright, but by the end it was a faux jazz monstrosity.

In the book, does Hook ever discuss Ian's lyrics and how they may have provided Insight into Ian's state of mind and ultimate fate?  Or does he ignore the topic?  I remember in the JD documentary how the other guys mentioned they weren't paying attention to the lyrics or thought it was just art and it was up to Ian's…

Motown purists hate Adam Ant for his inexplicable appearance at the 1983 Motown 25 telecast in which he performed The Supremes' song Where Did OUr Love Go.  Diana Ross rushed on stage in the middle of the performance to do a bump and grind and steal the spotlight from Ant who was shocked she would pull such a stunt.

There's only one answer:  Rita Hayworth performing "Put the Blame on Mame" in the 1946 noir Gilda.

I've been watching a lot of films from the 30s lately and one thing that impresses me about them, regardless of overall quality, is how much more succinct and compact the plots and runtime are.  Too many of today's movies are so bloated and overlong.

Another excellent Lang film is Scarlet Street in which Joan Bennett and Dan Duryea make mincemeat out of an already cuckolded Edward G. Robinson.  Talk about a bleak noir.

Another release this week on Blu Ray and DVD:  Elia Kazan's 1960 film Wild River starring Montgomery Clift as a TVA official from DC who goes down to Tennessee to secure land to get the TVA project launched.  He runs into resistance from the townspeople who oppose the Feds and an cantankerous old woman who won't give…

MGM also made Ben Hur in 1924.

I'll go with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing to the song I'm Old Fashioned in YOu Were Never Lovelier.  Or the ultimate Busby Berkeley production number Lullay of Broadway, which is a short film contained within Gold Diggers of 1935.

TCM tonight…Warner pre codes with Loretta Young.   Those Warner pre codes can be so scuzzy. 

How can one do an article on board games and not discuss Candyland?

Horror film fans will go see anything won't they?  And it seems a good chunk of the public is resistant to going out to see obvious Oscar Bait movies (not that I can blame them).
