The Warner Archive<\/a> continues its monthly drain on my bank account by releasing three more films with Ann-D in them.<\/p>\n

First up are Lord Byron of Broadway<\/a> <\/strong>and Chasing Rainbows<\/strong><\/a>, two films from Ann’s days as an M-G-M chorus girl. Unlike last month’s release, Love in the Rough<\/strong><\/a>, where Ann’s one scene was cut out, I know at least some of her musical numbers are intact in both of these. However, I believe Chasing Rainbows<\/strong> may be missing some two-color Technicolor scenes that Ann appeared in. This now brings the Warner Archive’s total to seven of Ann’s twenty or so uncredited films at M-G-M. I would love to see them release a collection of shorts, since she’s in at least eight of those.<\/p>\n

Next up is Midnight Alibi<\/a>, <\/strong>a 1934 Warner Bros\/First National release starring Richard Barthelmess. I commented on this film in a previous post a while back.<\/a> Midnight Alibi <\/strong>is\u00c2\u00a0 typical of the thankless roles Ann was playing in the mid-1930s, but it’s one that I have been able to sit through a few times, which is not the case with many of\u00c2\u00a0 her Warner films. This is the second of Ann’s 1930s titles to be released through the Warner Archive, along with The Strange Love of Molly Louvain<\/a>. <\/strong>My one gripe is that Helen Chandler is featured on the decorative box art with Barthelmess instead of Ann.<\/p>\n

Between these DVD releases and the increased Ann sightings on Turner Classic Movies, 2010 has already been a solid year for the Divine Miz-D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
