The Kid "lies" to enable Ann to be freed from her past .... perhaps. Great ending to one of the foundational film noirs. 👏 #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

"Well, build my gallows high, baby." Title drop (of the novel)! #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

Ann: She can't be all bad. No one is. Jeff: Well, she comes the closest. Jeff is really throwing some out of earshot shade at Kathie. 🧐 #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

Hard to believe, but Jane Greer was just 23 years old when she starred in #OutOfThePast. A remarkable performance. "Wait a minute. I'm not framing any woman." / "When did YOU reform?!" 😂 #TCMParty

Kathie: I don't want to die. Jeff: Neither do I, baby, but if I have to, I'm going to die last. #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

Rhonda Fleming appreciation post. Her role is brief - and the film also has Jane Greer and Virginia Huston - but she does make an impression. #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

A good one. #OutOfthePast has some many great lines. Among some of the "minor classics": "Is there a way to win?" / "There's a way to lose more slowly." #TCMParty

"Why don't you break his neck Jeff?" ... I think Kathie likes the violence. PS: "The Killers" (1946) has a flashback count, and we could have one for the numbers of times Kathie lies in #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

"Baby, I don't care!" A line that really summarizes the spirit of film noir. #OutOfThePast #TCMParty

How long before they aim their sights on film noirs and other classic films? 😱 🤓

Another great viewing of #TheSoundOfMusic. I would really like to stay up for #VictorVictoria, but I have a long day of work ahead. Enjoy. And be safe everyone. #TCMParty

Anybody want to jump through the TV and ring Rolfe little neck? I do!!! #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Take a bow lady. Or take a hundred! 😂 #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Damn Onions. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Ok folks. Breakthrough Moment #5. Things get REAL. Very REAL. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

I'm sure certain people are already demanding that this scene be removed. 🙄 #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

For the mathematically inclined, the worldwide adjusted gross of #TheSoindOfMusic is about $2.5 billion, making it among the top films of all time. Today, of course, we would have a Von Trapp shared universe of films. 🙄 #TCMParty

Breakthrough Moment #3: Maria comes back into the fold. And moment #4 is coming right up. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

.. about those berries? #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Personal Take: If you aren't moved by "Climb ev'ry mountain" ... .... check for a pulse. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

As the kids might say, the Baroness just "played herself." Be careful what you wish for girl. That she is completely out of her depth with the kids is really obvious. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

In the 4K Fathom Event screening the "intermission" was only about 2 minutes long IIRC (expected longer). #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Agreed. And breakthrough moment #2. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Yet another "banger" 🎼edelweiss 🎼. I'll admit that I got a little teary eyed when I saw this part (and the later rendition) on the big screen last month. ... maybe it's the state of the world. #TCMParty #THeSoundOfMusic

For later folks. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDdi...

The Captain SINGS! Breakthrough Moment #1 #TCMParty #THeSoundOfMusic

"Oh yes YOU can help it! You MUST help it" Preach it brother. 👏 #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Late to the party, but a Robert Wise appreciation post is called for. He directed so many classic films and in a wide range of categories. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Anybody else having flashbacks to early grade school with 🎼 "do-re-mi 🎼 ? #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Another favorite: 🎼 My favorite things 🎼 ... I too try to think back to nice things. 👍 #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Rolfe👎 Liesl can (and deserves) better. #TCMParty #TheSoundOfMusic

Don't worry about Brigitta's attitude Maria. She's going to be shot off into space (and lost) within a few months .... never to return. #THeSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

"The poor didn't want this one!" 😂 #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Maria is everyone that realizes that they may not make it back to the office in time after their lunch hour. 😂 #SoundOfMusic #TCMParty

BTW: This opening is really breathtaking in 4K on a large screen. - from the obvious files #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

I'm I enjoying this short on Dame Julie Andrews? ..... YES. #TCMParty

I need to really watch #TheStar more closely the next time it is on the schedule. While I'm half watching it today, Betty Davis appears to be having a ton of fun here. PS: Don't worry about Barbara Lawerence "Maggie", in a few years she'll be fighting off a giant space robot. #TCMParty

Could it be a case where the real-life stories of the cast of #BerlinExpress are more interesting than the film? Not bad in any case. BTW: @eddiemuller.bsky.social is mentioned in the wiki page for the film - and he has a birthday coming up! #TCMParty #NoirAlley

This post-war optimism didn't last long. In fact, it was over by 1948. The ending of #BerlinExpress seems like "alt-history" IMO. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

After all of this gun play on the #BerlinExpress I'll take a plane. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

"There is no peace, but OUR peace." .... that sentiment seems familiar. 🙄 #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BerlinExpress

Given the difficulties of filming in post-war Berlin, Lucien Ballard's cinematography is very good. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

The existence of two *one of kind* items is always a drag. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Charles McGraw!!!! .... All we need now is Marie Windsor to make an appearance. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BerlinExpress

So far, I'm really digging Paul Stewart's narration. 👍 #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Forget the dead guy's body, find the sandwiches he claimed to have. 🧐 #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

I'm sure the fact that the train whistle goes off before the individual in "compartment G" could be Id' by the narrator will come into play. #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Harry Lime is involved in this somehow. I just know it! 🧐 #BerlinExpress #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Good morning fellow NOIR fans. #BerlinExpress is a new one for me .... ... so, let's have a look shall we. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Thanks everyone for another great viewing of #TheThirdMan. And a special note of thanks to #TCMParty for hosting tonight.
