Nice to remember on what would have been George Burns's birthday. (130!)
Eric TrueWatching #MonsieurSpade, with Clive Owen and quite a few Frenchmen. Maybe there's no way to play Spade without referencing Bogart. Anyway, now I gotta watch "The Maltese Falcon" again -- and also find this #BurnsAndAllen episode -- not necessarily in that order
Erin PtahOne of those strips with a bunch of layers packed into a few short panels (it was very satisfying to watch readers decipher them all).
Future Thorn: doing the BTTF move of giving a future celebrity’s name as his own
Hedge: thinks she’s met someone else going stealth with a non-Iuilic stage name (it’s the fantasy 1930s, the average person can’t just look this stuff up on Crystalpedia)
Grassie: has no idea what’s going on :))
P.M.BryantAd for the Fred Astaire RKO musical “Damsel in Distress” (1937), Screenland, Jan. 1938.
This was Astaire’s first starting vehicle separate from Ginger Rogers. Burns and Allen are his co-stars. Early career Joan Fontaine is the love interest, but only gets a mention as a generic “Hollywood’s Girl of Your Dreams”
Immortal music by George Gershwin in one of his last works before his early death in mid-1937.
