As usual, superb photos, all. Love those jazz club pics, ethereal. And Gaylord...isn't that great line you qutte from Mildred Pierce followed by the immortal "Get out before I kill you!!" You go girl!
Another series of tidbits about PRC Studios, dished up at an interesting site called Carfax Abbey:
http://carfaxabbey.blogspot.com/search/label/PRC
Among the gems of info. about "PRC Gals" such as Rosemary La Planche (Miss America 1941 and PRC Starlet) and Julie London, star of "Nabonga" (!) the author reveals the real identity of the notorious floozie GAIL TEMPEST, the gal in black swimsuit and crested hat who does the naughty little courtroom dance number that disgusts the old ladies on the jury in the Three Stooges' "Disorder in the Court."
Finally, yes, the LA Noir festival has an impressive line-up this year. Included is a totally-forgotten film that was recently restored (reported in LA Times), "Strangers in the Night," from Republic (1944). Also Joan Crawford in the entertaining camp classic, "Female on the Beach" (1955) ...tough-as-nails but hungry-for-love widow moves into a house in Newport Beach and soon encounters money-hungry stud.
