Poses of Jerry Mouse from “The Karate Guard” ganged together on a page, as model sheets for Jerry in his karate outfit for the short. This would be Joe Barbera’s final directorial effort marking 65 years of Tom and Jerry.

Today marks MGM's 100th anniversary! We still think they should've picked the bear over the lion, though.

Blink Twice (dir. Zoë Kravitz).

[It] proves to be a thoughtful, thrilling cinematic rumination on our current gender politics masquerading as a fantasy island vacation, but it's almost too neat and tidy in how it wraps its searing themes about the toxic culture of performative actions against dangerous men.

MOVING PICTURE WORLD, June 14, 1924

[gracie-bird]

Early MGM personnel record filled out and signed by Grace Kelly in 1952.

In 1952, Kelly inked a seven-year contract with MGM under two conditions: first, that one out of every two years, she had time off to work in the theatre; and second, that she be able to live in New York City at her residence in Manhattan House, at 200 E. 66th Street. She would soon go to Nairobi, Kenya, to begin the production of the film Mogambo, replacing Gene Tierney, who dropped out at the last minute due to personal issues. Kelly later told Hollywood columnist Hedda Hopper, 'Mogambo had three things that interested me: John Ford, Clark Gable, and a trip to Africa, with expenses paid. If Mogambo had been made in Arizona, I wouldn't have done it.' For her turn as Linda Nordley, Kelly would be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
