THOSE FACE!

Alive and well, my love/obsession with vintage Hollywood keeps the DVR full of TCM classics. Viewing them over and over again, I favor stories with lots of great dialogue and sophisticated humor like The Philadelphia Story, All About Eve, How to Marry a Millionaire, and too many others to fathom.

These early directors, producers and players INVENTED the art of movie making, and something about black and white film resonates with me on levels beyond nostalgia. I find movies like Father Of The Bride and The Thin Man films incredibly comforting.

Beneath drama which at times seems over the top, there lies the glam factor and sense of style that speaks of an era forever gone, yet living on through the fabulous films and phenomenal faces that brought life to each story and character. They don't make faces like these any more. Or do they?
