They don't make 'em like that anymore

Watched Manpower on TCM .

Marlene Dietrich certainly had a way about her. Even simply in the way she spoke.
The way she delivered a line was hypnotic . I can see why she was a star.

They don't make movies like these anymore. You couldn't get away with the aloofness, the vampness. The corny dialogs and shaky sets - but there really was something magical about the black and white movies.

While films have improved a million times  over , I think we may have a lost a bit of the glamour .

There is a certain romance to these movies; not in the script  but in the way they were put together.
