I thought Deirdre’s performance in the 2005 flick Alien Abduction was classic actually. I would not think she would be to ashamed of her role in this film but perhaps I would say that wouldn’t I?

Keelsetter:

I wish I lived in your neighborhood so that I could come to your movies. What a wonderful idea for a good time. I would even bring the popcorn. Good luck this week.

It’s not generally well known — perhaps Howard Hawks and Carole Lombard themselves had forgotten it — but “Twentieth Century” was NOT the first time he had directed her. In his directorial debut, the 1925 Fox film “The Road To Glory” (unrelated to a film of the same name Hawks directed 11 years later), Lombard had a small role supporting May McAvoy. The film is believed lost, like the several others the young Lombard made before the automobile accident that sidelined her for a year or so. For more about this film, and a lobby card showing Lombard with McAvoy, go to http://community.livejournal.com/carole_and_co/117532.html

One of Hawks’ greatest strengths, in my view, is that like Capra and Ford he knows how to handle the great supporting character actors. Our leads certainly had to keep their guard up to keep a scene-stealer such as Etienne Girardot from picking the thing up and strolling away with it.
