I wish I saw #theMortalStorm
Maybe in honor of the Jan 6th Insurrection anniversary #ToBeOrNotToBe #StormWarning #TCMParty #TheMortalStorm
#TheMortalStorm is one of the most important (and least known, unfortunately) films to come out of pre-war Hollywood. #TCMParty
I’m digging the antifa programming today #TCMParty #TheMortalStorm

This book burning scene is always grim, but today it feels especially disgusting #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
#TheMortalStorm a powerful 1938 anti-Nazi novel that depicts a German family torn apart by the rise of Hitler's regime, focusing on the struggle of its protagonist against fascism and antisemitism. The book became a significant early warning against #Nazism.

#TheMortalStorm is so good. #TCMParty
western masterpiece THE NAKED SPUR, and finally Stewart portrays a Western settler in the all-star epic HOW THE WEST WAS WON.

Frank Borzage’s The Mortal Storm (1940) depicts the moment when fascists seize power. It is essential viewing.
In this episode, we look at how fascism fractures families, rewrites daily life, and roots itself in culture through fear and silence.
I got this one on my Dvr. But watched #TheMortalStorm instead. I watched #AWalkintheSun a few weeks ago. Too much for me to watch again tonite. Looking forward to #NoirAlley #TCMParty
I only caught the last few minutes of #TheMortalStorm and it has touched me…
#TCMParty
And honestly, #TheShopAroundTheCorner might be the best one. #TheMortalStorm is a bit too straightforward for me. The army one looked okay. #TCMParty
They’re going to send her brothers to do the killing, aren’t they. #TheMortalStorm
Aww, his mama marrying them😭😭😭

‘ I believe that peace is better than war ‘
In a long list of fine performances, this near the top of James Stewart’s filmography. #TheMortalStorm
#TCMParty
I recorded it - headed out tonite to the local theater. Have fun kids! #TCMParty #TheMortalStorm
Watching #TheMortalStorm on #TCM. I’d recorded the last time it was on (back in December or January?) but deleted for DVR space. Seeing Robert Young with very nearly the Nazi haircut is 😬… But Jimmy Stewart will prevail, I trust. My second anti-Nazi propaganda film of the day! #TCMParty
I wish everyone would watch #TheMortalStorm at least once. And take notes

The opening of #TheMortalStorm goes hard. #TCMParty

Austria meant freedom...but it wouldn't be free for very long. #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
I've borrowed the novel #TheMortalStorm is based on from @qplnyc.bsky.social. It'll be interesting to see how the print version compares to the film adaptation
#TCMParty
Hmm, Ward Bond cast as a Nazi? Whodathunk it?
#TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
It's pretty obvious that James Stewart didn't have to do much acting when he had love scenes with Margaret Sullavan.

Not after Mr. Matuschek went to the cooler #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
In James Stewart's place, I might have to take Maria Ouspenskaya's advice; she knows a lot about werewolves and stuff, after all. #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
Just as I in an alternate timeline live halfway across the world in a tiny mint-green trailer making hot fruit tea, eating steamed eggs, and watching Spongebob cartoons. #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
Ward Bond portraying a nasty right wing anti-Semite? Probably not much of a stretch. #TheMortalStorm #TCMParty
