Happy Birthday to the incredible, unmistakable Joan Bennett (1910-1990).

#BOTD #JoanBennett was a perfect counterpart to Cary's character in WEDDING PRESENT.

Humphrey Bogart insisted that Joan be in his film, WE'RE NO ANGELS, despite the bad press she received through no fault of her own.

A salute To the Magnificent #joanbennett and her versatile roles on

We watched "Big Brown Eyes" the other night via Criterion Channel. Apparently not much appreciated on its release in 1936, both the Mrs and I thoroughly enjoyed. Snappy dialogue, good cast, cool cinematography. Also amazingly efficiently done with its running time of around an hour. Left you wanting more. Directed by Raoul Walsh with Cary Grant, Joan Bennett, and Walter Pidgeon.
