I wasn't sure, but imdb made it seem like she was; but maybe the real singer is just uncredited?
Kay apparently sings in "Manderlay" but it's been awhile since I've seen it. I don't remember what her singing was like.
Is #KayFrancis doing her own singing in #Confession? #TCMParty
Clark Gable's stand-in could also be William Holden's!
If you watch his early movies, like "Too Many Girls" where he and Lucy met, I think you can see his physical appeal (at least I do). Even in the first season or two of I Love Lucy, he is attractive. Unfortunately Desi's smoking and alcoholism aged him prematurely.
The beginning of Virtue is a black screen with just audio. My DVD has the same thing. I believe that censors forced the filmmakers to remove the visuals because the prostitutes looked too happy to be arrested. The picture now seems to be lost and we only have the audio.
I wish TCM would live stream the opening night interview.
That's what we're all thinkin!
I've seen this movie a million times and I love this scene each and every time. It's iconic for a reason. #Casablanca #TCMParty #classicfilm

I just can’t with this dress that #GingerRogers is wearing. It looks like it has human hair on the front. #WeekendattheWaldorf. #classicfilm
#NowWatching #WeekendattheWaldorf because I just saw #GrandHotel for the first time a few weeks ago. This movie has #XavierCugat who was memorably Ricky Ricardo’s unseen nemesis #classicfilm
The Medford Man's plight in #ViceSquad is very similar to an episode of The Simpsons where Bart skips school and witnesses a crime. Mayor Quimby's nephew, Freddy aka CHOWDAH, is blamed. If Bart testifies to save Freddy, then Principal Skinner will know he skipped school. #TCMParty #classicfilm
She could do WAY better than the Medford Man.
I've never watched a #SuperBowl halftime show with such wild camera work. It's like they're inside a music video. I'm happy to have seen Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga singing with #BadBunny.
I didn't know that the #SuperBowl commercials would be so Backstreet Boys-intensive.
I’ll have to watch my past Noir Alley recordings to fill the void. Why does Noir Alley have to take a hiatus? Aren’t there Oscar nominated/winning film noir?
The Medford Man got himself into a lot of trouble in #ViceSquad1953. I love #PauletteGoddard. She doesn’t pop up on @tcmtv.bsky.social often. #tcmparty
Yes. The character limit kept me from listing everything. I love how much Verna Felton wants William Holden to take off his shirt. And how OLD is her mother?
Yes. Arthur O'Connell. Poor Howard. I wonder how his and Rosemary's marriage turned out? She was just so desperate.
No. He's definitely no 26. I wouldn't even believe him being 37, except that is Holden's age in the film. He looks older though. His age doesn't really bother me though, because he works as the drifter from the wrong side of the tracks. Just like AHNdrea and Van Nuys.
I love the #Picnic poster. It looks like the cover of a tawdry romance novel. The DVD cover makes me laugh too. #TCMParty
I love #Picnic. It has all of the overwrought melodrama that I love in a 1950s movie. It has everything: creepy come-ons, mom begging for her daughter to put out, teen angst, drunken monologues, romance, love triangles... this movie has everything. #TCMParty
She's definitely younger than AHN-drea. William Holden is definitely in the AHN-drea role here in "Picnic." He looks every inch of his 37 years and he's playing someone who is supposed to be a few years out of college.
One of my favorite #BugsBunny shorts, "Hair Raising Hare" is airing tomorrow on @tcm. #TCMParty
"Monsters lead such iiiiiinteresting lives."
The picture of Cecil dressed as a bunny is killing me! LOL!
I hate Morton. He's what? 18? Why is he worrying about camp crafts? Morton might be the most annoying character out of any film I've ever seen. I can't believe he was married to Gloria Grahame. #TheMoretheMerrier #TCMParty
There's no way that #JeanArthur gets her schedule completed in 30 minutes. I love this scene. Why does #CharlesCoburn have to follow it? He doesn't have to be anywhere. Why does Jean put on a robe, a bed jacket, and finally her work clothes when she only has 30 minutes? #TheMoretheMerrier. #TCMParty
This might be the saddest movie ever made.
Happy Birthday to our friend, #MargaretOBrien, who we were so fortunate to meet in September at @hollywoodtheatre.org!
#NowWatching #BlondeCrazy another excellent #precode HONNNNNNEY! #classicfilm
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. LOL.
