This looks great! I just requested it from the library and can't wait to watch it. Thanks!

I saw Ziegfeld Girls (1941) last night. A great movie with an all-star cast- James Stewart, Heady Lamarr, Lana Turner, and Judy Garland. The three girls play showgirls in the "Ziegfeld Follies," and the movie follows their lives from the time they get the job. It is mostly a drama, and shows how...

They are all excellent comedies. In order, they are "The Road to Singapore" (1940), "The Road to Zanzibar" (1941), "The...

Welcome!

Welcome!

This sounds great! I'll try to get ahold of it somehow. This is a very cool site. Thanks for the link!
