Movie Pass and Walk of Fame Adventures: Splitsville and Love Me Forever (1935), and a bit more

Splitsville

The cast of Splitsville

This was fun, but once again I must ask: writer/directors, please stop casting yourselves as leads.

This fake poster was motivated by nothing but the fact that I liked the font on the original but couldn’t find anything that resembled it. So I made my own. It’s only letters right now, and the spacing is a little weird, but it works!

Seriously, that font rips.

Love Me Forever

I watched this because it was the only Grace Moore movie I could find. She was an opera singer turned actress, so naturally she plays a woman who just happens to be really good at singing opera. She’s fine, but Leo Carrillo (who I honestly only knew from the beach named after him) is way more fun to watch.

This poster continues my current “one good one, one bad one” pattern. This was a good idea, but the execution is weak.

Bonus Walk of Fame Thing!

One of the walk of fame stars is for Frank Fay. He is credited as the creator of modern standup comedy and the entertainment job of emcee. He was also a racist, fascist, antisemitic, egotistical ass, so I went out of my way to watch enough of him to say “I saw him on film” without having to sit through a real performance. I found a twenty minute promotional film with tons of stars called The Stolen Jools. Fay is in it for about ten seconds, and that’s plenty for me. And no star for him, either.
