1933 brings forward the film Don't Bet on Love. This is an admirable first gesture of the Ayres Archive immediately available online. What is more this is a film showing at least some shades of the relationship between Lew Ayres and Ginger Rogers (married 1934-1940).
To be honest there is little that my father would actually ever say about Ginger, aside from his enduring appreciation of her as a very fine soul. He spoke a little about playing tennis with her, and he spoke about her influence in terms of understanding Christian Science.
I would like to start this thread to see if there are comments pertinent to understanding and appreciating this film.
I note the presence of Carl Laemmle as the producer of this film. My father had a very positive, caring relationship with Mr. Laemmle to his last days. I remember visiting Laemmle's home as a child of eight or nine years of age. We visited him more than once. It seemed his room was enormous and open, with a very great view. I remember that there was an aloneness to the residence, the presence of in-home care-giver... and of eating corn chips in the kitchen while my dad talked with Carl.
