Unfortunately, TCM *isn't* showing (according to the schedule) the one film that he is most known for now. They didn't broadcast it during the Robert Shaw tribute a while back either. A rights issue probably, but I can always hope for a last-minute miracle. 🙏

#Casablanca was my gateway drug to classic films (and #TCMParty), so I have an especially strong affection for it.
Have a great evening everyone.

BINGO!

The "lessons" and meanings in older films are often profound. Since they couldn't do explosions and car chases (yet), the focus was often on the characters and writing.
PS: I still haven't gotten over "The Sound Of Music", so your student has company.

One of the most iconic scenes in film history folks.
... and boy do I feel it these days.

Could be. IIRC, Diana Rigg's parrot lived a long time. In fact, it had a role in the 1981 Bond film "For Your Eyes Only."

😂

I've always wondered what happened to that parrot. 🧐
#Casablanca
#TCMParty

Yet somehow underrated whenever #Casablanca is discussed.
In addition to the acting and the script, the technical aspects are first rate as well.

"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."
THAT Line has been referenced in so much of pop-culture that it's nice to be remind people of the source.
#Casablanca
#TCMParty

One of the things that I fine mind-blowing about #Casablanca is that this was filmed near the beginning of WW2. The outcome was no certain thing.

I live in "one of those sections in New York." And Rick in 100% correct, we would have these Nazis for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and a bed-time snack as well).

🎵 Knock on Wood! 🎵
.... all of a sudden, I have a headache from hitting my head.

"Do You know you I am?"
"I do! You're lucky the bar is open to you!" 😂
The script for #Casablanca is uniformly great from beginning to end.
#TCMParty

That has never occurred to me, but now that I think about it ....
yeah. Excellent point.

#Casablanca ?
Is it any good? Sounds like one of those art-house films. 😂

One of my personal favorites (post lunar EVA) - The look of "achievement and relief" (a job well done). 👏
When I think about Apollo, I like to bookend this photo with that of Gene Cernan after the 3rd (and final) EVA.

The books she hides from Mother!

Watching on and off today/ tonight. 😞
Hot Take: In a way #NowVoyager is just as romantic and just as much about sacrifice as #Casablanca (and equally well casted). I love them both BTW.

#BOTD the great Louis Armstrong (Aug 4, 1901).
007 fans also know that "Satchmo" gave us "We Have All The Time In The World" - been listening to the newly released alt version nearly non-stop for a couple of weeks now. Written by John Barry and Hal David it was among his final recordings.

... or people that run out of toilet paper and don't mind a little roughness. 😜
I haven't bought a copy of that rag in over 20 years.

A good point. Well played. 👏

"The Village" is a strange place. One moment all is peaceful, the next ...
not so much. There used to be many music stores there so I would go after school for those rare vinyl imports! Today, with high real estate prices, it is mostly like any other neighborhood.
#TCMParty

That's it for me. Thanks again to everyone for making this viewing of #BreakfastAtTiffany's another winner.
#TCMParty

😂

Personal note: several years ago on a 007 discussion forum, someone listed #BreakfastAtTiffany’s as a film noir.
Me:
Maybe if Holly had shot the cat with a 38 and the entire film told as a flashback we could. I can see it now: the rain-soaked streets, the back alley…and a dead kitty cat.
#TCMParty

WOW. Paul speaking words of wisdom (and no not *that* Paul).
