Blondes at Work (1938), fourth of the Torchy Blane B-movies. Fast-talking feisty girl reporter Torchy has scooped her rivals yet again and is on the trail of a murderer. Light breezy fun and Glenda Farrell is delightful as always.

Would love to think that Joe E. Brown, Jack LaRue, James Cagney and Pat O’Brien are all gathered around Glenda Farrell to celebrate her birthday today. 🎂

Glenda Farrell
“THE gold-digger of 1933—that's Glenda. And having a sense of humor, she must sometimes meditate on the irony of it all. For in real life she has ‘paid her own way’ since she was seven. …” — Motion Picture, Dec. 1933

Heat Lightning is a deliciously overheated overwrought 1934 pre-code sex melodrama with just a dash of film noir. Two crooks create emotional and sexual tensions in a desert truck stop. Aline MacMahon, Ann Dvorak, Glenda Farrell star.

“Miss Pacific Fleet” (1935)
Lots of silly, inconsequential fun — as you’d expect from a Joan Blondell-Glenda Farrell team up. Suffers from not enough Joan and Glenda, however!

Something you don’t see every day — Glenda Farrell on drums!

The Adventurous Blonde (1937) was the third movie starring Glenda Farrell as feisty girl reporter Torchy Blane. Fast-paced light breezy B-movie fun with Torchy investigating a hoax murder that might not be a hoax. Farrell is a delight.

The cast of “Snowed Under” (1936) — one of my favorite ensemble comedies from the 1930s. Hence, one of my favorite all-time comedies.

Glenda Farrell in one of my favorite photos of her
I don’t know the occasion for this photograph, but I like to imagine it was her boarding the train in 1939 to leave Hollywood and return to the stage.
-
Glenda Farrell in a promotion for “Traveling Saleslady” (1935). Glenda isn’t in the title role, but she plays the head of a chain of drug stores and sports the name Claudette Ruggles. Did I mention this has Joan Blondell, too?

Glenda Farrell portrait from her early years in Hollywood, ca. 1932

Glenda Farrell and Paul Muni for “I Was a Fugitive from a Chain Gang” (1932)
-
Glenda Farrell in a promotional still for “Adventurous Blonde” (1937), the third of her seven Torchy Blane films.
-
Brian Donlevy and Glenda Farrell in the very enjoyable comedy-drama about a deep sea cable diver, “High Tension” (1936). I found this in the #CriterionChannel Allan Dwan collection, but I’m surprised I didn’t find it earlier.
I’ve now seen 55 of the 73 Glenda Farrell films and should resume trying to track down the remainder—particularly the handful from the 1930s.

Leslie Brooks, Glenda Farrell, Linda Darnell, Doris Dudley and Margaret Hamilton in “City Without Men” (Columbia, 1943)

“Life Begins” (1932) is one of the many Loretta Young pre-codes airing today on #TCM (10:15am CDT).
It’s a good film, but for me is more notable for a terrific Glenda Farrell performance in one of her earliest movies in Hollywood. This is the performance that really kicked off her picture career.

Glenda Farrell, 1939
“THE ALL-PURPOSE SPORT SUIT....is advocated by Glenda Farrell, star of the TORCHY BLANE series (for Warners) and one of Hollywood's best-dressed women. From her personal wardrobe, she selects a suit of elephant-grey gaberdine with more to it than the eye can see in this picture.
A tailored skirt of matching color and material can be zipped on so that Mayor Torchy can go to places where slacks might be frowned on!”

Glenda Farrell’s supporting turn as a pregnant showgirl in “Life Begins” (1932) jump started her Hollywood career after a false start two years earlier in “Little Caesar”

The wonderful Glenda Farrell was #BOTD 1901 (not 1904 as often reported). Here is one of my favorite photos of her—with Paul Muni in “I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang” (1932).

Glenda Farrell, 1938
“GREEN WOOL - in lightweight fabric is chosen by Glenda Farrell now in Paramount's ‘Stolen Heaven,’ for this sports frock. The skirt is a straight, wraparound model and the jacket is buttoned up the front with matching green buttons. A peaked hat of green antelope with a black quill matches the dress.”

Finally a magazine promotion that interests me. I’m only 86 years late, alas.

Re-watching Glenda Farrell as Torchy Blane in the first entry in the series, “Smart Blonde” (1937). Co-starring Barton MacLane. A fun, light murder mystery.

Glenda Farrell with Alan Dinehart and Lyle Talbot in Seattle, Jan. 15, 1940—a couple days before the opening of their play, “Thanks for My Wife”.
Two months later the comedy became a hit on Broadway as “Separate Rooms”, running for 613 performances.
