Have you heard of Illuminati or secret society? Have you heard of Cairo, Egypt? Are you interested in the stars? I'm a queen, I have a crown over my head everyday. I hold the solar system meaning I can move the entire sky when I walk. If you look up into the sky, you should see the sun. Im underneath the sun about 12-14hrs everyday. When I walk I move the moon and sun. Depending on the weather, I may not be directly underneath but I'm really close if you see the sun in the sky, Cairo, Egypt, Top Secret Society. --Felicia aka Weezy F Baby, etc. Etc.

Last Monday evening UCLA showed Frank Capra's PLATINUM BLONDE as part of its series "Harlow Before the Code." Having thoroughly enjoyed HOLD YOUR MAN (1933) and RED-HEADED WOMAN (1932) at UCLA the previous Saturday night, I would have loved to be there for PLATINUM BLONDE, but I couldn't fit the trip to Westwood into my schedule.
I did the next-best thing and got out a video of the film I'd recorded some time ago from Turner Classic Movies. I'd never seen the film before and watched part of the movie late Monday night and just finished it this evening. I found it most enjoyable, livened by a zippy script, funny bits of business, and a very fresh performance by Robert Williams, who tragically died of complications from appendicitis just days after the film was released. The movies lost a unique personality when Williams passed on, at far too young an age.
Stew Smith (Williams) is a newspaperman who tangles with the wealthy Schuyler family over a story regarding some love letters written by son Michael (Donald Dillaway). Stew is as surprised as anyone to quickly fall for Ann (Harlow), the daughter of the family, and they marry after a whirlwind romance -- crushing the romantic dreams of Stew's "pal," fellow reporter Gallagher (Loretta Young).
Stew tries to convince Ann to move into his apartment but quickly finds himself agreeing to move into a wing of the Schuyler mansion. Before too long he feels like the proverbial bird in the gilded cage...
THREE-CORNERED MOON (1933) is often cited as one of the earliest examples of the screwball comedy, but PLATINUM BLONDE is an even earlier peek at the birth of a genre. Although Ann's family are more mean than screwy, there are some great bits of business, such as Stew and Grayson (Reginald Owen) constantly bowing toward one another, and Mrs. Schuyler (Louise Closser Hale) begging her butler for bicarbonate whenever she's stressed.
The butler, Smythe (Halliwell Hobbes), is a particularly marvelous character, whether he's dishing out double-strength bicarbonate, catching a reporter (Walter Catlett) socked by Stew, or demonstrating "puttering" to Stew in one of the best scenes of the film. This deceptively simple scene builds to one of the key moments in the film, where the butler helps Stew clarify his predicament, "Smythe to Smith."
A scene where Stew and Ann sing-song argue to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell" is amazingly loose for the era and serves both to show their initially fun relationship and the fact that Stew is losing the battle to be his own man; it made me think just a bit of the characters singing "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" in the much later Capra film HERE COMES THE GROOM (1951), which also helped establish the main characters' relationship.
Robert Williams plays the role with a drawling, cheery insolence, but he's also on target in the quieter dramatic moments. Watching his eyes and reactions in the final minutes with Loretta Young is like watching an acting class.
It's rather amazing to realize that Jean Harlow was just 20 when this was filmed, and Loretta Young was all of 18 years old. As some reviewers have pointed out, the film would have made a little more sense if Young were the high society woman and Harlow the newspaper reporter "pal."
However, it bears noting that this was so early in Harlow's career that she hadn't yet developed the familiar movie persona as the warm-hearted, wisecracking dame who would have fit right in on a newspaper staff. The woman of films like RED DUST (1932) and CHINA SEAS (1935) was still in the future, and Harlow is credible as a wealthy girl used to having her way. Young is top-billed, but in actuality has more of a third-billed role, waiting in the wings hoping for the man she loves to come back down to earth. She is quietly effective conveying her emotions without dialogue.
The movie runs 89 minutes. It was filmed by Joe Walker, who worked on countless Capra films.
PLATINUM BLONDE is available on DVD and VHS.
Recommended.
2021 Update: This film is also now available on DVD as part of a Loretta Young Comedy Triple Feature from Mill Creek and Critics' Choice.
Before things went sideways: The private U.S. spacecraft made it to the moon last Thursday and ushered in a new era of lunar missions since NASA's Apollo program ended five decades ago. It's likely the 14-foot-tall lander tripped on a rock and tipped over on its side when it touched down. Fortunately, the lander maintained limited function even though its antennas were not pointed at Earth. ? What Odysseus sent back to Earth.
Hamas officials on Tuesday appeared skeptical about the ongoing hostage negotiations in statements that came after President Joe Biden said he hoped a deal would be reached within the next week, before the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan. But Ahmad Abdul Hadi, Hamas' representative in Lebanon, said Tuesday that the militant group is not satisfied with the proposal "because it does not fulfill our demands."
What's in the latest deal: The proposal was put together by U.S., Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Paris last weekend and includes the release of up to 40 women and older hostages as well as the release of up to 300 Palestinians, mostly children, women and older people being held in Israeli prisons. ?

The "Magic of Macy's" has fizzled out at scores of its stores. Through 2026, Macy's says it will shut down 150 "underproductive" stores, or roughly 30% of all locations while prioritizing investments in 350 "go-forward" stores, the retailer announced Tuesday. It says it will close 50 stores by the end of this fiscal year. The statement says this move will allow it to refocus its resources and prioritize other stores, like Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury. ?️ Everything we know.
The U.S. space agency NASA launched the near-identical probes -- named Grail-A and Grail-B -- aboard a relatively small Delta II rocket to save money. It will take nearly four months for the unmanned spacecraft to reach the moon, a long, roundabout journey compared with the zippy three-day trip that Apollo astronauts took four decades ago.
"Grail, simply put, is a journey to the centre of the moon," said Ed Weiler, head of NASA's science mission directorate, borrowing from the title of the Jules Verne science fiction classic, "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
Beginning in March, once the spacecraft are orbiting just 34 miles (55 kilometres) above the moon's surface, scientists will monitor the slight variations in distance between the two to map the moon's entire gravitational field. The measurements will continue through May.
"It will probe the interior of the moon and map its gravity field 100 to 1,000 times better than ever before. We will learn more about the interior of the moon with Grail than all previous lunar missions combined," Weiler said.
At the same time, four cameras on each spacecraft will offer schoolchildren the opportunity to order up whatever pictures of the moon they want. The educational effort is spearheaded by Sally Ride, America's first spacewoman.
Zuber, the Grail mission's principal investigator and a planetary scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the precise lunar gravity measurements will help her and other planetary scientists better understand how the moon evolved over the past 4 billion years. The findings also should help identify the composition of the moon's core: whether it's made of solid iron or possibly titanium oxide.
Another puzzle that Grail may help solve, Zuber said, is whether Earth once had a smaller second moon. Last month, astronomers suggested the two moons once collided and the little one glommed onto the big one, a possible explanation for how the lunar highlands came to be.
