Kay Francis Has a Posse

Loved Ernst Lubitsch’s Trouble in Paradise. It’s the most elegant pre-code talkie I’ve seen. It helps that Trouble in Paradise stars Herbert Marshall, Miriam Hopkins, and the gorgeous Kay Francis.

Kay Francis has a perfect face for black and white film. Dark eyes, dark hair, pale face…


Up next in the Ernst Lubitsch marathon, Heaven Can Wait. I also anticipate getting Melville’s Army of Shadows and Imamura's Vengeance Is Mine in the mail tomorrow.
