Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell ‘Begin the Beguine’ in “ Broadway Melody of 1940”.

 

There is a lot of digging going on in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” A Boris Karloff look-a- like in Raymond Massey, with his sidekick Peter Lorre.

 

Nobody gets the better of Dan Duryea  . Not true . Lizabeth Scott hangs him out to dry in “ No Time for Tears.”

 

Charles Boyer, in the shadows, watches Jean Arthur being assaulted by Ivan Lebedeff in    “ History is Made at Night”. Don’t worry, Boyer to the rescue.

(Rock  Grayson was played by John Payne.)

George Sanders, Lucille Ball. LURED.

Sanders’ shadow is huge and menacing even though Lucille has the gun.

Love these facial silhouettes.
