"Will you do something for me before I go away?"
"It depends."
"I want you to kiss me."
She's barely finished the sentence before he's putting down his valise to lay one on her.
"Always the little lady, doing the right thing."
"I"m sorry, I can't change myself."
"You're all right as you are."

I have recommended #IKnowWhereImGoing to multiple people by saying, "It's like a classic Hallmark Movie plot, but really really good."

Closed captions strike again: it should be "bail" not "bale"

I love that Torquil, a naval officer, ducks an incoming wave and lets Joan take it square in the face

"You're the maid for me."
*SIGNIFICANT EYE CONTACT*

I wish I knew what this female soloist is singing. Can anyone name the tune?

I was going to recommend that too!

I'm fascinated by how Mrs. Robinson's hands droop. What a great way to convey, "This is an entirely useless human being."

I believe those are Michael Powell's dogs Joan is making friends with

The actor who voices Sir Robert, Norman Shelley, was only in his early 40s at the time so he's playing older than his real age
#IKnowWhereImGoing #BFIFilmArchive #TCMParty
Ah, the long, proud tradition of locals talking shit about the tourists

I love how the curse of Moy Castle initially seems like just a bit of local color, and then it turns out to be a load-bearing plot element

The hand touch as he returns her cigarette...π³

"What do you young chaps know about girls?"
"Nothing, not a thing."
"Then you know as much as I do."

Col. Branstaple is played by Captain C.W.R Knight. This is his only acting credit, but he's credited as a falconer/animal supplier/animal trainer on three other Michael Powell films

The way Joan's face shutters for a moment after her father says, "Bellinger must be nearly as old as I am."

A tasteful murder?

Man, this murder and ransacking sequence is *brutal*

"Life Goes On"
I bought #Piccadilly on blu-ray, and as a special feature it has an opening scene with spoken dialogue which reveals what became of Valentine that was added for a re-release in the talkie era
#BFIFilmArchive #TCMParty
I'm pretty sure that in real life Anna May Wong could take this guy in a fair fight
#Piccadilly #BFIFilmArchive #TCMParty
The first time I saw #Piccadilly, the friend I went with and I were both super disappointed that Shosho didn't end up taking over the club and/or somehow destroying Valentine

"You want me to give back what you couldn't keep!"
