		<description>Campaspe:

You&#039;re very welcome. Greatly admire and enjoy your fine blog. Yes, &lt;em&gt;Toll of the Sea&lt;/em&gt; just ripped my heart out. Anna May was so good. As a child, she used to spend hours before a mirror practicing and perfecting the pantomime gestures she studied in silent movies.

Warning: Not everyone is a Madge Bellamy fan. She was never wild about her performance in &lt;em&gt;Lorna Doone&lt;/em&gt;, claiming that she had not yet learned to &quot;control her facial muscles&quot; and was preoccupied with &quot;inner feelings,&quot; y&#039;know, Stanislavsky, yadda, yadda. But I like her performance for just that reason—it&#039;s raw and in your face.</description>

Yes, these are hard-to-find films, some might be impossible-to-find except on TCM. But hopefully, as movie lovers in the blogosphere become more vocal, studios will release their old libraries.</description>

		<description>Jeb:

Thanks so much, glad you like my list. I&#039;ve never been a Boyer fan. I will admit that he&#039;s just too, y&#039;know, French. But in Cluny Brown I kinda like him. But gee, I watch Cluny Brown for JJ&#039;s incandescent performance; she was never more beautiful.

Harlow&#039;s tragic death. Too many believe that Harlow died because her mother was a Christian Scientist and refused medical treatment. Not true. Harlow&#039;s mother was a Christian Scientist the way I&#039;m a good Catholic—not at all. She dabbled in the religion for social purposes. Harlow was misdiagnosed by the first attending physician and he pumped her full of fluids, the very worst treatment. The second doctor, called in by Harlow&#039;s mother, saw the misdiagnosis, but by then it was too late. He never charged the original physician because they were partners.

A terrible loss.

In Harlow&#039;s last movie, Saratoga, you can already see that she&#039;s bloated and lacking energy. Harlow died before production was completed and a body double was used in long shots and for over the shoulder shots. The effect is clumsy and all who were involved felt ashamed of the entire enterprise.</description>

CGI, what&#039;s that?

Just one movie in (two-tone) color. All the rest, b&amp;w.</description>

		<description>Robert Avrech, I&#039;d say that screwball comedies were one of the two best genres inspired by the Production Code; the other one was film noir. On the other hand, it annoys me when people state that adult films like &quot;Double Indemnity&quot; and &quot;Johnny Belinda&quot; managed to be made under the Code; the truth is that those films were made DESPITE the Production Code. (Indeed, when &quot;Double Indemnity&quot; was published in the mid-1930s, Will Hays swore that he would never allow it to be filmed. The main reason Paramount gave Billy Wilder the green light to film in 1944 was the recent success of &quot;The Maltese Falcon.&quot;)</description>
