Everyone’s so brain this. It’s my favorite Poitier & when I fell for Cassevettes. #tcmparty #edgeofthecity

It’s Ruby Dee day on #tcmparty. #EdgeoftheCity is one of my favorite movies too. What a treat.

Ok, it went down white savior territory pretty quickly, but it was probably considered progressive at the time. Not bad, not great. #EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty

Really weird interstitial "We'll be right back" card at a crucial moment. #EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty

Finally finishing this and now I gotta wonder if this is the movie that created the brown guy must die trope #EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty

OMG they're playing salucci and they called it salucci. In the rest of America, it's called keepaway. #EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty

Sidney Poitier's character just gifted Cassavetes a cargo hook exactly like my grandfather's. Getting a little emotional here. #EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty

#EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty Holy crap the job pays less an jour than that 1 minute phone call: $1.71 ($19.25 in 2024)

And Axel has to kick back 25¢ of that to Charlie, which brings it down to $1.46 ($16.42)

Still less than the 2024 living wage of $33.31 in NYC. Barely above the NYC $16 minimum wage.

#EdgeOfTheCity #TCMParty The sign above Davis's desk: "BE WHERE YOU ARE WITH ALL YOUR MIND"

An aphorism not to be surpassed until Buckaroo Bonsai's "Wherever you go, there you are."

Having a delayed viewing #TCMParty over lunch of #EdgeOfTheCity. Cassavetes's character just placed a person-to-person call, night rate, from NYC to Gary IN. $1.80/minute.

That's $20.25/minute in 2024.

Would you pay that much today for a phone call where you are guaranteed to get a named party?

Happy Birthday, Sidney Poitier!
