Two Bennetts and One Montgomery

Robert Montgomery co-starred with both of the Bennett sisters Constance and Joan in his early career (and their early careers too!). I have always liked Constance Bennett and Joan Bennett and love watching their movies! I know that Constance and Robert Montgomery were friends off the screen and Joan cited that Bob Montgomery was one of the men that she "might have loved" in a 1939 issue of Picturegoer Weekly.

Bob worked with Constance in Jack Conway's The Easiest Way (1931) and Bob worked with Joan in the now lost film Three Live Ghosts (1929). Three Live Ghosts was Bob's film debut (he was 24 almost 25 years old and Joan was 19 years old). It's a shame that this film is lost and I hope that it's found in my lifetime!
