Connecting Rooms * (1970, Bette Davis, Michael Redgrave, Alexis Kanner, Kay Walsh, Gabrielle Drake, Leo Genn) – Classic Movie Review 6015

Reckless *** (1935, Jean Harlow, William Powell, Franchot Tone, May Robson) – Classic Movie Review 4942
The 1935 MGM musical melodrama film stars Jean Harlow as a theatre star whose career is endangered by the scandal of her husband’s suicide. Uncomfortably, the tale is plucked by producer David O Selznick from […]
