Thank ...My pleasure! I'm glad you liked it. :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for the invite on the new blogathon. I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate this time around (which makes me sad, because I'm a big Bacall fan), but I'm definitely open to future blogathons.

I've only just got around to reading the entries now, and I must say that I highly enjoyed reading your post. I have seen "The Devil Doll" on a few occasions, but need to see it again.<br /><br />Now that my Barrymore blogathon has finished, I've announced another blogathon that might interest you. The link is below if you would like to participate?<br /><br />https://crystalkalyana.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/in-the-good-old-days-of-classic-hollywood-presents-the-lauren-bacall-blogathon/Crystalhttps://crystalkalyana.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-39770670404611442042015-08-15T15:51:42.326-07:002015-08-15T15:51:42.326-07:00Credibility aside, I agree Barrymore's perform...Credibility aside, I agree Barrymore's performance in this movie is one for the ages.

As it is, he's utterly committed to his drag act, and I admire that kind of acting dedication. The story is nutty, but how can you not enjoy a mad-scientist plot to shrink the world? Plus the special effects with the miniaturized people are terrific and convincing to watch.Grand Old Movieshttp://grandoldmovies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1463671176628323648.post-32228854855996273452015-08-13T19:13:16.245-07:002015-08-13T19:13:16.245-07:00My pleasure!
