I'm already counting the days until the Halloween season returns. But for now, here are three of my favorite #films set in #December. I highly recommend them! What are yours?
The Lion in Winter (1968) Perhaps my favorite #film, full stop. ("What shall we hang, the holly or each other?")
“Your Soldier and Mine” — article from Screen Stars magazine, June 1944
“It is our proud privilege to present Ida Lupino's own story, written especially for you. This fine actress dwells on a subject closest to her heart—and yours—our soldiers. It will awaken you anew to the debt and deep gratitude we owe these wonderful boys.”
“Ida Lupino models another slack costume for informal entertaining, when the chilly California nights are here. Black slacks are worn with a ‘hangover sweater', of hand knit black wool appliqued with pink elephants. Her newest Warner Bros.' film is ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars’.”
Ida Lupino and John Garfield in “Out of the Fog” (1941). Also featuring Thomas Mitchell, Eddie Albert and John Qualen — airing on TCM’s Noir Alley tonight and tomorrow morning.
“IDA LUPINO stars in her first DEATH VALLEY DAYS as Pamela Mann in a true and exciting story about the Texas War for Independence, titled “Pamela’s Oxen” — aired Sep. 24, 1960
It was wonderful seeing “Deep Valley” (1947) get the attention it deserves with the #NoirAlley showing this weekend. The last time an Ida Lupino acting role was featured on that program was four years ago!
I hope the next will be much sooner than that. Any chance they could get “Moontide” (1942) or “Road House” (1948)?
Very cool that TCM’s Noir Alley is showing two excellent but semi-obscure films starring my two favorite actresses, Ginger Rogers and Ida Lupino, on back-to-back weekends: “Storm Warning” (1951) this week and “Deep Valley” (1947) next.
