Re: [Videolib] End of semester larks! Your help needed.
Thank you Gary for a pleasant take-my-mind-off work assignment. Here are some titles that come to mind: The under-rated Janis Carter in Framed (1947) but particularly Night Editor (1946): you don't get more cold-blooded fatale than this. (out on DVD) Polly Moran and Marie Dressler in Politics (1931) a Lysistrata story. (Warner Archive) Front Page Woman (1935) with Bette Davis as a journalist competing against men but better still the whole Torchy Blane series now available from Warner Archive. And speaking of series, what about all the Maisie films starring Ann Sothern from Maisie (1939) to Undercover Maisie (1947). TCM shows them occasionally but not commercially out as far as I know. Kay Francis deserves some space: she appeared in the title role of Dr. Monica (1934) and Mary Stevens M.D. (1933) this would be TCM territory What about Barbara Stanwyck who se new DVD box set is either out now or out any minute now..

Re: [Videolib] End of semester larks! Your help needed.
Thanks, as always, Oksana for you magnificent command of cine-arcana. I forgot about Night Editor...b cold dame! The Marie Dressler is actually out in the Warner Archives collection--we'll definitely bag it. The others reside in the big archives in the sky, only, I'm afraid. We've got the Stanwyck on order...can't wait. Why or why isn't there more Kay Francis available? Ever see One Way Passage (1932) with Wm Powell?...wonderfully strange.
