♥️OLD MOVIES! ...you might consider muting #TCMParty. If you're not going to tweet about Chester Morris I am—clearly one of us has to.

Kind of an unusual(?) poster for Warner Bros' Private Detective 62 (1933), with William Powell and Margaret Lindsay, that looks more like a painting than a poster.

When the U.S. joined WWI, Chester Morris was 16 and aching to enlist but his parents wouldn't sign off. Apparently he went to the mayor for help and was made a sergeant in his local homeguard instead.
During WWII, he worked steadily and still managed to do around 380 USO shows performing magic.

In Canada, we're getting #MadamSatan (1930) instead of BUtterfield 8 (1960)...
Not only is she my preferred "party girl" in this case, there's an entire zeppelin full of party girls! #TCMParty

Even more beautiful is the full shot, taken by Ted Allen... they look so small on the crowded busy set.

I missed the TCMParty fun during TCM's Ronald Colman marathon last night, so here's a photo I've been meaning to share for a long time. It's a stunning candid still of Colman and Isabel Jewell relaxing thoughtfully between takes of their final scenes on the set of A Tale of Two Cities (1935).

I LOVE this illustrated Belgian poster
(14.5"x21.5") for Corsair (1931), released there in the 40s. Even cooler, it was printed on the back of an old map due to wartime paper shortages. I wish they'd shown the reverse! (It sold on emovieposter.com in 2019–before I started collecting–for only $54.😭)

Omg, I mean Warner Brothers, not MGM.

Melvyn Douglas and Ernest Thesiger in

were playing it on TCM this Halloween
but many of you can find it on Kanopy!

#HeatLightning and now #ThreeOnAMatch, Mervyn LeRoy sure had a way with a pre-code!
(And he was so cute back then too. Look at him here with Chester Morris and LeRoy's mother on the set of Playing Around, 1930) #TCMParty
