Robinson was a famed art connoisseur in real life. #tcmparty

Because of copyright-renewal issues, this film became widely available in the public domain, helping later generations discover it on television and home video. #TCMParty #ScarletStreet ^JW #SummerOfDarkness

TCM’s Summer of Darkness resumes tonight with a nice sampling of everything Old Hollywood did right—and sometimes wrong—with noir endings. NIGHTMARE ALLEY softens its source novel’s finale, SCARLET STREET stays wonderfully bleak, and THE KILLERS ends with a joke. All great films, though. #TCMParty

Always remember seeing him review movies on the Today Show. Rest Well Gene Shalit. #TCMParty #Cultshelf

So the classic #Yiddish definition goes like this: A schlemiel is a man who goes through life spilling soup, and a schlimazel is the guy upon whom he spills it. By that measure, Eddie G’s “Chris” qualifies as both schlemiel AND schlimazel. #ScarletStreet #SummerOfDarkness #TCMParty

Chris is forever a damaged man. Kitty and Johnny’s deaths. That damn painting. The guilt. #TCMparty #ScarletStreet #SummerofDarkness

I never hear anything about insurance investigators except in films noir, where they seem to be legion. They are apparently a handy screenwriter stand-in for cops. #TheKillers #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

Of course her name is Kitty. She can claw your eyes out one minute and purr that “you’re not that old” in the next. #TCMParty #ScarletStreet

Side note: if I have learned anything over the last three years of watching TCM more often, it’s how great Edward G. Robinson was (and Myrna Loy). The fact he was never even nominated for an Academy Award is indefensible. #TCMParty
