Hat expert to the rescue! In case anyone was wondering about that silly hat W.R. is wearing in the original clip.
Hat expert to the rescue! In case anyone was wondering about that silly hat W.R. is wearing in the original clip.
Another favorite for W.R. Hearst’s birthday. I’m so glad we got this one in the book. This was in a collection of keepsake photos sent to Julia Morgan while Marion and Hearst were in Europe.
For Hearst’s birthday today, here is a short clip—one of my favorite moments from the footage in my collection. Marion Davies and Dorothy Mackaill teach Hearst a dance while on vacation in Spain.
Thank you, Carl!
This moment goes far beyond two old pros playing a scene. #TCMParty #GuessWhosComingToDinner
I’ve just discovered that the audiobook of CAPTAIN has an hour-long preview on YouTube. If you haven’t listened to it yet, you can hear me reading the beginning of Marion Davies’s life here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ghTrCu… #TCMParty
Few movies have gotten to me emotionally like #KramervsKramer has and continues to, every time I see it. #TCMParty
The end of an era. @tcm
Here is another Clarence Sinclair Bull photo that has always fascinated me. He was able to capture something in Marion’s eyes that no one else could.
Such a nice sentiment! Thank you so much, and I’m very glad you enjoyed it ❤️

I’m sorry…how is Ann Miller 14? #TCMParty #StageDoor
Upcoming CAPTAIN OF HER SOUL events for late May! May 25: THE PATSY, Retroformat, Redondo Beach Women’s Club May 31: SHOW PEOPLE, Internet Archive, San Francisco Mark your calendars—likely more to come. Image: CAPTAIN’s audiobook, now available digitally and on CD. #TCMParty
Now that the #TCMFF is over and I'm fully recovered, here is my yearly contribution to your #Passover seder. I wait all year to post this. #TCMParty youtube.com/watch?v=Hswevp…
And the fire alarm went off. As @kristenlopez88 and I were JUST DISCUSSING BEFORE THIS FILM, this seems to happen every year at least once when I’m in the Chinese multiplex. #TCMFF
Time for this! My beloved 1994 #LittleWomen with a partial cast reunion on hand. #TCMFF
This is a yearly occurrence with @kristenlopez88. We laughed our way through THE WAY WE WERE, KISS ME KATE, XANADU, and now this.

ONE TAKE. That’s why he’s so sweaty and out of breath and I love the dancers losing it #TCMParty

I found a copy of the John Gilbert bio written by his daughter for only $20! Usually it’s listed at $75-$100! I really thought it would come without a dust jacket or be damaged somehow, but it’s in pretty great condition!
@backlotsfilm It's a farewell moment indeed
I always like to highlight this fact whenever #VictorVictoria is on. Robert Preston was an ally back in 1982. #TCMParty
After playing Toddy in #VictorVictoria Preston was given an award by the Alliance for Gay Artists. In his acceptance speech he said of his performance, “I wanted people to say, ‘Ah, there’s Robert Preston playing a gay; he’s straight of course - or is he?” #TCMParty
@backlotsfilm I love candid footage. Too bad there's no original audio!
@davesikula @GhostGirl1957 @backlotsfilm You're quite possibly right. Pork pie hats are rounded at the crown. Fedoras and homburgs are creased.
@backlotsfilm Yes! Felt that from the the first time I saw that scene. 💙
@susanmifflin @GhostGirl1957 @backlotsfilm I would have called it a wide-brimmed porkpie.
@backlotsfilm Referred back at this pic several long times while reading COHS.
@GhostGirl1957 @backlotsfilm FDR wore fedoras, either by Borsalino or Stetson. WR's looks to be a summer Borsalino either in the homburg or fedora style. They could be worn with the brim down like Bogart and Sinatra or up. I prefer the brim down. 😉
I wrote about LITTLE WOMEN (1994), aka my favorite movie of all time!!!
.@oldfilmsflicker on how she saw herself in Winona Ryder's Jo March, and why you should come out to the @musicboxtheatre for a 30th Anniversary screening of LITTLE WOMEN in 35mm this Sunday. Read: chicagocriticsfilmfestival.com/spotlight/litt…
@backlotsfilm I couldn’t get past needing to know this extremely important information, and I believe the dorky hat is in the Hamburg family
@backlotsfilm Do you happen to know the name of the style of hat WR is wearing? I always thought they were extremely dorky yet somehow they were popular. FDR even wore one.
