Film Pictorial December 1938
You learn something new…
… every day.
Today, there was the marriage of Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and they showed a documentary about the history of the House of Hohenzollern. I had no idea that Lili Damita had dated a Hohenzollern Prince! But since she was no Princess, she was not allowed to marry him. Just imagine the way history would have gone if…
A little more info (didn't have time to dig deeper):

Community Quiz Question
Ok, here's what I call a “Community Quiz Question” because I don't have the answer all ready. I intended to get it, but realised that it won't be until maybe in two years or so, that's why I thought it'd be easier to post it as a question for all.
–> How often did Errol get a slap in the face in his movies?
Please enter the answers as follows:
Name of the slapping person, title of movie, reason
Example and part of the solution which you all know:
1. Bette Davis, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, for turning his back on the Queen/insolence
I invite everybody to join in, it may take weeks or months to be complete, but would be great if we managed another trivial topic in a joint effort. Don't forget to number the slaps! So here would be number two:
2. Faye Emerson, Uncertain Glory, for not telling the truth about himself
Hope you enjoy a little! I'll be off for a holiday on Tuesday, let's see what you manage in the meantime.

EF Movie Review
Here's a fresh, but… awful… movie review of Elizabeth and Essex… apparently, the author does not like Errol at all but unfortunately, there is no opportunity to vent one's anger at this piece of writing…
