Happy Birthday!

It's Guy Kibbee's birthday today! (That's him on the right, in case you were wondering.)

Speaking of which, I had the opportunity, not too long ago, to see one of his early films — City Streets, made at Paramount in 1931. While notable as a precursor of "film noir," I mention it here because I think it's the only film I've ever seen Guy Kibbee in where he wasn't paying a mostly comic character — he's genuinely sinister here! (It's a terrific film, and highly recommended.)
