Fun post Page - with several shots I've never seen before. Frankenstein is especially interesting. Since the director James Whale, Karloff, and Clive were English, they always stopped what they were doing for Tea at 4:00 o'clock.How much fun would that have been to watch.
ReplyDeleteChristian,
DeleteI hadn't even considered the High Tea for the three Brits. It does look so funny to see Frankenstein's Monster holding a tiny tea cup.
I hope you're having a great weekend, staying cool!

Love pictures like this, such glamour popping out from set photos. We don't get those anymore.
ReplyDeleteKristen,
DeleteGlad you enjoyed this set of photos. The candids have always been my favorite.

Great pictures! I haven't seen some of them before - love Frankenstein having tea!!
ReplyDeleteToday's publicity shots are lacking in comparison.
Madam,
DeleteThe "Frankenstein" candid is pretty darn awesome. That set must have been a lot of fun to be apart of.
Good to see you back. I hope you're enjoying your summer.

Wonderful stuff! Here I was trying to decide what to watch with my pie and tea and you just decided me. "The Black Camel" it is for this Charlie Chan fan.
ReplyDeleteCW,
DeleteI had to go check after posting Dorothy's pic and wondered why you didn't mention your bestie Charlie Chan!lol
Big hug over tea and great films.

I recall reading that Garbo did not like a lot of people on the set, as it took away from her concentration. Looking at the photo of the "Anna Christie" set, looks like those stories were true.
ReplyDeleteKevin,
DeleteI've got a couple of other photos of Greta with her and her co-star separated by partitions from the extras, busy scenes. Nice that the studio's were so accommodating to her and her fears.
Would love to go back in time to a life in the day of Garbo.
Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely adore Myrna Loy`s Thin Man outfit!
ReplyDeleteSS,
DeleteLoy looked great in anything but she was especially cute in that Scottish plaid. : )
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the Boris Karloff drinking tea! Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteLasso, (wish I knew your name)
DeleteSo glad you enjoyed these! Good to see you back and I look forward to your comments.

OMG, those shots of Bette and of Garbo on the set of two of their most famous movies! What classic (the movies and the photos!) Thanks for sharing all of these!
ReplyDeleteMartin,
DeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed these. Jezebel is my favorite of Bette's films. I love her when she's feisty! ha ha
