Ice Follies of 1939 is a Joan Crawford vehicle from MGM which has a Warners feel with a supporting cast from Columbia and shot at Republic.
This is the film that Joan is prepping for at the beginning of Mommie Dearest.
Jimmy Stewart is Joan's male lead in this picture. He looks like he has just turned 18.
Joan looks old enough to be his mother in some shots.
The plot is secondary to what they put poor Joan through.
30 some minutes into the movie she isn't even in it for a long stretch where to is totally focused on the Jimmy Stewart character and his ice follies. The background bit runs straight into an ice follies review of skating. It is pretty hum drum. Cramped and shot cheaply.
The whole movie feels cramped until the end where there is an insane Technicolor nightmare of mediocre skating in garish costumes in an ill conceived Cinderella plot involving dear Joan. She doesn't skate.
She looks lovely when sitting in the audience watching herself on screen though. Reddish highlights to her hair in a gorgeous green and gold sparkly Adrian creation that defies description. One number she is forced to wear looks like it came off of a Lorretta Young picture, complete with halo.
You see Joan in several different looks in this picture. Few of them are flattering to her. Some make her look downright hard bitten and hawkish.
There is one scene early on where Joan is sitting at a table in yet another cramped room with Jimmy and Lew Ayres. She looks young and vibrant, her hair perfect for her. She looks great. then it is all downhill until the final Technicolor shots of her in the audience at the end.
Somebody wanted to make her look bad.
You can tell by where they spent the money.
One of the black and white skate bits is wonderful. Far better than the other ones. Then there is the color skate film in a film sequence at the end.
This film is designed to make the star look bad on the screen and on paper.
Joan does have one great bit where she plays drunk. It looks like she is really having fun with it.
Trog is better.

Amazing what you can do with the lowly soybean. Not only can you make gasoline out of it but you can make eight year old scotch, caviar, and horseradish. Just think of how many horses that could save.
This movie is a little gem. Jane Wyman is a hoot. After seeing her in nothing but fifties weepies and Falcon Crest her turn as a scatterbrain newlywed bride having her honeymoon interrupted by two of her best friends and then all and sundry shows her as an adept comedian.
Alexis Smith and Ann Sheridan as the girlfriends, Jack Carson (always a pleasure to see) and Eve Arden as the Russian soldier (Cyd Charise had to have watched this movie over and over because her Ninotchka accent is a dead on mimic of Eve Arden but with a more serious tone) round out the perfect cast for this screwball comedy.
This movie is just plain funny. It has fast and sassy snappy patter and just breezes along.
Check out those hairstyles! The clothes! How well photographed it is!
This film might seem odd to modern sensibilities, but let yourself go back to a simpler time where the motion picture code ruled and there was a censor right around every corner. I was rather surprised by a scene involving a bottle of scotch, the bell boy and the room he is told to take the bottle into.
The Doughgirls is fast, fun and funny. Just go along for the ride and you won't be disappointed. Let the hilarity ensue!

sorry to all the people that think ralph fiennes (still looking for someone to explain how that translates to ray fine, it has got to be a gimmick, and please don't give me a load of replies about it being some English/whatever bit, he is English/whatever and his family seems to be the only one that pulls this) but, tom noonan nailed the red dragon.
i read the book, i saw both movies, and i still think tom noonan nailed it.
so manhunter isn't a literal translation of the book. but, for my money tom noonan fits the character to a tee. he catches all the nuances and gets them all right.
his portrayal of an insular, pathetic, loner with a speech problem is quite believable.
