I was getting ready for work today and I watched this movie:

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
What a great movie! I hardly ever really sit down and watch old movies, but I may do so from now on. I was riveted to it, and couldn’t wait to see how it ended up. I loved the clothes, the language, the sheer beauty of the stars (Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison).
I thought of Eve because of her writings of film stars of yesteryear.
Just thought I’d share!
Zette
Hell, if you like to look at extremely good-looking people in great clothes, try QUEEN CHRISTINA (1933) with Greta Garbo and John Gilbert.
Why, thank you, Zette! My next book will be about Rex Harrison’s third wife, Kay Kendall.
“Queen Christina” is good, Ike. If you like good heart-wrenching tearjerkers, I also recommend “Now, Voyager” with Bette Davis and Paul Henried, and “One Way Passage” with Kay Francis and William Powell.
Eve wrote this yesterday:
You’re not the only one who’s been thinking about her today…
The astonishing thing is that she was surprised to find strange men crawling in her bedroom window at 3AM.
Wow! Replies from both Uke and Eve- I feel so…so…so…sophisticated! Like I’ve broken through to the upper crust of society!
I guess I shouldn’t say I had never watched old movies- just not old “romantic” type movies.
I’ll be sure to rent or otherwise find the other movies mentioned. I almost made myself late for work watching the one this morning! Great stuff 
Zette
. . . Zette—played by Claudette Colbert—finally joins Ike (William Powell) and Eve (Myrna Loy) at the Algonquin bar as Finagle (Cary Grant) whips up a martini . . .
I’ve been thinking of Eve a lot this weekend, as I sit glued to AMC’s Monsterfest.
Don’t misunderstand that–Eve is certainly NOT a monster! She’s a lovely, charming, brilliant, witty, classy lady, and certainly one of the people I’d like to be when I grow up. But all of these classic films! Oh, I can’t get enough! Old horror films are the best horror films, IMHO.
Hope you’re having a good week, Eve! 
“I’ve been thinking of Eve a lot this weekend, as I sit glued to AMC’s Monsterfest.”
—I will be VERY disappointed if Ukulele Ike doesn’t chime in with some wise-ass remark . . .
Ahem.
Oh, I’m sorry, APB, dear—I assumed you KNEW you were Frank Case, owner of the Algonquin (played, of course, by a 1935-era Gary Cooper)!
In discussions with my wife, I had occasion to make the remark, “…back when, in one thread, Eve and Satan were arguing about sin with Adam.”
It took me a minute to realize why she cracked up!
Whoops, sorry, Halloween is a busy busy day for me, I was out of the office and on the way home by the time this post popped up.
Um…um…Yeah! Me too, Persephone! Eve always reminds me of a famous movie star! Boris Karloff! Ha ha!
Shit. Let me have another shot at it, okay?
{looks around for his copy of Bennett Cerf’s BIG BOOK OF WISE-ASS REMARKS}
Well, here’s a Kit-Kat Bar for trying, anyway, Ike.
Poly, I know how you feel—ages ago, Ike and I got odd looks in the Blue Bar when I loudly commented, “I know WAY too much about Satan’s sex life!” And we all learned not to yell, “Hey—Uke Ike!” out loud in public. Does NOT translate well. Try it.
