Every classic film blogger and their grandmother’s great-uncle Fang has written about this movie. Now…it’s my turn.

THE STRANGER ( 1946 )

 

I am new to LORETTA YOUNG. Well, not exactly. More accurately, I’ve had my eyes wide shut to her through most of my early classic film journey. ( I know, I know… ‘there are none so blind as those who cannot see.’ ) A young friend of mine ( KM-P ) from a land far far away, asked me if I had seen Loretta’s pre–code films. Uhhhmmm, not really. Late 30’s yeah, but not early. She suggested I start with her pre-code work. I since have. Holy cow, who knew!!!

Another friend texted me about an early film of Loretta’s she had taken out of the library and I was able to chime in as though I knew this fact all along. Well now I know. And now I wholeheartedly join a slew of bloggers to celebrate the career of fellow Capricorn, Loretta Young. 

“LA OTRA” ( 1946 )

“The two most beautiful things in the world are
the Taj Mahal and Dolores del Rio.”

Let the List begin…
