My poor Mom. She took us to DOCTOR DOLITTLE and regretted it: “You guys fell asleep! And I was stuck watching the worst movie ever made!” She changed her mind after we dragged her to WILLY WONKA, her new “worst movie”! #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Until I discovered his older movies on Jerry Beck’s ALL-NIGHT THEATER, I believed for years that Fred MacMurray’s entire body of work was Disney comedies and MY THREE SONS. It was quite a jolt! #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Hans Conreid claimed the entire audience walked out before the finale of the 5,000 FINGERS premiere — except for one kid who was waiting for his mother to pick him up. The original cut included nine more musical numbers! #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

I’m reasonably certain THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T is the only movie in history to feature the line, “Come on and dress me up in pretzels.” 🥨 #TCMParty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

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FOUL PLAY was offered to Farrah Fawcett — and the offer was quickly withdrawn when Spelling-Goldberg threatened to sue if Paramount hired her.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
