Lucky Barbara


Loved this one. How gorgeous were both of the "desert waif's" leading men?

"Movies, now more than ever."

I totally concur.

Heh heh. I'm a hetero guy and even I noticed: 'Hey, both those guys are pretty hunky for an old silent.' Then again, Barbara herself was no slouch, either.

But all three of them lose to the real beauty prize winner for me: so many amazing shots of the desert West.

I had wanted to see this movie for many years and finally lucked out when TCM aired it a few months ago. Great technique in the flood scenes.

And Ronald Colman in his only Western, wow! (Albeit set in the contemporary era in which this film was made.) To say nothing of getting to see Gary Cooper in a silent picture, and in his first featured role, at that!
