Thelma Ritter shows off her collection of whimsical penny-saver banks in a photo from one of her early newspaper interviews…

So much great stuff on @tcmtv.bsky.social today -- including my all-time favorite movie, The Women (1939). I will never see it too many times. Here are some of the things I love about this MGM gem: tinyurl.com/yckfttut

#BehindTheScenes cast photo from the set of #TheBestYearsofOurLives, on #TCM tonight! Visitors to the set this day included General Curtis LeMay (c), writer-producer Sy Bartlett (far r) with his hand resting on Goldwyn star #DannyKaye. 📸Wyler Fam #TCMParty #MemorialDay #Veterans

Happy Friday! #WilliamWyler on the set of #TheBestYearsofOurLives ca. April 1946. #TCMParty #Veterans

Happy World Bee Day -- we love our pollinators!

I intend to have one of these in our yard some day.

I haven't seen this one but I like the cast. I recently saw Diane Baker introduce the film CAMILLE at #TCMFF 2026. She is very knowledgable. Peck's ARABESQUE was shown but I didn't make it to that screening. MIRAGE (1965), tonight at 8:00 PM on #TCM. #classicmovies

Tomorrow on @tcmtv.bsky.social: Primetime - Two-For-One: Sheryl Lee Ralph #TCMParty ^JW

Dana Delany and Gigi Perreau discuss There’s Always Tomorrow at the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival. #DanaDelany #TCM #TCMFF 📼: youtu.be/6X7vZKQ2mI8

A beautiful film. I saw this at #TCMFF 2014. TOKYO STORY (1953), tonight at 12:15 AM on #TCM. #classicmovies

Happy 80th Birthday to Hayley Mills! #HayleyMills #TheParentTrap #Pollyanna

I hope they vote against it…#Zaslav #WarnerBrothers variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I don’t think he’s worth it… #Zaslav

Yay!! filmfestival.tcm.com/programs/sch...

Happy heavenly birthday to cool cat James Garner! #filmsky

I really enjoyed the documentary “Roger Corman: The Pope of Pop Cinema.” Here’s Mr. Corman on the #TCMFF Red Carpet in 2016…. #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social

A Small Town in Texas is probably a 2.5 star film, but throw in Bo Hopkins and some Dukes of Hazzard-style car chases and it goes up a notch. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes, it’s on Prime for a few more weeks.

Whoops! What happened to the finale of Adventures of Tartu? #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social

Cat on the roof…

The manuscript for “Thelma Ritter: Hollywood’s Favorite New Yorker” has been sent to the publisher for review. Working on photos and captions as I type…😉

Yvonne Buckingham is still with us at 89! #TCMParty #Sapphire

Step into the shadows… 🌙 Join us for a Summer of Darkness—classic crime, mystery, and intrigue every Friday night in June & July. Femme fatales, hardboiled detectives, and twists await. No schedule yet, but Eddie says it's his 'greatest hits'. See you in the shadows. #SummerOfDarkness #TCMParty ^JW

Oh, oh! And tonight a double header of melancholic, inappropriate, middle age sexual adventures starting with Goodbye, Again (1961) & followed by one of my very favorite films Bonjour Tristesse (1958). I’ll bet TCM is touting them as “Goodbye” films or some other cutesy trope. #tcmparty

🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day!🍀 Remembering a special cinematic moment for March 17… suesueapplegate.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/t...

After #TheBestYearsofOurLives premiered in London and began its record-setting run in March 1947, English critic C. A. Lejeune lauded the film in London's Observer, writing, "...it deserves the clear judgment we should be prepared to give to any other foreign picture." #TCMParty

Remembering Thelma Ritter: Queen of Character Actors🌟 No one delivered a line - or a look - like Thelma, whether as loner Moe in Pick up on South Street, curious Stella in Rear Window, or fiesty Birdie in All About Eve. #filmsky #Oscar #noirsky #TCMParty #classicmovies

GREAT TIME at #NoirCity23 hosting a class from Berkeley High School at the Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland. For many, it was their first time seeing a black and white film on the big screen. Their initiation? Bogart and Bacall in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT. #TCM #NoirAlley

AND LATER THIS MONTH … once we wind up #NoirCity23 in Oakland … I’ll be in NYC for #TCM. Rosie and I hope to see you there!

Thelma Ritter always claimed Joe Mankiewicz was one of her favorite directors…. #TCMParty #ALetterToThreeWives

Crooked Trumpsters’ bogus effort to stop offshore wind blew up in federal court today. Stopping clean energy raises customers’ costs, but the money goes to fossil fuel power plants (aka Trump’s big donors). The corrupt scam took a beating today in court.

Still reveling in yesterday’s victory against the crooked Trumpsters and their bogus anti-wind efforts.

No surprise. MAGA DOJ is constantly getting crushed in court. For good reason. Always the question: gangster, or gong show? BTW: Incompetence is not usually cured by demanding the incompetents work faster.

Thelma Ritter has a love affair of her own in “A New Kind of Love” with Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Eva Gabor, and George Tobias… #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social

A fabulous new book!! www.iseeadarktheater.com/one-month-of...
