Just a minor disagreement about how much of his former life the main character in #HereComesMrJordan should remember when he ends up in his final new body. Ben was in favor of hitting the viewer over the head with it; Robert said that the more subtle way the film did it was correct. #TCMParty
"Ben is wrong" is an ongoing theme on TCM. 😉
#TCMParty #HereComesMrJordan
In the post-film discussion of #HereComesMrJordan, Ben is wrong and Robert Townsend is right. #TCMParty
What a closing line in #HereComesMrJordan. #TCMParty
Make Robert Townsend a permanent host. Wonderful discussions. #TCMParty #HereComesMrJordan
#HereComesMrJordan has five robes on Joe. A veritable feast of robes! I'm partial to the one with the circles.

Joe is "flying down" to his fight because boxers used to train up in the Catskills when most fights took place in NYC. Even when I was growing up there in the 70s, fighters still trained there; I went to Chuck Wepner's camp before his match with Ali (that inspired ROCKY) #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty
The trouble with #HereComesMrJordan is I really don't like Joe Pendelton. Not a bad guy, but I'm not buying Robert Montgomery.

Years ago I shot an event where Robert Townsend was one of the panelists. I saw him before the event poking around the catering table and decided to approach him to ask about #HollywoodShuffle. He was one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met, just a super cool guy. #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty
I really loved him in #HereComesMrJordan.
Now *that's* customer service! #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty

In this scene, there is a slight riff from #Laura.

Claude Rains making the hard sell. #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty
Lloyd Bridges! #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty
TCM should do an August of only character actors like James Gleason. #HereComesMrJordan #TCMParty

In Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), Robert Montgomery stars as a boxer given a second chance at life in another man’s body, guided by Claude Rains in this witty, heartwarming classic. #HereComesMrJordan #ClassicMovies #MovieNight #Movie
#nowwatching #HereComesMrJordan. Boxer Joe Pendleton dies 50 years too soon due to a heavenly mistake and is given a new life as a millionaire playboy. #robertmontgomery
Even though I don’t believe in this sort of thing I absolutely love these movies.
Pretty much any non-horror movie about life after death is my jam, always has been, not sure why.

Montgomery did a nice job changing his speech and body language once he becomes Murdoch.

Donald McBride is so good. He reminds me of William Frawley

I don't know if Carol Burnett ever spoofed #HereComesMrJordan, but she should have. I'm imagining the Pendleton character going around being shot, drowned, strangled, poisoned at every turn. #TCMParty
