Description:
The leading Hollywood fan magazine of the 1920s and 1930s. Photoplay offered readers portraits of their favorite movie stars and stories about their personal lives. The magazine played an important promotional function for the Hollywood industry, but its editors and reviewers could also be highly critical of Hollywood. Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

Bob didn't talk at all — not with that razor slithering around so close to his throat! Then Director Alfred Hitchcock called "Cut" — and another scene for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was in the bag. Now this film marks a special event for Lombard: It is the first time in three years that she has worn modern clothes in a picture.
