And it's so damn typical that we loose the promising actors and actresses early, Lombard was an ingenious comedienne.Lolita of the Classicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596876234508882958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-74340971495998251302009-05-16T16:39:00.000+02:002009-05-16T16:39:00.000+02:00Keep in mind that "To Be Or Not To Be" was nearing...Keep in mind that "To Be Or Not To Be" was nearing completion at the time Pearl Harbor occurred. Had that attack <I>not</I> happened (forcing the U.S. into active participation in World War II), the film might have been received more warmly by American audiences.<br /><br />Of course, had Pearl Harbor not been attacked, Carole Lombard likely would have been alive at the time the film opened (another reason it did poorly; given the public's dour wartime mood, this wasn't the movie they wanted to remember her by).VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-74408147915258159362009-05-16T12:49:00.000+02:002009-05-16T12:49:00.000+02:00Graciebird:

Ernst Lubitsch was a master director no doubt, and seeing Lombard and Benny together is just wonderful. <br /><br />I've had it on a bad VHS for many years, and ironically I just bought it on DVD the other day hehe finally! :)<br /><br />best wishes,<br />SebinaClassic Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452165665779363139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575280877085021446.post-46815552737831137972009-05-16T01:51:00.000+02:002009-05-16T01:51:00.000+02:00Oh Lolita, I'm watching it right now!
