So this week has been a bear, as they say. I've been working hard to finish stuff up at my place of gainful employment before hitting the road for business. Ugh. So later today I will be in transit and then for the next three days I will be, let's be honest here, BORED OUT OF MY MIND! And not just bored, but occupied all day, every day, so I won't have a chance to check in to the blog until nightfall, at which point everyone is home from work and the commenting fun is over. Ugh again. But I'll provide some updates on my laptop nonetheless and hope to find happy go lucky comments to read when I return from the Land that Excitement Forgot each night.
And all of this is another reason I have put off writing many of the pieces I want to so far this month because of the limits of time. I have several things I want to report on, including two magnificent experiences at the A.F.I in October as well as some truly rare and unique book finds I have come into recently. One of them is a collection of pics and bios... from 1934! There are "stars" in there completely unknown to me but what a fascinating glimpse into who was considered a keeper then and who wasn't. So for today I bid you adieu. I'll check in later tonight from my undisclosed location. Happy commenting.
P.S. Someone keep an eye on Fox in my absence. Thanks.

Pictured above is No More Ladies from 1935 with Joan Crawford (yes, I have a tons of Crawford scans), Robert Montgomery and Franchot Tone. Currently, as expected, unavailable on DVD.

I think most of us are grateful we can't keep an eye on Fox.
I'm still trying to pry him off my arm.
He was over at my place last night ... all the dogs were barking.
Last week I found a note under my door that said:
"Dear Bill,
I know who you are. See you...some day.
Fox"
Should I be alarmed?
You guys lucked out today b/c I took the day off. (Ain't that funny? I had the day off, and I didn't get on the computer until 10:00 PM! Yet, when I'm AT work...)
Anyways... Jonathan, how about letting me guess blog while your away? Whatdya' say?
I couldn't get internet until this morning and I have to pay for it. Nothing is gratis, nothing. Anyway, thanks for commenting and if I have time I'll write a post tonight for tomorrow. For now, I'm off to my first of three all-day conference/meetings. And I don't feel that great either. Boy is this going to suck.
Fox, didn't mean to ignore the guest blogging thing, it's just that I will be posting while here so there's no real need but thanks for the offer.
Ha! Well... I was trying to make a funny. I'd probably take the intention of Cinema Styles off the rails, and I would hate to be the one to do that.
(hmm... I'm now pondering whether that's been done through commenting.)
