I love the cameos by the stars – Until I started getting into classical movies, didn’t realize how beautiful Barbara Stanwick was.
BTW Robert – the program TCM/Fathom events is screening vertigo next month. There has to be a theater near you showing that program. That is about the only thing that gets me to the theater these days, although someone had to explain the recently shown Philadelphia Story (shown last week) to me 😉
Thank you for the great collection of photos on Fridays. I look forward to it every week.
You’re welcome.
Title for the Nozkowski painting: The Esrog.

Love the Cadillac with the fins and Continental kit.
That Cadillac was supposed to have been designed based on the profile of the P 38.
A great photo by a great photographer.
