50 + years old, and still highly fun and entertaining. Such witty dialogue. Even the supporting cast, which is fantastic btw, has many great lines.

A painful reminder that they don't make witty and fun rom-coms like this anymore.

I’m thinking of Barbara Stanwick and Christmas in Connecticut when Elizabeth says.

“All my life I promised myself a mink coat... I need it!," while Felix insists that "Nobody needs a mink coat but a mink".

The chemistry between Goldie Hawn and Ingrid Bergman is really great and makes this movie fantastic.

I miss record stores in general. They were awesome.

You could buy the album and have it forever, share it with friends and the record store guy always knew the cool shit to turn you onto, sadly, those places are gone forever.

#TCMParty #CactusFlower I love the record stores in old movies where the employees will play the records for you.

This film was written by I.A.L. Diamond, one of Billy Wilder’s frequent collaborators, who also wrote ‘Some Like It Hot’.

In the Broadway show, Lauren Bacall played Ingrid Bergman’s role of Stephanie Dickinson.

The original cast also included Barry Nelson as Julian, and Brenda Vaccaro as Toni.

That would have been a great show to have seen.

Ingrid Bergman was 53 years old in 1969, as she was born on August 29, 1915. Her 54th birthday would have been on August 29, 1969.

She’s beautiful.

Great music in this film.
The main score was composed by the one and only Quincy Jones, who certainly had a talent for giving a particular vibe to films. The same year, he composed the score for The Italian Job.

My mom is a Goldie Hawn superfan, she loves her work and this is one of her all time favorite films. She also turned 80 this year. She’s DVRing tonight’s lineup to watch tomorrow. Long live TCM!

Snowy owls are considered “irruptive” in the Midwest, meaning some years they show up in winter and some years they don’t. This unpredictability is one of the reasons a snowy owl sighting carries such a “once in a lifetime” sense of excitement.

How to piss off 93% of the workforce and build animosity towards coworkers.

They should have all walked off the job en masse when they were told they would have to work for free.
