When I finally climb into that long-wished-for time travel machine, I suspect that this night might be on my list of destinations. This is the premiere of MGM’s The Women at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. The date was July 31, 1939, which means MGM was operating at the top of their game, with their all-star cast, and one of their primo directors (George Cukor) at the most famous theater in Hollywood. And as we can see, the sidewalks are PACKED. And maybe—just maybe—if you look closely you might see my face. (I wish!)
