Hollywood Marriage Go Round: Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn

I usually reserve this section for examples of those who, shall we say, take marriage somewhat lightly, but this time we have a couple who could be called "matrimonial heroes." Hume and Jessica were married in 1942, and remained so until her death 52 years later, in 1994. I admit that I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

Menaced Maidens

Sixth entry in our popular series of campy movie poster exhibitions, what this set of posters have in common is that they all show various creatures, whether animal, vegetable or mineral, alien or terrestrial, menacing a scantily clad female. If it strains your credulity to assume that a giant insect, a huge crustacean, an invading alien or a ridiculous looking robot would have any more interest in a scantily clad female than in any other person, well, that just shows how much you know!
