♥️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.

Highly recommend the much sassier 1930s film they borrowed this storyline from... See 'Love Is News' (1937) with Tyrone Power and Loretta Young if you get the chance! #SweetRosieOGrady #TCMParty

Looks like Chester Morris has caved to being silly with Jean Harlow on the set of Red-Headed Woman (1932).

Ronald Colman for The Masquerader (1933)
I guess you know it's pre-code because the main character is addicted to drugs. Colman's acting skills are able to carry you through a not-so-believable premise. You can usually find it on YouTube.

Funny story. Last night I saw a video of a high voltage electrical worker almost get hurt and thought, "I feel like seeing Manpower (1941) again.".
Looking at tonight's movies, I noticed Canada 🇨🇦 won't be getting La Vie En Rose (1997) @ 10:30PM ET—but guess what we get instead...?
Yup...

Chester Morris and Wendy Barrie in
Pacific Liner (1939). A tense little drama about an epidemic breaking out on a ship. Has a great cast including Victor McLaglen, Barry Fitzgerald and Alan Hale.

Yes, it's from Corsair! Great choice! That's definitely one of my favourites too! I think it might be @holyspacemonkey.bsky.social's too, she sends it to me randomly to make me smile. I like it so much I keep a cropped version. 🤭

Isn't it great! Sally Eilers here seems to be enjoying it. On the right are the kind of shots you could claim the photographer may have composed to show off his profile. (or maybe they're both?!)
Anyway, I was curious and looking around for myself but thought you might get a kick out of this too! 😄

Remember when Eddie wondered whether Chester or Constance had the idea to add to this scene? Well, I think I know who our nuzzler might be.
Poses similar to these–but that clearly highlight Chester's unique profile–could easily be a photographer's idea. Shots where his profile is obscured however...

I used the Wayback Machine to check the old TCMdb site (which I also remember as superior) and was shocked to find its data came from AFI too! I'm happy the articles all seem available and more accessible. I like being able to search by person and that results include any available Watch Now films.

If The Small Back Room (1949), about a damaged weapons specialist in tense, wartime London, is not noir, it certainly looks and feels like noir. We focus on Powell and Pressburger's Technicolor feasts–but this tense, claustrophobically intimate film is a gem. Incredible performances. #Noirvember

"LADIES prefer brunettes. And one of the favorite dark-and-handsome heroes in Hollywood is Chester Morris. The fact that Chet is a happy husband doesn't still fluttering hearts of the girls out front."

I just checked TCMDB in the Wayback Machine and it looks like a lot of the main data always came from AFI... obviously we miss the extras that didn't, but I thought it was interesting that the data seemed so different. 🤷♀️

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).
