April 26 2013 was one of the most memorable events I’ve attended at #TCMFF. Robert Osborne and #EvaMarieSaint. You can see me in the first row! She showed off her still shapely legs. Rest well. #RIP #TCMParty

I always get a kick seeing Charley Grapewin in a white-collar role #LibeledLady #TCMParty

Kissing Gouramis 3 for $1.17! Such a deal! But what does the third wheel do with its time?

Because it’s her day and her month, too - here’s a long interview of #MyrnaLoy by Dick Cavett from 1980 that is sheer heaven. Look how gorgeous she is here! And smart, sharp, expressive and a real lady. One of the great ones. #TCMParty

Up next: #TheShowOfShows which is like a creaky, animated cave painting. With the ghastly Frank Fay (the 1st Mr Barbara Stanwyck). Best bits IMO: Beatrice Lillie and "Meet My Sister" (which I have seen in Technicolor!). #TCMParty

I think there was a leg or two amputated as well. And so many devoted animal couples were widowed! (OK, I made up the last part.)

(Though seeing George O'Brien scantily clad in NOAH'S ARK earlier really did get the motor running on a Monday morning.) #TCMParty

Given the crappy crap First National Pictures put her in at the start, I'm even more impressed that she hung in, rose above it, and turned into the really terrific actress that she was. #TheGreatDivide #TCMParty

Myrna Loy as a heavily accented Gypsy in a combed-with-a-fork fright wig is really something. #TheSquall #TCMParty

My go-to place for the unusual ingredients? Sprouts. I don’t do a lot of regular shopping there - it’s a bit too granola-crunchy for me - but their bulk foods aisles are superb. I needed hyssop for a recipe once, and they had it. Whole Foods is not only overpriced, their customers are assholes.

Ahh yes… Monty Python’s “Killer Joke”! “Two peanuts were walking down the Strasse… and one was assaulted”

It went on just a smidge too long but #Loophole was unexpectedly entertaining. #TCMParty #NoirAlley

Oh I know. Most of them came from Philadelphia when SEPTA scrapped or updated their trolley lines. Repainted in legacy transit system colors. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I can’t wait for a JEOPARDY! Category named “Noir By The Numbers” and the $2000 answer is “$49,900”. #Loophole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Last time I needed a notary was my last refi in 2019. The mortgage guy CAME TO MY HOUSE and was also a notary. It was all signed and sealed in about 7 minutes. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I get much more value from them by keeping them on my person and displaying them upon request! #TCMParty #NoirAlley

If I were a small business I’d have a bank for receipts. But as an individual I’m pretty much all electronic. One ATM withdrawal lasts me 2-3 months 🤷🏻‍♂️ Deposits, bill pay, wires, everything is electronic. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

As I watch these opening scenes of #Loophole I realize… I haven’t been inside a bank in like 10-12 years? Except for outdoor ATM access abroad. What are bank branches for, anyway? #NoirAlley #TCMParty

That poster was designed by the great Austrian (came to the US) graphic artist Joseph Binder. He also designed one of the main posters for the NY World’s Fair 1939. Plus one I own from 1926.

Jerry Wald was kinda Joan’s Svengali, managing her work at Warners starting with MILDRED PIERCE and continuing after he went independent. #QueenBee #TCMParty (More like her Svengoolie in this film)
