    See Those Girls, Watch Those Scenes
    Aug 19 2025
    Attaboy Clarence returns with a double-bill of juvenile energy! Shirley Temple heads up a forerunner of The Parent Trap in 1940's Kathleen, her first role away from curls and lollipops, trying her darnedest to match Herbert Marshall with Laraine Day, while scheming to keep Gail Patrick at bay... And in Mad About Music, Deanna Durbin's doing the exact opposite - trying to match Herbert Marshall with Gail Patrick, while dealing with school bullies, mistaken identities, and that elusive High C note!

  • Sisters In Crime

    Sisters In Crime
    Jul 13 2025
    This time around, join me as I present two movies in which the girls are planted squarely at the heart of matters. In 1939's Within The Law, Ruth Hussey is the wrongfully convicted shopgirl who exacts a diabolical revenge on the big business magnate who showed no mercy. In 1937's She's Dangerous, a thief turns out to be a double-agent, working for the law to defeat a gang of racketeers, but ending up on trial for a murder she didn't commit!

    Alan The Lad
    May 6 2025
    This time round, I'm paying tribute to one of Old Hollywood's most remarkable character actors - the wonderful Alan Mowbray - and his appearance in two films, in which he played the very same character... Elsewhere, who knew there was a board dedicated to the survival of cupcakes? We're dropping in with the What's My Line gang for another round of Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend? And radio entertainment comes courtesy of a very special one-off adaptation of one of history's greatest humorists!

    It's spring time, and we're celebrating in the company of some great ladies - Ginger Rogers in a reverse-Cinderella tale set in the opulent world of Park Avenue, and Claire Dodd turning the tables on a gang of conmen trying their best to influence her love life! There's also a sad note in the air as we say a fond farewell to another grand old lady. Radio entertainment comes this time from the Lux Radio Theatre!
