Just rewatched The Road to Hong Kong (1962), which is, I think, the least of the Road pictures. It’s the 7th and final one, and the one where they foolishly replace Dorothy Lamour with Joan Collins. I love Joan but she has zero chemistry with either man (not her fault, they’re both twice her age!).

Happy Halloween, from the very young, very blonde Ida Lupino. Starting tomorrow, the Criterion Channel has a collection covering her acting career, from Paramount ingenue to noir icon and one of the best actresses in Hollywood. I was proud to help put it together.
