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.

Okay, now let’s have Leslie Caron not as a pixie! . . . “Love Me or Leave Me” started out to be the story of Ruth Etting, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s more the story of Moe (The Gimp) Snyder because of the terrific performance of James Cagney . . . And I’m not taking anything away from Doris Day who’s at her best, but that Cagney man is just too much . . . Which reminds me of that cat Sheree North who told me she started in show business as a chorus girl at the age of 13. “I needed the loot,” explained Sheree. “It wasn’t hard to lie about my age because I was well-developed.” . . . The Liberace fans will probably break a candelabra when they learn that in his movie “Sincerely Yours,” the love interest has been assigned to Tab Hunter and Dorothy Malone. At a party, Debra Paget remarked: “Isn’t he handsome — that other-looking fellow.” ... I won’t argue, but I say that Jeanne Crain looks good as a brunette ... My favorite character Mike Curtiz directing a scene gave this instruction : “Then a whole bunch of men come in surrounded by a little fellow in the middle.” That’s Hollywood for you.
