Earlier this month, Paul Muni was featured as part of Tuner Classic Movies annual Summer Under the Stars. His 24 hours of programming included the two movies he made with Ann Dvorak. Tomorrow, it’s Lee Tracy’s turn <\/a>and his line-up also features two Dvorak flicks.<\/p>\n

First up is\u00c2\u00a0The Strange Love of Molly Louvain<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(1932, Warner Bros\/First National) which is airing at 11:30am PST. We’ve talked about\u00c2\u00a0Molly Louvain<\/strong> quite a bit on this website over the years, and if you’re a Dvorak devotee it’s a must. This is one of Ann’s few starring roles, this film where she hooked-up with Leslie Fenton (she would marry him within weeks), and contains one of her most memorable scenes – playing the piano while singing a scat version of “Penthouse Serenade.”<\/p>\n

Next at 2:15pm PST is\u00c2\u00a0Love is a Racket<\/strong><\/a>, which is also a 1932 Warner Bros\/First National production. Dvorak and Tracy are not the stars of this one, but they’re arguably more interesting to watch together than Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Frances Dee who are the leads. Ann doesn’t have too much to do other than glare at Frances Dee and hang out in a bathrobe, but it is worth noting that the day after this finished filming she eloped to Yuma, AZ with Leslie Fenton.<\/p>\n

It’s been a Dvorak filled summer which looks like it’s going to carry over into the fall. Enjoy it while it’s going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
