I do hope you enjoy it! The ‘not bloody likely’ scene is priceless. It doesn’t have the sumptuous images of My Fair Lady but it’s none the worse for that and far sharper I think.

Ruth,

I’ve not seen Leslie Howard in Pygmalion, but just discovered that netflix carries it, so it’s on its expeditious way. Thank you for the suggestion. Looking forward to it.

Chère Suzanne:

The quality of your blog never ceases to amaze me, and now I discover that your taste in film is as refined as is your taste in cocktails. Thank you for the photo of Myrna and the charming story; she is one of the wittiest and sexiest actors to ever grace the screen, and has long been one of my favorites.

À bientôt,
The Utah Mixologist

I adore them both! The first Thin Man movie I saw was a revelation. Nick and Nora’s large intake of alcohol and large output of loving sarcasm is just a joy to watch. But give me Howard in Pygmalion over Gone With The Wind any day. Heaven.

I heartliy agree with ol’ Blue. As a longtime “Thin Man” fan, I love that photo. Mrs. E. and I spent our first night together (there were a number of us) watching the entire oeuvre.
