“Get me a bromide - and put some gin in it.”

One of the greats.

George Cukor’s THE WOMEN premiered in Los Angeles on August 31, 1939 and hit theaters nationwide the following day.

The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges.

Watching 1939: Bad Little Angel (1939)

In 2011, I announced I was trying to see every film released in 1939. This new series chronicles films released in 1939 as I watch them. As we start out this blog feature, this section may become more concrete as I search for a common thread that runs throughout each film of the year. Right now, that’s difficult. 1939 film: Bad Little Angel (1939) Release date: Oct. 27, 1939 Cast: Virginia…

Gosh! I went a full year between web posts. That is bad.

It is again the day of days! The one that sadly comes but once a year! Yes, I do realize all days come but once a year, except February 29, but I digress.

IT’S GINNY’S BIRTHDAY!!!

Most of you know the rules, but for any newcomers here we go. On Virginia’s birthday, Ginnyfans worldwide (which I can now safely say since Danny is in England) watch her films or at least clips from her films while eating cottage cheese, which was her favorite childhood food. For those looking for a non-dairy alternative, Ginny often ate raw veggies on set, and those are also acceptable.

If you are looking for Ginny material, YouTube is the go to source. Girl of the Ozarks, a film starring Virginia from 1936, resides there. You will also find Outcasts of Poker Flat (1937), The Under-Pup (1939) starring Gloria Jean with Ginny in strong support, Souls at Sea (1937) with Virginia in a smaller yet pivotal role, and The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt (1939) with Ginny as his would-be detective daughter. For the most part, these are films not available on TCM.

One later film, The Youngest Profession (1943) can be found there, broken into ten parts to avoid fair use problems, I guess.

Stuck for time? Check out the Ginny clips there, especially ones on the ginny fan channel.

Mostly, have fun! And enjoy the celebration! And thank you for caring and participating!

Virginia Weidler (March 21, 1927 – July 1, 1968). She stole every scene she was in.

This incredible necklace was inspired by the real-life "Collier de la Reine" by Parisian jewelers Boehmer and Bassenge in 1784!   This reproduction was made for the 1938 film 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆 and featured in the plot.   In 1940 the piece was seen around the neck of Virginia Weidler's character, Dinah Lord, in the movie 𝑨 𝑷𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚.   Want more details about the real necklace?
