I cannot imagine.
If I suddenly was wealthy (ala #MrDeedsGoestoTown) I'd go for a personal chef!
What is the psychology behind him eating those same foods over and over?
I’m a doodling, nail biting, knuckle cracker myself. #Pixelated #JeanArthur #TCMParty #GaryCooper #MrDeedsGoesToTown
His silence reminds me of the original Miracle on 34th Street where Kringle won't defend himself either. Or, I should say, that reminds me of this film. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
The little old ladies from Mandrake Falls who call Deeds "pixilated" are amusing.

John Wray, the man who broke into Deed's mansion with a gun, also did a great job as "The Frog", part of a tight gang of conmen (+woman) headed by Chester Morris in The Miracle Man (1932). Seen here on the far left, next to Ned Sparks, then Sylvia Sidney, then Chester. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
Why… that sounds like a Hallmark Christmas movie. 🍿 #TCMParty #MrDeedsGoesToTown

I want to have dinner at an Italian restaurant in a classic movie. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
Per Wiki, Jean Arthur famously said that she would rather have her throat slit than give an interview.

Lionel Stander: DIS IS MAAAA BOWWSSSSSS
#TCMParty #MrDeedsGoesToTown
I remember when Lionel Stander was on Hart To Hart. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
I forget that this is one of those movies where the performers are charming but Capra’s straw man arguments chafe my nerves. #TCMParty #MrDeedsGoesToTown

I love Corny Cobb.

Jean Arthur was so beautiful. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
I really want to do some research on Gary Cooper. He’s so dang handsome I’m sure people were bonkers for him. That era had to be peak popularity for baby Garys … which includes my dad. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
My first film watch of 2026! #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
Gary Cooper AND Jean Arthur?? This is my kind of start to a new year. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
Happy New Year everyone! I can't think of any better way to spend the first evening of 2026 than with one of my favorite actresses, Jean Arthur, in one of my favorite films of hers. #MrDeedsGoesToTown #TCMParty
Since I was up until 2am, #MrDeedsGoesToTown will be it for me tonight. Glad TCM put the Gary Cooper/Jean Arthur movie first.

MOVIE QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Just because I want to give this money to people who need it, they think I'm crazy.”
Gary Cooper in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town

#GaryCooper was an actor I only recently learned about. #MrDeedsGoestoTown was my real introduction. Cooper’s silent hero and everyman persona along with his unique cadence in speech made me a fan. From westerns to war heros and just plain upright citizens Cooper gives us characters to aspire to.
