I collect #Vinyl. I’d lose my mind if I found one of my records in pieces like that. Omg!! 😳 #SilentSundayNight #PeopleOnSunday #TCMParty

I must admit, especially after recent travels to Nuremberg, I'm drawn to anything, even innocuous films like #PeopleonSunday from 1930 Weimar Germany, to try to find common threads with our current circumstances.

I’m sorry, we can play cards, that’s alright. But we are not sharing a beer. Nope! I’m good. #SilentSundayNight #PeopleOnSunday #TCMParty

Odd to say, but the music even sounds like Sunday. #SilentSundayNight #PeopleOnSunday #TCMParty

These successively closer high-angle shots of the couple in #PeopleOnSunday are almost voyeuristic, and I'm sure that's no coincidence. #TCMParty #SilentSundayNights

What a crew. #TCMParty #SilentSunday #PeopleOnSunday

A frolicsome double date at the lake, this love letter to late Weimar Berlin still dazzles audiences around the globe.
