Now Watching: BOMBERS B-52 (1957)

#TCMRemembers actress, humanitarian, and activist Marsha Hunt. One of the last actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Hunt's commitment to social and political causes continued throughout her life. Her work on and off screen remains a beacon of light.

Marsha certainly was much more than an actress. What an incredible woman and an amazing life ❤️

Marsha Hunt telling the absolute truth in SEVEN SWEETHEARTS (1942).

All in all, a nice Fox musical dose to liven this Monday up. #TheGangsAllHere #TCMParty

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

Definitely up there with one of the strangest movie endings. #TheGangsAllHere #TCMParty

A fabulous publicity shot of Alice in that dress. #TheGangsAllHere #TCMParty

40s fashion with Fox technicolor hits different.

@thedameupstairs Agreed! Payne would’ve been excellent in this. #TCMParty

At the very beginning was a little snippet of “Let’s Dance”, a tune Benny Goodman used to open almost all of his performances. Look out for it again in a bit 😉 #TheGangsAllHere #TCMParty

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

Less than an hour until the @tcm premiere of THE GANG'S ALL HERE (1943)!

Carmen Miranda, Alice Faye, Benny Goodman, and more make this Busby Berkeley musical a treat. Be sure to check it out tonight!

1) Chicago (1927)
2) Hands Across The Table (1935)
3) Moon Over Miami (1941)
4) The Very Thought of You (1944)

@sagaofginger I thought Fred had a clause in his will saying that he couldn’t, or at the very least strongly did not want to, be portrayed by someone else.

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

@Kimbo3200 If my memory is correct, I believe it’s from The Human Comedy 🤔

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

@sagaofginger I did not know Mozert painted her 😳 Love it!

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

To expand on Ky’s point, black and white films were made to be black and white films. Whether it be as a result of budgetary constraints, the filmmaker’s choice, etc., the individual films were optimized for black and white. Colorization, in my opinion, degrades the film’s soul.

[Jordan @ShadowsOnScreen]

@sagaofginger omg that looks horrible 🥴

To honor Marsha Hunt's 103rd birthday, here is my recording of her interview with Eddie Muller prior to a screening of NONE SHALL ESCAPE (1944) at the 2018 TCM Classic Film Festival.

As Eddie said before, "This is what human beings should aspire to be.” https://t.co/rDc41vua7b
