Love The Devil Doll (1936). Such a bizarre story with a great cast and Tod Browning at the helm. I wonder how he survived at MGM for years, sure did not fit LB Mayer's famil values/apple pie Andy Hardy Americana movie mold.🤔 #TCMParty

Started watching Gilmore Girls few months ago and getting close to season 3 finale. Can't believe I did not watch this show back in the day, it's so the type of show I would love but for some reasons I was annoyed by it. 😶But I LOVE it now.😍 A perfect escape! #GilmoreGirls

It's fascinating to watch a 1950s tv play in 2025 and even more special cause it features James Dean! Thanks @tcmtv.bsky.social #TCMParty #LifeSentence

Do we ever talk about how hot Doris Day is in #TheGlassBottimBoat? Feels like there was a deliberate effort to sex her up, the whole mermaid thing, certain outfits, scenes and poses. It certainly worked! #TCMParty
