all that glitters is not gold

the other night i watched one of my fave films, 'animal kingdom.' i can't get enough of actor leslie howard. his most famous work is in 'gone with the wind', a movie i don't really care too much about. his performances in 'pygmalion' and 'of human bondage' are exquisite. in 'animal kingdom' he plays such a darling guy, a book publisher, who marries a very alluring, but deceiving woman played by the terrific myrna loy. 'Some perfect wife I am. I've been married four times, divorced four times, have no children, and can't boil an egg.'-myrna loy. one of the real treats in this thirties film is the actor who plays leslie's butler.

After seeing Leslie Howard in pygmalion, totally blows Rex Harrison in my fair lady out of the water. Leslie was wonderful in it.
