Might go out to the Academy Museum to see La La Land in 35mm since I arrive a little early for #TCMFF. It’s kind of unfair of them to screen The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three in the afternoon the last day of the festival. First world problem. But still… #TCMParty

This is more a concept of a movie than a movie. #InternationalHouse #TCMParty

If #InternationalHouse has not been Pre-Code enough for you so far, wait ’til you hear the Cab Calloway number that’s coming up…

Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre don't sound like countrymen at all. #InternationalHouse #TCMParty

#TCMParty Sterling Holloway!

If you have never heard of her, Peggy Hopkins Joyce was kind of the gold standard of gold diggers. Famous (or infamous) for her lively love life and her lavish lifestyle. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Burns and allen doing their burns and Allen routine

Sounds like the answer to a Jeopardy question. #internationalhouse #TCMParty

I am going to go out on a limb and say there was about as much liquor consumed on the SUCKER set as there was cocaine consumed on the BLUES BROTHERS set. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Always vaguely unsettling to see Margaret Dumont doing something with someone other than the Marx Bros. #TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak

I think she’ll enjoy this game of Squidullum more. #TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak

A Gorilla in the Swiss Alps. That tracks.

#TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak

This should have been shot in Technicolor like the Wizard. #TCMParty

Margaret Dumont cheating on the Marx Brothers. #TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak

"Pull up a chair" like he didn't just literally drop in 😭😭😭 #NeverGiveaSuckerAnEvenBreak #TCMParty

Seems like a nice soft landing. #TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak

I thought I'd be going to sleep soon but just stumbled across this. Guess I'll be up for another hour. #TCMParty #NeverGiveASuckerAnEvenBreak
