I watched Roxie Hart recently and though it was great fun. Adolphe Menjou really stole it as devious lawyer Billy Flynn. Lovely cameo from Iris Adrian as ‘Two Gun Gertie’.
Love Iris Adrian, especially “Lady of Burlesque”, another William Wellman. I remember the first time I saw it – in the Vintage Film Club in Dumbarton.
The Lupino photo is on the set of “The Hitch-Hiker”.
The Vintage film club! That was where I met you when I was 16. We have been friends now for 50 years. It just doesn’t seem possible.
I do indeed remember that our friend John Oswald first introduced me to Lady of Burlesque ( or Striptease Lady as it was called then). John’s favourite was the lovely Alice Faye.
