Dear Reader #212

Dear Reader,

Clara Bow’s fifty-first movie was True to the Navy, produced between February 28 and March 25, 1930, and released on May 31, 1930.

Clara didn’t need good material to sell a movie – her personality did that. Once again, the studio failed Clara with this sub-standard production. Variety stated: “the studio didn’t strain themselves looking after her interests.” Slowly, stupidly, the studio was killing the goose who was laying their golden eggs.

Columbo

Season One, Episode One: “Murder by the Book”. This episode featured Jack Cassidy as the villain, was written by Steven Bochco, and directed by Steven Spielberg. For me, Barbara Colby stole the show as victim #2, Lilly La Sanka. Tragically, Barbara was murdered in real-life, in 1975.
