I’m not a massive fan of Veronica Lake but I loved her in This Gun For Hire. I don’t know why!

vintagegal:

Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis in the 1933 Disney cartoon, Mickey’s Gala Premier.

That is so awesome! Although I confess I think Bette is in fact Connie Bennett :)

One of the most incredible and, to be honest, sexiest scenes in cinema history.

“Diz says I’m in love with you.

P.S. He’s right.”

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)

I think myself and the husband need to watch this some time. Jimmy is adorable <3

“He’s handsome!”

Cutest film I’ve ever seen. Also I love all the high school fashions :)

I can’t stand Shirley Temple as a kid. Seeing her as a teenager/adult is fine though, she’s such a cutie.

A Femme Fatale is a mysterious and seductive woman. Whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations.

Rita & Betty all the way.

Small fragment of a lost film in Kinemacolor, “How to Live 100 Years” (1913), starring Lillian Russell. This appears to be the only surviving footage of Russell in colour.
Finally got around to making my first gif.

You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? 

Welles is phenomenal in this film.
