#SummerUnderTheStars
🚨 Chester Morris on TCM in SEP 🚨
None of his movies aired in August during #SummerUnderTheStars
and I'm sad to say that September will be another dry month.
There are no Chester films this month.
He wants you to keep up hope though.
There, there...

I can't believe #SummerUnderTheStars is almost over for this year. I wish it could go on and on. #TCMParty

Damnit. I wanted to watch Magnificent Obsession, set the reminder, and it didn’t remind. 😑 That’s been happening too often this past week. Thanks for nothing, Bombast!

Another #SummerUndertheStars in the books. This year I went for more off the beaten path films than straight classics, there are so many gems in film history. My four favorites of the month are below. #TCM #SUTS

This one was extra zany, even by screwball comedy standards. Dunne and Melvyn Douglas make a surprisingly goofy pair, in the best way. Loved the coterie of gossip mongers. #SummerUndertheStars #TCM #SUTS

I Remember Mama is just too much for me to cope with right now. #SummerUnderTheStars #TCMParty

The closing bedroom scene was rehearsed more than a dozen times to land on just the right balance of romantic tension and screwball absurdity.

Tricky scene, and those kids handled it beautifully. #TCMParty

During the Lux Radio Theatre version, Dunne quipped, “I hope Cary remembers his lines better this time,” a wink at his set antics.

Grant and Dunne remained close for decades, even rumored at one point to have briefly considered a romance (though both denied it).

Though remembered for Westerns, Scott later said this film was one of his personal favorites because it let him poke fun at himself.

Crew members remembered the courtroom scene as the hardest sequence to shoot because Dunne and Grant kept breaking character. McCarey encouraged them, saying the corpsing energy “felt right” for the comedy.

While the press pushed his “tall, dark, and handsome” persona, crew members said Scott was a bit shy off-camera, often retreating to his dressing room with novels.

Scott, usually cast in Westerns, relished playing a tongue-in-cheek romantic adventurer.

Randolph Scott’s poolside display of athleticism was partly improvised; he had been a collegiate athlete, and Grant egged him on to “show off.”

RKO’s publicity department played up the “battle of the sexes” angle, but gossip writers had more fun hinting about the real-life “Grant & Scott household.”

By 1940, Grant and Scott had been living together off and on in a Santa Monica beach house for years. Gossip columnists gleefully referred to them as Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, fueling persistent speculation about their relationship.

The 1962 remake–with Marilyn Monroe and Dean Martin–was left unfinished due to Monroe’s death.

When SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE (1962) was announced as a remake, Cary Grant declined the male lead, quipping he was “too old to be chased by two wives.”

The courtroom scenes in #MyFavoriteWife are the best I've seen in any screwball comedy - especially the scene near the end of the film (with all the stars lined up before the bench, and the judge delivering advice about what should have been included in the brief). #SummerUnderTheStars #TCMParty

At the time of filming, Grant’s marriage to Barbara Hutton (the Woolworth heiress) was strained, which tabloids contrasted with his flirtatious chemistry with Dunne.
