      [Last Film I Watched] Kitty Foyle (1940) 6.9/10

      Other than being a sartorial trendsetter of its namesake Kitty Foyle dress, Sam Wood’s solid screen adaptation of Christopher Morley’s novel, penned by Mr. Trumbo, also confers its star Ginger Rogers a golden opportunity to strut her stuff, not her usual terpsichorean nimbleness, but her acting bent, and its reward is a hard-earned Oscar statuette, pipping strong contenders like Bette Davis in THE LETTER (1940, 8.0/10), Joan Fontaine in REBECCA (1940, 8.3/10) and Katharine...

      Forever Hollywood Queen - Ginger Rogers

      Mention Ginger Rogers and most people immediately think of musicals from the heyday of Hollywood's golden age. Ginger Rogers is always a Hollywood dancer in people's hearts, so that the image is so deeply rooted that people forget that Rogers is not only a dancer, she is also an excellent actor. The 1940 film "Long Live the Woman" was undoubtedly a milestone in Rogers' acting career.

      Not bad, breaking the American dream, trying to look at love from a feminist perspective, but as the opening film shows, the understanding of feminism is somewhat biased. At that time, people were advocating not to worship money, but now we are all about the rhythm of Korean dramas where we can live a good life by marrying into a wealthy family. Obviously, our consciousness is not correct. The film is a bit slow, but it's convincing, and Jin Ji fits in well with the characters. Fairy tale...
