Ugh is right. 😔

Yes...I think you're right, I'm afraid that was probably the case. Sighhh. #BlackTuesday #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Still baffles me ..no end..why Edward G. Robinson was never even nominated for an Oscar. #BlackTuesday #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Wow, first time seeing #BlackWidow... it was great! So twisty turny all the way to Ginger Rogers in the end! And I have to say how terrfic George Raft was in it, too. All in all, a great #CreepyCinema & #GeneTierney eve with Ben and Mario that began oh so perfectly with #LeaveHerToHeaven. #TCMParty

"She's not the only one in the house, is she?" And then that slight lean in towards Charles Boyer after she says it...
Angela's marvelous every moment she's on screen here.

"No one gets out alive in this story." Thanks @eddiemuller.bsky.social, GREAT info about #NewYorkConfidential, 'one of the original mob movies.' Loved hearing so much about Richard Conte, never knew he was up for Vito Corleone first!
Can't wait for Eddie G and #BlackTuesday! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

She is one of my absolute favorites. I love seeing her in everything, she is..just brilliant. And boy, can she be funny too..as in 'The Prisoner of Second Avenue'

Yessss..you summed it up perfectly!
And I so agree, great old school filmmaking it is.

That was wacky...creepy and bonkers, but it was great seeing #DieDieMyDarling. Loved the terrific discussion about it and #HeRanAlltheWay with @benmank77.bsky.social and #MarioCantone. Where else could we hear Mario's Shelley Winters & Tallulah Bankhead on the same #CreepyCinema night? 😁🥰

What a perfect ending....and visually stunning as well with James Wong Howe's cinematography. #HeRanAlltheWay #CreepyCinema #TCMParty

Loved getting such fantastic Damon Runyun background from @eddiemuller.bsky.social (including how #TheBigStreet fit into #NoirAlley this week😁). But my favorite part was hearing about Eddie's father "just doing a Damon Runyun" and seeing his 'Damon Runyun Favorites' book! #Runyonesque #TCMParty

Oh no. Just hearing this.
I loved her so. She gave us soooo much joy while she was keeping up appearences. And at 96, what a wonderfuly long life she had.

I've seen it before too and I'm so with you.
The only bright spot is Eddie's great Damon Runyun background that comes with its #NoirAlley appearance. #TheBigStreet

My #CreepyCinema night has been made. Real Bette..and Mario's marvelous Bette. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you @benmank77.bsky.social and #MarioCantone for such a great great intro/outro, discussion and Creepy Cinema theater bits for #AnotherMansPoison #TCMParty #TheHuntforRedOctober
