Joan Crawford in yellow robe as Jenny Stewart.
Robert De Niro in blue suit as Jimmy Doyle.
Robert De Niro as Jimmy Doyle & Joan Crawford as Jenny Stewart. Two characters who absolutely deserve each other. Guillermo del Toro, make it happen, please. #NewYorkNewYork #TorchSong #TorchedInNewYork #TCMParty
I remember that vibrating bed! 😸
#tcmparty #torchsong
Really interesting for that time period, too. I don't remember seeing other women in old movies with legs that muscular. She must have worked out a lot.
#tcmparty #torchsong
It bugged me, though, because Blondie really loved him. Jenny just wanted him because she saw him with Blondie (forgot the name, starts with an M?)
I think if this movie ever had a part 2, he would have eventually realized he had loved Blondie all along as well.

That sounds delicious.

Goodbye, Show Biz!
Goodbye, Pose!
Hello, Mommy in maternity clothes!

You ever wish you could reach into the TV, shake their shoulders, and tell them what real love is? I know I do!
#tcmparty #torchsong
I know. Hideous. I'm surprised I had never heard of that scene before. This was my first time actually seeing the movie, and it was great. I always wanted to see it, because the Carol Burnett Show satire of it was so hilarious. But yeah, the blackface was a nasty surprise.

Like many, I loved the Carol Burnett film parodies back then. Even when I hadn't seen the source film beforehand.
The ensemble was so skillful.

This version of "Blue Moon" is sweet, and maybe ahead of its time. This five-piece combo swings, baby!

How could they miss that she looks TERRIBLE in this blackface makeup, even if they thought it was ok to do?!?!! (it wasn't) #TorchSong #TCMParty
All I can think about when I think about
#TorchSong is "...And spoil that line?!"
#TCMParty
Crawford's legs do look AMAZING.

I was hoping Dave Karger knew why Joan Crawford wore black face in #TorchSong #TCMParty

I don't know. After #TorchSong I don't think I can take a chance on another MGM musical from the early 50s......

That movie is like road tar. It gets all up in your brain and you *cannot* get it out of there. We need to establish a post-movie cleansing ritual for it. #TCMParty #TorchSong
#TorchSong is like "But what if instead of giving Margo Channing any humanity we made her sing instead. And blackface." #TCMParty
Sued? I would have gone to the studio, found some wire hangers and poke Joan with them until she goes mad.
