What I'm Watching:

On July 22nd. TCM, is celebrating 5 of Astaire-Rogers films. Beginning with the musical, The Gay Divorcee(1934). The movie features the classic song, "The Continental" which was a hit song from the movie. Also, It was the first song to win the Academy Award, for Best Original Song. I hope you will enjoy spending time with the original "dancing with the stars" in the following films:

The Gay Divorcee (1934)
Top Hat (1935)
Follow The Fleet (1936)
Swing Time (1936)
The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle(1939)

On July 23rd TCM, is showing the classic film, By Love Possessed(1961). With Lana Turner, who plays the alcoholic, wife of a handicapped lawyer. She begins an affair with his law partner, despite the fact that he is married and has a son. This is not one of Lana's better films. Although, worth seeing at least once.
