My Movie Dream Book: December 2012

http://moviedreambook.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 8, 2012. All Wrapped Up With A Bow. Beautiful presents come all wrapped up with a bow. Who wouldn't want to find one of these lovelies under the tree? Clara Bow in a bow - how cute. Only Garbo's beauty could trump this bow! Lovely Laura La Plante maximizes the bow look. By wearing them at her collar and wrists. Joan Bennett looks stunning in a basic black bow. Somewhere there is a bow in Liz's bonnet. Stripes and a bow! Joan Blondell just couldn't be any cuter! Now, here are the bows.

Eve Arden and ‘The Ida Factor’ in MILDRED PIERCE (1945) – Once upon a screen…

Once upon a screen…. 8230;a classic film and TV blog. April 11, 2015. July 22, 2016. Eve Arden and ‘The Ida Factor’ in MILDRED PIERCE (1945). What is this a family reunion? Said the tall, determined woman with a quick draw for a mouth. She is in the end what she is in the beginning. Her name is Ida Corwin and her quips alone are worth the price of admission. We first see Ida in. We know at that moment nearly all there is to know about Ida Corwin. Was shot dead, begins Michael Curtiz. Ann Blyth as Veda.

Davelandblog: January 2015

http://davelandblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 31, 2015. View From A Treehouse. This bridge is one of the reasons I do not like to be on this attraction when there are too many peeps in the Park; it makes me queasy as it sways! Yet…as you can see, some of the views are outstanding. And one visit to this attraction is never enough to catch all of the details. I took the time to experiment a bit with exposure times. The results of a very slow one:. And much faster; which do you prefer? Follow my Daveland updates on Twitter. Links to t...

Davelandblog: September 2014

http://davelandblog.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Cruising at Disneyland, April 1958. A few colorful shots from April 1958 showing two gals enjoying a leisurely spin around Fantasyland's Motor Boat Cruise. This "B" ticket attraction was about a year old at the time these shots were taken. Note the red trimmed boat on the right is named "Alice.". Dig those yacht-club inspired outfits of the cast members! Looks like this could be a Lucy and Ethel situation! I wonder if they knew that the boat was on a track? Links to this post.

Davelandblog: October 2014

Thursday, October 30, 2014. Club 33 and New Orleans Square. I finally got the chance to see the changes to New Orleans Square for myself. The current view (above) of Club 33 from Café Orleans vs. the previous view (below). While it's all a matter of personal taste, this particular blogger is really not crazy about this version. One of the worst offenses is this ostentatious entrance to Club 33. What was once a not-so-secret secret that casually blended into the background is not visible to all who walk by.

Thursday, July 31, 2014. 59 Years Ago Yesterday: Campfire Girls. After a few heavy posts, I'll go a bit lighter today with an image from the USC Digital Library. Featuring the Los Angeles Area Camp Fire Girls from Alhambra District, July 30, 1955. The publicity caption reads:. Have to zoom in for a closer look at the balloon, which features what appears to be a seal, balancing something on his nose. It almost looks like the Adventureland logo seen on The Wonderful World of Disney. Posted by Dave DeCaro.

Davelandblog: Snow White Circa 1974

http://davelandblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/snow-white-circa-1974.html

Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Snow White Circa 1974. A batch of negatives from 1974 yielded two shots of the loading area for the Snow White's Adventures attraction at Disneyland. A great opportunity to see the clothing of a 1970s cast member as well as see the attraction vehicles; unfortunately not a great view of the mural at left! One of the best shots of this group is one of the Carrousel which shows the reflection of Snow White the front of her attraction:. Follow my Daveland updates on Twitter. Hey Dav...
