One of the biggest issues with #AliceAdams is that we don't see or learn enough about why Arthur likes Alice. Fred MacMurray is wonderfully charming, but we don't see enough of his initial attraction to justify him forgetting about his fiancé. Why is he drawn to her in the first place? #TCMParty

Katharine Hepburn looks absolutely darling in #AliceAdams (1935, George Stevens) #TCMParty

So I’ve decided to start checking out the Pulitzer Prize winning novels. This one is from 1921, so I really should’ve expected the racism, but still it was jarring. THEN. I watched this film. It’s a pretty faithful adaptation until the completely different ending, wtf. #AliceAdams #BoothTarkington

I'm a bit behind now, had to take a break... That second night he doesn't come by, it's incredibly sad that she feels she has to "pretend" even with her mother.

Strangely, Katharine Hepburn is unbearable and Fred MacMurray is the beautiful rare flower of this story.

Was she just pretending to be blithely racist on both her AND on her brother's behalf so she seems more high class?
JFC...
She's trying so hard I like her less and less every second she's opening her mouth.

I'm glad that party scene is over! It was just too painful to watch...

This is my first time seeing #AliceAdams and awww he just picked up her violets for her! 🥺
Everyone here is so awful I can hardly stand it. I thought the upper class was supposed to have manners to redeem them, if nothing else.

Imagine being so rude and dismissive about "fat" Frank Dowling, he's perfectly sweet. #AliceAdams #TCMParty

.@tcm thinks #AliceAdams is a comedy? To me it's a nail-biting, dread-inducing nightmare that I can't rewatch! 🙀🙀 #TCMParty
