You can find it here. I got 9 out of 10. Hardly ever seeing any films made after the early '60s finally paid off. In self-satisfaction, anyway. The Clara Bow question ruined my perfect score; the two "contestants" could be twins. And in the interests of full disclosure, I guessed at the Grainger question.

Kids today, they grow up fast. If they're not wearing mini skirts and padded bras and low-cut camis that say "Sexy" in sequins while making their Harry, Ron, and Draco action figures triple-team their favorite Bratz doll, 7-year-olds are begging 22-year-old movie stars to bite them. Innocence truly is dead. The San Francisco Chronicle reports: New British movie hunk Robert Pattinson has already tasted...

"The Drowsy Chaperone" is pure entertainment. This is not the Broadway show you were dragged to that had you checking your watch every other yawn. You can actually leave the watch behind because by the time you take a breath from laughing, it's all over and the curtain is already falling when most shows would only be breaking for intermission.

Included in this clip from a pre-Code film is a catfight between stars Clara Bow and Thelma Todd, both of whom had tragic lives and deaths: What is laughable is the myth Bow's voice had this heavy Brooklyn accent, and that hurt her in sound films. Actually her voice was great, just as John Gilbert's was. Bow's story was one of the most tragic of all Hollywood stars. David Stenn's Clara Bow: Running...

1930 is an interregnum: Ub Iwerks strikes out on his own and does idiosyncratic, unfocused work . The new Looney Tunes series more or less rips off Disney, except it makes the minstrelry more overt . The Fleischers know they have something in their Clara Bow-lookalike poodle , but they haven't quite worked out what to do with her yet. So let's say it's still Mickey's year. Of the 1930 Mouse toons I've...
