Before we step into the shadows of Halloween, it's time for one last glimpse of sunshine, as I whirl you through the back catalogue of Joan Blondell!
I've got two Joanie movies to tell you about, including a romantic crime thriller set in the fast-moving world of telephone... engineering...? And then we're off to Paris, as Joan puts into action a series of schemes designed to teach a haughty royal a lesson about how to treat girls.

The Gateway To Halloween
We're in that strange nether-period, when the lights are drawing low and a chill is in the air. However, it's still slightly too early to jump feet first into Halloween...
So this time round, let me show you around two chilly tales that might keep your inner ghoul satisfied until Spooktober arrives!
First of all, a shadowy, supernaturally-tinged murder mystery with a very famous pair of investigators, and following that, a death note arrives for a very bad man in the shape of a mysterious doll...

See Those Girls, Watch Those Scenes
Attaboy Clarence returns with a double-bill of juvenile energy!
Shirley Temple heads up a forerunner of The Parent Trap in 1940's Kathleen, her first role away from curls and lollipops, trying her darnedest to match Herbert Marshall with Laraine Day, while scheming to keep Gail Patrick at bay...
And in Mad About Music, Deanna Durbin's doing the exact opposite - trying to match Herbert Marshall with Gail Patrick, while dealing with school bullies, mistaken identities, and that elusive High C note!

Sisters In Crime
This time around, join me as I present two movies in which the girls are planted squarely at the heart of matters.
In 1939's Within The Law, Ruth Hussey is the wrongfully convicted shopgirl who exacts a diabolical revenge on the big business magnate who showed no mercy.
In 1937's She's Dangerous, a thief turns out to be a double-agent, working for the law to defeat a gang of racketeers, but ending up on trial for a murder she didn't commit!
