L'amour - l'amour.. ..Kitty Trimble & Quentin Ladd

This is a new series on this blog featuring my favourite film couples - real or fictitious (incl. just for publicity). I decided instead of doing themed months – which gave me a feeling of being limited and by that made me feel miserable and not in the mood to write anymore – to do several new series. That way I hope this blog won’t become a nuisance to you either.

Of course we'll need an icon for that series: 

~ nice, hm? ~

So here it is – one of my favourite film couples ever:

Kitty Trimble (Lucille Ball) and Quentin Ladd (Keenan Wynn) from WITHOUT LOVE (USA, 1945) 

For those who do not know the film - or do not remember it well:

Kitty and Quentin might not have the biggest part in this film - still it's my favourite.. 

They need some time to find each other because Edwina Collins (the great Patricia Morison - I love her!!) is off and on engaged to Quentin  - but apparently it's more a question of prestige than of love.. 

But in the end - well.. Kitty and Quentin made it into this series as a happy couple.. (At times I actually like couples to become happy.. I am not a fulltime malicious spinster..)

~ awww..
I want a Keenan Wynn, too!! ~

I know the film is more about Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy – but for me it’ll be always the story of how Quentin and Kitty became lovers..

Thank you all for listening!

Have a lovely weekend!

Yours 

Irene

Guess who? - The mysterious quoted person - revealed!

So.. finally .. after a lot of thinking.. 

Here is the person whose looks actually made this person very often typecasted.

 A person who wished to play some more serious parts.

A person who was very lettered - reading quite a lot - though you might not guess it from the characters this person played in the main. 

Actually a person who tried to commit suicide a few times - though it might be not that known.

Yes, though all this might also apply for Marilyn Monroe 

The person who said :

"I would like to have a façade behind a façade, 

and therefor I especially dislike my face."

-  is actually a man I like very, very much:

 Errol Flynn. 

I hope you had had fun with this kind of "quote quiz"..

Thank you very much for listening!

Yours very well and truly,

Irene
