"My Man Godfrey," "Libeled Lady," "The Great Ziegfeld," "After The Thin Man" and "The Ex-Mrs. Bradford"?

We really enjoyed it and of course William Friese Greene was instrumental in the 3D development process as well ( which we mentioned in our other post ).

Obviously there were some exceptions, but generally 1936 films were more modern than those made before 1935.

You gave me a new perception and reminded me of some films I still have to see - like The Story of Louis Pasteur. And it was very interesting to add the list of top money-making stars and box-office successes.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :) <br />Kisses!<br />Le<br />http://www.criticaretro.blogspot.com.br/2015/06/1928-ao-redor-do-mundo-em-80-filmes.htmlLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-11398639713495131252015-06-28T16:24:07.216-04:002015-06-28T16:24:07.216-04:00Excellent post!
