Poster for East Side, West Side
I know it’s soapy but I love the cast and the Isobel Lennart script is snappy. #EastSideWestSide #TCMParty

I'm sorry but there's no world in which I would believe Barbara Stanwyck hates hockey and James Mason hates poetry. (This movie is an engaging pulpy melodrama but what a weird cast.) #EastSideWestSide #TCMParty

I want to know what attracted Jess to this loser in the first place?

How cute is Cyd Charisse in #EastSideWestSide. Even alongside Ava Gardner and Stanny, she shines #TCMParty

(And then he would have been in a film with Ava, which would have been a whole other kind of interesting.) #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

Knowing the history of anti-Italian prejudice in the U.S., it's just really interesting to see this moment when they were flirting with the IDEA of Italians but keeping them at arm's length.
But just a few years later, I bet they'd have gotten Sinatra. #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

And as I said, when Heflin takes Stany to meet the Italians -- we don't see it
We cut right to them coming out of the building afterwards. #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

Back to Heflin -- it looks like there weren't a ton of Italian-American actors in those days, but they could've had Robert Alda or Don Ameche or someone. (Sinatra and Martin were a little young for it and hadn't yet started doing dramatic roles.) But nope. #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

Cyd Charisse plays an actual Italian character, at least. She's lovely & charming and it's fun to see her in an early role, but she isn't Italian either. (At least the actress playing her grandma is). #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

Getting back to it -- Van Heflin represents the Italians, but he's so obviously non-Italian he has an elaborate backstory about having been found & adopted by an Italian. #DVRTheater #TCMParty #EastSideWestSide

Just got done watching #EastSideWestSide again. I like it, but I find it amusing that Stanwyck going to meet the lower-class Italians is a big plot point, and yet we never see an Italian (except 1 elderly actress who's there for about 3 minutes and says almost nothing). #DVRTheater #TCMParty

If you need a melodramatic score for your melodrama, Miklós Rózsa is your composer.

Sorry to miss the last Stanwyck #SOTM night, #TCMParty, but skating's on. (Recording #EastSideWestSide later, though.) Have fun!

That was a pleasant surprise. Woke up to find I’d forgotten I had set autotune on the DVR to #EastSideWestSide.

THIS SCENE
Where all Van Heflin does is touch her face when he says goodbye...
I will watch the entire movie over just to see these 6 seconds again.
