I didn't think that anyone else would appreciate Joan's work and certainly didn't think folks would respond to a black and white movie from the 1930s.<BR/><BR/>I love movies and I don't care when they were made so long as they are choice. <BR/><BR/>I am a veteran of the Late Show, the Late, Late, Show and if necessary the Late, Late, Late Show.

It had the money to mount these kinds of movies, have the best talent and once they gave the ok you could step off the grid.<BR/><BR/>The bad thing about it in this case was that they worked Joan to death at Warner Brothers, kept her locked into the same kind of roles and never fully saw her talent.Genahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05783965105013561382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867185.post-57582630143214708372008-05-31T08:01:00.000-07:002008-05-31T08:01:00.000-07:00I didn't know she was a singer. :) I'm a new conve...I didn't know she was a singer. :) I'm a new convert to Blondell-mania, so this is a welcome look at a movie I hadn't yet seen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this.
