Had no idea about this predecessor of The Parent Trap or about the fact MGM had these twins under contract. Just when I think I know it all and have seen it all, TCM proves me wrong. Thank you @tcmtv.bsky.social ! #TCMParty

Not sure I've seen Sadie McKee (1934) before but it looks interesting so far. Typical Joan, rags-to-riches pre-code MGM fare. #TCMParty

Escaping the life of a domesticity was a common Stanwyck theme in the 1950s: Crime of Passsion (1957), All I Desire (1953), Clash by Night (1952), even Jeopardy (1953) in a way. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #BarbaraStanwyck
