🤣 Ah, another day, another "leak" where we're told regexes are *frustrating* and #AI hides itself like a teenage ninja. 🤦‍♂️ So, someone’s code map got out—cue the #melodrama and fake tool hysteria. Let's just say, if you're losing sleep over this "exposure," it's time for new hobbies. 💤

The Temptress (1926), one of Greta Garbo's first major hits. She plays a vamp who may or may not be entirely wicked. Beautifully crafted unabashed melodrama with Garbo's subtlety and star quality already very evident. She is stunning and sexy.

Flesh and the Devil is a 1926 MGM silent melodrama starring Greta Garbo and John Gilbert. A huge hit which made Garbo a star. Gloriously lurid, steamy, melodramatic and romantic and absolutely dripping with sex. Garbo sizzles. Great movie.

Piccadilly, a stylish 1929 British silent melodrama. Pretty Chinese girl Shosho gets her chance as a dancer and becomes the toast of the town. Pure romantic melodrama, let down by the ending. Anna May Wong gives her best performance as Shosho.

All That Heaven Allows (1955), a glorious melodrama directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Ross Hunter. Middle-aged widow Jane Wyman falls in love with her gardener (Rock Hudson).

Melodrama has always been despised by critics but I enjoy it, and this one has class.

The Female Animal was Hedy Lamarr’s last movie. Not at all a bad way for her career to end. She has a really juicy part and she makes the most of it.

Hedy plays a fading movie stars who acquires a new toy boy (played by George Nader). This causes problems with her (Jane Powell).

A very entertaining noirish grown-up sex melodrama and Lamarr is terrific.
