Dear Michael,
Thank you for the email! I understand that WordPress has a habit of hiding comments. It’s nice to hear from you now! I appreciate the likes on some of my articles. By the way, if you are interested in joining one of our blogathons, we are hosting the Claude Rains Blogathon this weekend: https://pureentertainmentpreservationsociety.wordpress.com/2018/10/02/five-minutes-everybody-the-curtains-going-up-on-the-claude-rains-blogathon/. We’d love to have you join if you aren’t too busy!
This is a wonderful topic for a blogathon! The Fondas are a talented family, and they deserve a blogathon. Congratulations on hosting your first! I would like to join with an article about “Jezebel” from 1938. I enjoyed the performance of a young Henry Fonda when I watched this Southern period drama. Good luck with your blogathon. I hope you have a lot of participants.
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan

My library has “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry” and “Race with the Devil” on a double feature DVD. I’m always looking for ways to get back to my drive-in theme on my blog. This would be a good choice.

Hey Michael. My entry on “The Lady Eve” will be a little late. I’m also not going to have time to write about “You Belong To Me” and “The Mad Miss Manton”. I did however find a half written post on “Barefoot In The Park”, so I’m finishing that off and will send that in instead. I am still doing The Lady Eve though.
