I adore Joan, too! All that sassy talk wins my heart everytime. I haven't seen anything with Lili yet, but she seems fascinating.
Hmmmm, I think I ran into only one of those Thelma shorts one night, but missed the rest!  She was so sexy!! I want to be her.  |

Oh, man, I missed "Murder My Sweet" and the original "Maltese Falcon."
Has anyone seen the 1931 version? Last edited by Hemingway Jones : 07-12-2006 at 09:27 AM. |

I liked Bebe and Ricardo Cortez in it better than the later cast. Not to say I don't love Mary Astor, though, because I do! Can't really say the same for her male co-star, though. |

Wow!  You think Ricardo was better than Bogie?!?!? That is the first time I have heard someone say that. Bogart set the standard for gum shoes that all are measured by.

The warring Maltese Falcons
I've never seen the '31--is it Bebe Daniels in the Mary Astor role? Darn! Well, there is a new DVD being released with all 3 Maltese Falcon versions on it, according to alt.movies.silent. That definitely sounds like a must-buy.

Ahh, I didn't know this, either. But I haven't checked the posts on alt.movies.silent yet, so this is probably why! |

Mmm, yes...[Hides face in semi-shame! ] Although I must admit I'm more partial to seeing Cortez as the jerk who is murdered by sexy pre-Code actresses rather than the "hero" type. Quote:
I know a few girls who are really big silent and early talkie fans who believe the same thing, hehe. I guess it just depends on your era of choice. |

I strongly recommend...
We're Only Human (1936)
A cop, who plays by his own rules, brings down a notorious gangster. Cast: Preston Foster, Jane Wyatt, James Gleason. Dir: James Flood. BW-69 mins, TV-PG This one was great, lot's of "tough-guy" talk: Preston Foster: "Do you mind if I sit down?" Jane Wyatt: "I wouldn't mind if you fell over." A real hat-flick, too. |
