2,000 POSTS DONE!, so I am posting less frequently, but will still be adding news, comments and photos.. As archived, its a ramble through my movie watching, music and old magazine store and discussing People We Like [Loren, Monroe, Vitti, Romy Schneider, Lee Remick, Kay Kendall, Anouk & Dirk Bogarde, Delon, Belmondo, Jean Sorel, Belinda Lee; + Antonioni, Hitchcock, Wilder, Minnelli, Cukor, Joni Mitchell, David Hockney etc]. As Pauline Kael wrote: "Art, Trash and the Movies"!

"9 out of 10 film stars use ...." continued

Back in July I did a post on movie stars selling Lux soap in those magazine ads of the 1950s, featuring Jean Simmons and Kay Kendall plugging Lux soap and watches. It was a piece on Sophia in the '50s, before she went into American films, where she had 4 Italian films opening in London that year. I wrote "I bet Sophia plugged Lux soap too" - see Soap label. She did - and here it is, thanks to that great PEPLUM site. http://peplums.blogspot.co.uk/
