Yes, it's been a very long hot minute, and life has changed a whole lot... But, in spite of my business/busyness, I find the Barrymore have a way of appearing in my life out of the blue.
Today's vision was courtesy the film shelves at a Half Price Books in San Antonio, TX.
As follows!
Really, quite a good price for this special edition of a humungously star-studded film, the first to win best picture Oscar while winning nothing else. I do think Joan Crawford had a good shout for supporting, but really, it was an unprecedented kind of film, probably the first major star show that wasn't a variety one off like Your Show of Shows, etc.
And honestly, it is really quite good. Everyone is very solid and it's funny and sad and bemusing. John and Greta are gorgeous. Lionel is underplaying brilliantly.
Give it a glance. Do it for Lionel, particularly today.
