Before Myrna Loy became his big screen BFF for life and before Bette Davis became the queen of the Warner Bros. lot, two very different stars made their inroads at the studio. William Powell, a black hat villain from the silent screen, was given new life as the talkies revealed his urbane wit and sophistication. Kay Francis, meanwhile, exuded class and authority, a glamorous individual who played everyone from vixens to doctors. Separate, they were strong. Together, they were fantastic. This issue examines one of their best– and, frankly, wildest— pairings, the 1932 comedy Jewel Robbery. Also included is a review of one of Powell’s best efforts at Warners and one of Francis’ most delightful comedies to boot.
