...Glenn Erickson reviews the new 6-film Esther Williams DVD set at DVD Savant. (Click the title of this post for the link.) THRILL OF A ROMANCE (1945) has some of MGM's most spectacular color of the 1940s. And the DVD chapter selections will be very handy for skipping to the great dancing by Ricardo Montalban and Cyd Charisse in FIESTA (1947). The set is a must for fans of Williams or MGM musicals.
...The return of UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS? Be still, my heart! Jean Marsh will once again play Rose, who is now the housekeeper at 165 Eaton Place; it will be set in 1936. Two episodes will be filmed next spring, with a complete series possibly to follow.

...The Classic Hollywood Nerd pays tribute to actress Rochelle Hudson, who has turned up in the credits of a couple movies I've recorded recently, including LES MISERABLES (1935) and CONVICTED WOMAN (1940).
...Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond has posted some great-looking new recipes: Pan-Fried Pork Chops and Roasted Garlic and New Potatoes. Yum! Everything you need to know about making the recipes is provided in step-by-step photos.

...My favorite newspaper, USA TODAY, is having difficulty: they just announced a 17 percent drop in circulation.

...The blog The Footnotes of Mad Men, which describes itself as a "cultural catalogue," may be of interest to fans of the series.
...Some counter service restaurants at Disney World's Magic Kindom are testing a new table reservation system. The restaurants include Pecos Bill's and Columbia Harbour House. (Hat tip: The Disney Blog.)
Have a great weekend!
