Now Watching on YouTube: In 1936 Terrence Rattigan had his 1st big hit play, French Without Tears. It ran for over 1000 performances. 4 years later it was made into a movie starring a very yummy Ray Milland. Credits list David Lean as the film’s Supervising Editor. youtu.be/m3ZhLcRpxZc?...

Watching Noel I can’t help but wish that Ivor Novello (Coward’s contemporary & friendly rival in the musical theatre)had lived long enough to have made another movie or two in his later years. #tcmparty

This cast is really remarkable. #tcmparty

I love Noel Coward. #tcmparty

I love listening to Guinness’ voice. Same with Coward. #tcmparty

Harry could use some penicillin romping around in the sewer water. #tcmparty

TCM should have a Sewer theme one night. #tcmparty

Love is blind. #tcmparty

I’m a Capricorn, I would have sold Lime down the river in a minute. #tcmparty

I do understand Anne’s loyalty to Harry. She survived the inhumanity & deprivations of the war and Harry was good to her. Sort of like an abused child who responds to kindness. But he’s still a mental case. I could see Robert Walker as Lime. #tcmparty

The smirk of jovial perversity #tcmparty

Joseph Cotton is too adorable. #tcmparty

Welles did a radio show about Harry Lime where the character was resurrected as a world traveling adventurer and not the black market profiteer. #tcmparty youtu.be/CQiFLX3UoQU?...

Yeah, Harry Lime would fit right into today’s world. #tcmparty

“WAS” not wax

Another white cockatoo. Wax that a tip of the hat to Citizen Kane? #tcmparty

Oh! Our Man in Havana is next! Love that movie! Alec Guinness & Noel Coward are great. #tcmparty

Stupid American #tcmparty

Harry is ultimately revealed to be a piece of shit, so it baffles me that these two loved him so much. #tcmparty

I always confuse Alida Valli w/Marta Toren (below) #tcmparty

I really want a late middle-aged Englishman for my very own. #tcmparty

Trevor Howard in a leather trenchcoat… yes, please! #tcmparty

He walked so that Howdy Doody could run or something like that.

My sister just called to tell me that her husband hasn’t been receiving her texts & could I help her? I said how about just talking to him? She said that it’s easier to text. I said he must have blocked you. She said NEVER! I said look at his phone. I heard him say DAMN! The line went dead.

Want some satisfying Saturday afternoon cattiness? This is a fun channel dedicated to Best Actress winners & nominees. He looks at various years & does videos on each nominee. This episode is about the 1941 Best Actress race & the sisters DeHaviland(Fontaine). youtu.be/4g6dK5zijNY?...

Gee Whiz, Dear Leader… don’t forget Judge Crater, the Lindbergh Baby and my cousin’s 1st husband who went out for a newspaper one night & never came back.

Oh, sad day …

Gov’t shutdown? Huh? Gee Whiz, Dear Leader… don’t forget Judge Crater, the Lindbergh Baby and my cousin’s 1st husband who went out for a newspaper one night & never came back.

I bought some sweet onions from a Farmer’s Market today that are so delicious I ate 2 like they were apples.

I’ve been obsessed with George Gershwin since I was a kid & Dad would play his tunes on the piano. (It’s a wonderful thing to grow up w/a piano in the house). GG’s concert works were my lullabys. I read everything I could & can still cry over his tortured final days. Happy Heavenly Birthday!

I love this Pre-Code reworking of Vanity Fair. It was alternately titled “Indecent”. Myrna is always fascinating & Conway Tearle not so much. This would make a fun triple feature with Baby Face & RedHeaded Woman. #tcmparty

RIP Henry Jaglom! Indie filmmaker and actor but perhaps best known online as the other side of this conversation.

We’re getting Fran Jeffries complete film oeuvre this week. She eventually married the Director of this film, RichardQuine, after divorcing Dick Haymes in 1965. #tcmparty

Judy Garland’s favorite actor was a Robert Donat, not Gable despite the song. At her 18th birthday party the doorbell rang, Judy was told to open it & there stood Donat with a big bow on his head. I love that story. #tcmparty

A year before his death, the artist Howard Pyle set off for Italy, leaving unfinished on his Delaware easel his final painting *The Mermaid* — a profoundly haunting work of art: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/pyle-mermaid

The actor playing Paul Beaumont is Griffith Jones, father of actress Gemma Jones. She played Emma Thompson’s mother in Sense & Sensibility and was the star of the UK miniseries The Duchess of Duke Street. #tcmparty

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

There have been studies that “geriatric” sperm could be a contributing factor.
