sovay: (Lord Peter Wimsey)
Home movies of Leslie Howard were discovered in September. How did I miss this?

This post brought to you by The Petrified Forest (1936), which I screened for [livejournal.com profile] captainbutler tonight. I went looking for Howard's filmography afterward and found the above. Maybe now I'll finally be able to get a book of his radio broadcasts . . .1

(Also, documentary? Ticket, please.)

1. Some of his writings were collected decades after his death as Trivial Fond Records (1982), edited by his son Ronald Howard. Findability of this book for less than astronomic prices or even at all: nil. I still look for it whenever I'm in sufficiently arcane used book stores, but it's not the sort of thing I expect people give away.
