if Eric were still around, he'd raise an eyebrow.

TCM isn't even doing a day! They're showing Red Headed Woman next week though.

so jealous of US TCM, euro version is dreadful in comparison. Red Headed Woman definitely worth watching, Harlow gives a great performance.

Hated "Red headed Woman" when I first saw it, I watched it again though and thoroughly enjoyed its gleeful trashiness. That said, my favourite part in it was Una Merkel's, I loved the perpetual look of outrage she has on her face at Harlow's homewrecking behaviour. "Wardrobe malfunction" scene is awesome - "I'm too important these days to sleep informally - what if there'd be a fire?" "You'd have to cover up to keep from being recognised!"

Happy 100th, Jean! Too bad Bombshell isn't readily available.

so if I had checked carefully, I would've noticed that TCM has her as Star of the Month, with prime-time films the next 4 Tuesdays. Pounce! (Films listed on left side of page.)

Watching Libeled Lady for the first time this weekend.

Had Jean Harlow been British, she might truly have become Dame Jean Harlow.

Did Eric take official leave?

The incomparable fast talker Lee Tracy to JH in Bombshell: "You're a boon to repopulation in a world thinned out by war and famine!"
