TCM Party watches Blithe Spirit (1945)

About the "knack" of bicycling and those awful hills. There's some definite life advice here: "That's knack again. Down with the head, up with the heart, and you're over the top in a flash and skimming down the other side like a dragonfly!" ~Madame Arcati #BlitheSpirit #TCMParty

A very nice lineup on TCM starting in about two hours: "Now, Voyager"; "I Know Where I'm Going"; and "Blithe Spirit." Might be around for some or all of that. #TCMParty

Often scenes on water can be kind of dull, but they do some an impressive job at making this boat ride so menacing and taxing. The shots of the massive whirlpool is straight nightmare fuel. #tcmparty #iknowwhereimgoing

Man... how could anyone with eyes and ears NOT fall hopelessly in love with Roger Livesey? 😍 #IKnowWhereImGoing #TCMParty

I love James Mason, but he would have been wrong for #IKnowWhereImGoing; this was made for Roger Livesey. #TCMParty

I too am getting ready to camp out but I’m going to miss ‘Blithe Spirit’ as I’m going to see ‘The Birdcage’ on the big screen with number 1 niece. #TCMParty

When that dress goes, everyone knows the jig is up. #TCMSummerRomance #TCMParty #IKnowWhereImGoing

"Experience has taught me to be wary of concoctions." #BlitheSpirit #TCMParty

I think putting Margaret Rutherford in that puffy sleeved dress is what really knocked her out. 🤭 #BlitheSpirit #TCMParty

I think I’m a bit psychic. Or is that psychotic? #tcmparty

if one saw this in the theater would the lack of subtitles flatten it out some #TCMParty

Great story about Noel Coward. He was at QE II's coronation and the big Queen of Tonga drove by with a servant in the carriage. A person asked him who she was and Coward told him. Then he asked who the servant was and Coward said "It's her lunch" #TCMParty #BlitheSpirit
