Love Crazy-William Powell and Myrna Loy

[ITG]

I watched Love Crazy today. It was quite a funny film. Here's a synaposis of the story from IMDB.com. This was my first Powell-Loy film to watch. I tivo-ed The Thin Man too and look forward to watching that one too.

Steve and Susan Ireland are about to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary by re-enacting their first date. When Susan's meddling mother interrupts and injures herself. Steve is left to take care of her and when he meets an old flame in the elevator--Susan's mother takes the opportunity to break-up their marriage. She convinces Susan that Steve is cheating on her-Susan files for divorce. Steve has one solution to save his marriage...Pretend he is insane.

Funny movie, and William Powell had a beaut. of a Hollywood Jacket in the film.

Saw that jacket, wanted that jacket.

 

[jitterbugdoll]

That is one of my favorites--Libeled Lady is great, too. And The Thin Man series just can't be beat

William Powell in drag is not to be missed. I just love William Powell and Myrna Loy together.

TCM ran a Powell-Loy mini marathon the other day, I watched The Thin Man and half of the next picture but then I fell asleep. They'll probably run them at odd times during the month.

It would be nice to see some of the other William Powell films make it to DVD, it amazing how few of his films, beyond the Thinman series & My Man Godfrey are available on DVD.

Love Crazy was just great! A must have on dvd.

Super, I tivo-ed that one too but just haven't watched it yet. I also watching I Love You Again (where POwell gets amnesia) but wasn't as tickled pink with that movie. It was just okay.

DVD

I heard the Thin Man box set did so well that Warner Home Video is going to put out a box set of the remaining Powell/Loy movies!

Sincerely,

A funny movie indeed; how I dream or envy being in that time period. William Powell and Myrna Loy were great, I especially laughed at the scene were Myrna met Jack Carson later (the Bow & arrow guy) and said something like “I didn’t recognized you with your clothes on” priceless.

 

[Wild Root]

I own that movie, I taped it off of TCM a few years back... I love that movie!!! It also has Jack Carson in it... I really like him too!

One of my favorite parts is when they're in bed and Steve asks Susan who that man was...

Steve:
Honey, who was that man?

Susan:
Oh, he's the world's best Bow & arrower!

lol lol lol Classic!

Jack Carson was a hoot in quite a few movies, I liked him in The Bride Came C.O.D. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033432/
and It's a Great Feeling http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041515/
http://www.dorisday.net/it_s_a_great_feeling_.html
(The end of It's a Great Feeling has a nice plot twist)


I wish they'd hurry up and get to some of these classics sooner on disc.

"I Love You Again" is sweet, too, but then again I love Myrna in absolutely anything!!

I LOVE that first poster!! Her hair looks so lovely and red. Sigh!

Very good news indeed! Any movie with William Powell or Myrna Loy is great. When they're together, it's a little slice of heaven.

Super, I tivo-ed that one too but just haven't watched it yet. I also watching I Love You Again (where POwell gets amnesia) but wasn't as tickled pink with that movie. It was just okay.

I did too (my little friend Tivo) and watched it last night. GREAT film! Everything Powell had on looked amazing.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

He had an ideal physique for the suits of that time: small, compact and trim. Probably didn't look too impressive in his birthday suit, though.

[scotrace]

He did

Since he never looks bad, it must have been him.

Last week I saw him in a beret - looked grand. And last night, breeches for riding, same deal.
