Regi Allen (Carole Lombard) is a hardworking, cynical hotel manicurist who has decided to escape poverty by marrying a wealthy man. She meets her potential meal ticket in wheel chair bound Allen Macklyn (Ralph Bellamy). #TCMParty
Here for tonight's Carole Lombard 30s triple bill - #LoveBeforeBreakfast (which I haven't seen), #HandsAcrosstheTable (which is a great screwball), and #Virtue (which is a not-bad melodrama) I love Carole! #TCMParty
Happy Birthday Carole Lombard 🎂

Also note the similarity of the shot above from #ComingHome to the shot below from #HandsAcrossTheTable. I had forgotten about the above scene! I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting too (or haven’t seen). #WheelchairsInClassicFilm #DisabilityReclaimed #TCMParty
Now, here’s something I don’t recall ever having seen in a classic film before! Shot from a low angle, an adult character sits on the floor next to the wheelchair user, who looks DOWN to converse for once! #HandsAcrossTheTable #DisabilityInFilm #TCMParty #WheelchairsInClassicFilm

Notice that Ralph Bellamy’s character seems to exist only at home. We haven’t seen him anywhere else. That’s true of so many disabled characters in classic film, even when there’s no indication of illness! #HandsAcrossTheTable #DisabilityInFilm #TCMParty #WheelchairsInClassicFilm
@quoththetweet He and Lombard would get into these laughing fits, and Leisen used them in the film. I’m glad. Lombard laughing like that is like a of spring of pure life force. I love it so much. #HandsAcrossTheTable #TCMParty
Also per Wiki, Lombard and MacMurray were good friends, and they would crack each other up, so the director Leisen kept the camera rolling when ever they had a laugh attack. You see them in the film. #HandsAcrossTheTable #TCMParty
Per Wiki, #HandsAcrossTheTable was Fred MacMurray’s first big ticket attempt at comedy. Lombard sat on his chest and threatened to pluck out his eyebrows if he wasn’t funny enough. #TCMParty

Fun fact: 'Mac' comes back much later after Regi dies giving birth to Chip. He takes care of Mike, Robbie, and Chip.
Uncle Charlie stumbled into something he wasn't ready for.

Or, so he thought.
Get a load of the back of that wheelchair! #HandsAcrossTheTable #DisabilityInFilm #TCMParty #WheelchairsInClassicFilm
#HandsAcrossTheTable came out only two months after #AliceAdams, which has my all-time favorite Fred MacMurray performance. He was in 7 movies in 1935! #TCMParty
Ralph Bellamy has quite a fancy wheelchair in #HandsAcrossTheTable! #DisabilityInFilm #TCMParty #WheelchairsInClassicFilm
