Life This Week: January 9, 1939


The always-adorable Myrna Loy stars in this 1939 De Soto ad. It mentions that Ms. Loy's next film will be Another Thin Man. I'm always up for watching a Thin Man movie and I couldn't for the life of me find the "Movie of the Week," Zaza, starring Claudette Colbert and Herbert Marshall (anyone know if it even still exists?). So, I got Another Thin Man from Netflix and had a thoroughly good time. Sure, the plot is a bit convoluted, but William Powell and Myrna Loy are as charming as ever. Definitely recommended.



You'll have to pardon me for not testing this week's Baker's Chocolate recipe myself. Paul's grandmother isn't doing well and we're going to visit her in the hospital today. I'm not sure what our plans will be for the next few days, so I didn't want any leftovers hanging around the house if I could help it.

However, the Delicious Chocolate Cottage Pudding does indeed sound delicious. If you try it out, please let me know!

  1. Love those old school actors - so elegant. I haven't heard of a De Soto since Happy Days! The pudding sounds delish. Hope Paul's grandmother gets well soon.
