and please scroll way down to the bottom (updated daily from now on!!) for all the latest on following SPEAKEASY and what’s being served where
That Reginald Denny movie looks like fun! Unusual to see him in a lead role. I just succumbed to temptation and got some movies in the Alpha/Oldies sale (in fact I first learned of a couple of the titles thanks to you!). I’ll put this one on a list for the future. :)
Best wishes,
Laura

Sigh, I feel like I’ve bought all of the Hitchcock titles a million times – every variant since VHS. I think I outright own one by now!

they do depend on us re-buying our faves, sometimes only for the art *raises hand* or the odd extra. Le sigh, indeed..
Thanks for stopping by, Carrie :)
