Bosley Crowther of @nytimes.com named HER CARDBOARD LOVER as one of 1942’s worst movies. Poor Norma Shearer, selecting this nonsense over NOW, VOYAGER and MRS. MINIVER.

Speaking as someone who had a lengthy relationship with a pathological liar, I can say AUTUMN LEAVES is much more accurate than I would have imagined. Cliff Robertson is absolutely nailing it. #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

FOUL PLAY was offered to Farrah Fawcett — and the offer was quickly withdrawn when Spelling-Goldberg threatened to sue if Paramount hired her. Farrah had just broken her CHARLIE’S ANGELS contract. #TCMparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

It does have one big theme song, but isn’t it a bit of a stretch to call MAHOGANY a “musical”? #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social
