1. I looked up "Three On a Match" on IMDb

because I'd never seen it or even heard of it before.

The general opinion is that Davis is wasted, but it's a really strong film. I certainly think the Blondell/Dvorak/
Davis combination is a good one. I'll have to keep an eye out in case it's ever shown here, because it's one I'd
like to see.

And CB, I love the old Christmas card.

2. Thanks.

With Halloween, I started taking the royalty-free nostalgic artwork seriously!

By the way, on looking back at my post, it strikes me that there are an awful lot of smokers represented there! :shrug: It certainly wasn't deliberate.

3. Isn't it strange to see people always lighting up in old movies?

We took it for granted when we were kids; now, you cringe.
