#WomanEmpowermentWednesday #ChristmasEdition Bette Davis in "The Man who Came to Dinner" (1942)

Bette Davis's Maggie Cutler is the perfect bad ass lady powered Davis-esque character. As a usually amused but slightly beleaguered assistant to critic and radio host Sheridan Whiteside (Monty Wooley), Cutler is ready to leave the best job she's ever had for a small town reporter who is in love with her.

#ManCrushMonday #ChristmasEdition David Niven in "The Bishop's Wife" (1947)

David Niven usually is incredibly dapper, but in "The Bishop's Wife," there is something touching in Bishop Henry Brougham's internal struggle. Obsessed in raising funds for the church where he has been re-stationed in recent years, he has forgotten the true spiritual extension of his work... and his relationship with wife Julia (Loretta Young). It all changes when he prays for help from God, but instead of receiving help with investors, the angel Dudley (Cary Grant) is really out to repair his relationship with his wife.

#ManCrushMonday #MenBeingCivilBadassesEdition Errol Flynn and Animal Rights on the Set of "Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936)

An avid horseman, Flynn watched horrified as the climatic charge scene take place. Lined with tripwires to cause the horses to fall over, 125 tripped but 25 were killed in the process or had to be put down. Furious over the mistreatment and how disinterested the director, Michael Curtis, really was, Flynn attacked at his "Captain Blood" director. They were pulled apart before any serious damage was done. Their relationship was changed and would only speak to each other when spoken on later films. But the charge sequence brought around changes in Congress to ensure animal safety on film and the ASPCA banned the usage of tripwire.

To Be or Not To Be (1942)

#ManCrushMonday Douglass Montgomery in "Waterloo Bridge" (1931)

The very definition of bright eyed and bushy tailed, Montgomery's Roy Cronin is not stained by World War 1 or tragic love until the end of the movie. But in his descent, he truly becomes a man in wanting to sacrifice himself for his love of Mae Clarke's Myra and it certainly does not hurt that he is damned good-looking.
