Boom Town

Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan
Boom Town's acting is superb, with Tracy, Gable and Colbert delivering
some tough lines and repetitive lines. All in all a bit slow in the plot but,
worth the viewing.

Ziegfeld Girl

James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Tony Martin
Intended by MGM as a followup-of-sorts to their 1936 smash hit THE GREAT ZIEGFELD, 1941's ZIEGFELD GIRL mixed melodrama and musical comedy to maximum effect, detailing the lives of three new Follies girls and their rocky climb to stardom.

Sparky red-headed lift operator Sheila Regan (Lana Turner), dignified musician's wife Sandra Kolter (Hedy Lamarr) and tenacious vaudevillian Susan Gallagher (Judy Garland) all have the potential of making it big in the Ziegfeld Follies.

Sheila is the girl who wants fame and fortune via the shortest possible route, and if that involves courting the attentions of rich stage-door daddies, and dumping her faithful boyfriend Gil (Jimmy Stewart), that's exactly what she'll do.

After the release of Ninotchka there was an attempt to explore and exploit and blend the love with the political consequences of living in a country placed behind the iron' s curtain.

THE HEAVENLY BODY

William Powell, Hedy Lamarr, James Craig, Fay Bainter, Henry O'Neill
Warner Archives has now issued a brace of Hedy Lamarr features, all at full price. This is not exactly a consumer friendly act - the films of other actresses of the period have been offered in very inexpensive box sets - see for example The Glamour Collection Carole Lombard - The Glamour Collection (Hands Across the Table/ Love Before Breakfast/ Man of the World/ The Princess Comes Across/ True Confession/ We're Not Dressing). Why Ms Lamarr's films should receive this frightfully high tariff escapes me - I can only surmise that the studio believes her fans are willing to pay through the nose to see her films! One certainly can't believe Warner thinks Hedy Lamarr does not qualify as glamorous! .
