Love old films and music. Classic (and not so classic).
There are so so many great performances to choose from. Among my many favorites is Jane Greer's "Kathie Moffat" in 1947's OUT OF THE PAST.

Walter Slezak (“The Clock King”, Born to Kill 1947)
Van Johnson ("The Minstrel", The Caine Mutiny 1954)

Eggcellent. 🤓
And Anne Baxter played two villains on the show: Zelda the Great and Olga, Queen of Cossacks. Therefore, she would get a second film. Avoiding the obvious, how about "The Blue Gardenia"?

Sixty years ago (tonight) was the premiere of the Batman TV show, and I’m more convinced than ever that TCM could have a “before they were Batman Villains” month. 🧐
Examples:
David Wayne (“The Mad Hatter”, film: The Three Faces of Eve)
Tallulah Bankhead ("Black Widow", film: Lifeboat)

It occurred to me a while back that Stanwyck is the Stan Musial of actresses (baseball fans may get the analogy). In a career spanning decades, she witnessed significant changes yet she was always on top of her game.

Well Eddie, Stanwyck did do "The Night Walker" in 1964 (which was a pretty good movie BTW)

I agree w/Burr having a day. But only on the condition that I get "Godzilla 1985" out of it. 🤓

The job of a public notary is a tough one!
Seriously, #DOA is really well done - especially as it was a product of one of "poverty row" studios. And I mean - like really well done.

Edmond O'Brien appreciation post.
A fine actor that doesn't get his due IMO. "White Heat", "The Hitch-Hiker", "The Killers" etc.. are all made better by him.

As a child of 60s television, Pamela Britton's smile is hard to forget.

All jokes aside, Ann Savages' performance as Vera in #Detour is one of the greatest in all of noir.

I don't know what anyone else thinks, but this may be the most frightening look in film history!

... and just as predicted, Emmett is "a nothing" without his gun.
I need the Ida Lupino biopic (like right now). ❤️

For those interested, I recommend the book "Godzilla: The First 70 Years" which provides a detailed look at these films and (IMO) is a literal love letter to the art of movie making.
... and now I'm off until our block of noirs.

Our little beauties (the Shobijin) were played by real life twins Emi Ito (1941-2012) and Yumi Itō (1941-2016).

Among the human stars of #MothraVsGodzilla are Yuriko Hoshi (1943-2018), Hiroshi Koizumi (1926-2015), Akira Takarada (1934-2022), and Yū Fujiki (1931-2005).

A *very early* good morning to #TCMParty.
Sadly, I believe that Kenji Sahara is the last cast member of #MothraVsGodzilla that is still with us.

The 4th film in the initial Godzilla series ("The Showa Era") is a classic.

Thanks for the heads up. And since I have Monday off, a mini-Batman marathon would seem to be called for. I wonder what role Jill St. John gets asked about more. Molly or Tiffany Case? 🤓

Nice to see that Dr. Cyclops (Albert Dekker) is part of the gang .

According to the internet, there are 11 separate flashbacks in #TheKillers. I recall reading that the total is really 12 or 12, but I'm not going to count tonight. But others are invited to do so.

And don't forget noir stalwarts Edmond O'Brien and Sam Levene. Not to mention that we get Miklós Rózsa - yet again.👍
