I don't know why I forgot that. Then I realized how much I admired Lupino for pulling herself out of that kind of role. I didn't think I could love the woman more, but I do!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587905976811500791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-43641307414316860922011-08-02T22:40:15.771-07:002011-08-02T22:40:15.771-07:00KC, excellent coverage of a movie I can't stan...KC, excellent coverage of a movie I can't stand. Probably my least favorite pre-code I've seen, and I've seen some bad ones. This one combines bad with annoying. I'm thinking of needles in my eyes. I love how you used it as an opportunity to move into the beginning of Ida's peak. It really is amazing what five years can do, huh?Cliff Alipertihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791559437928473638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084289080318419411.post-17565894459845519332011-08-02T21:43:33.413-07:002011-08-02T21:43:33.413-07:00Ivan--Universal has a great (and decently-priced) ...Ivan--Universal has a great (and decently-priced) pre-code box set that has Search for Beauty. That's actually the weakest flick in the pack, the rest of the movies are much more interesting. I'm the same way about that particular Holmes. She made it more human that the other movies in the series.<br /><br />Missidalupino--I didn't find this one very good either.

Paramount could have come up with something better, but they didn't. I don't think they knew what to do with her at the studio. She was too mature for the kids roles, yet not quite old enough for the full-on adult roles.<br /><br />I really enjoyed your review!

I'd definitely like to see that.<br /><br />Haven't seen this one but I'll keep an eye out for it because a lot of Ida's early roles aren't all that accessible (the earliest one I've seen is <b>Peter Ibbetson</b>, and that was when AMC still showed movies in black-and-whte).
