I adore movies of the 30's & 40's (occasionally 50's). Especially gritty Warner Bros films. Also a Swiftie 🫢 She/Her

Taylor once said: β€œThe worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something. I don't think you should ever have to apologize for your excitement. Just because something's clichΓ© doesn't mean that it's not something that's awesome.”

I recently watched #RudolphValentino in "The Conquering Power" (1921) and "The Eagle" (1925)- I'd never seen him before, and am so impressed with his charm and pure talent πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ“½οΈ

I've always loved #MargaretLindsay, but seeing her for the first time tonight in "House of the Seven Gables" (1940), I'm awestruck by her talent. What a shame she wasn't given more roles like this! πŸ‘πŸ‘β€πŸŽ₯🎬

Nothing screams Pre-Code film more than a nearly naked, cellophane-wrapped chorus girl with a headdress made of giant teaspoons! From "International House" (1933)

Interviewer: You had this look on your face so often in that movie, kind of fatalism, distant. How did he (William Wellman) do that? Loretta Young: He didn’t. I did. Midnight Mary (1933) #SummerUnderTheStars

"Three Wise Girls" (1932) is an enjoyable, snappy pre-code starring #MariePrevost, #MaeClark, and #JeanHarlow πŸŽ¬πŸ“½

Hearing that #TCM may be under threat of being cancelled feels like hearing that a dearest friend is in hospital near death. It's truly a devastating feeling. Please, whoever can help, #saveTCM πŸ™β€πŸ“½πŸŽ₯🎬

It's my first time seeing #TheThinMan For some reason, #TCM doesn't seem to air it in Canada. What a classy, hilarious masterpiece! #MyrnaLoy #WilliamPowell

One of my favourite pre-codes, "Five Star Final" (1931), with the great #EdwardGRobinson As much as I loved his gangster roles, I loved him even more in films like this πŸ₯°πŸŽ₯πŸŽ¬πŸ“½ #FiveStarFinal
