The Killing airs as part of TCM's 'Summer of Darkness'

I always post this quote from John Huston whenever an Elisha Cook, Jr. film is on #TCM, and it always gets a great response. I think a lot of us dream of Mr. Cook's kind of life. #TheKilling #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

Stanley Kubrick was a master at single-source lighting. He'd make sure you could see the light and work his entire lighting set-up to compliment that source. That added to the hyper-realism of #TheKilling #SummerOfDarkness #TCMParty with motivated lighting

It's been a while since I've watched #TheProwler but IIRC somewhere "nine-month math" becomes a major plot point. #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

Let's do the math. They've been married one day and she's 4 months pregnant. #TheProwler #TCMParty #SummerofDarkness

This where they filmed Jack Nicholson killing the whole neighborhood and swimming in blood

another one bites the dust going up the hill in a noir. #TheProwler #TCMParty

Much like Sterling's fedora, the plan 'bout to flip sideways #TheKilling #TCMParty

"Sunset Boulevard" is the greatest film about Hollywood -and its rampant cruelty -ever made.From the acting from Swanson,Holden,von Stroheim to Wilder's direction to its superb screenplay,it exemplifies the sometimes overused word "classic".It is timeless #tcmparty #SunsetBoulevard #SummerOfDarkness

Back when MGM could unironically say “No man is smart enough to outsmart the law.” <Sigh> #CrimeDoesNotPay #TCMParty

"Hi, I'm Van Heflin, you may remember me from such films as..." #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

The way that Mary Windsor drags Elisha Cook, Jr. throughout this movie is NUTS! #TheKilling #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness

Magnani's is one of those "She* earned every fucking ounce of that Oscar" performances. Like, who can quibble? *Or he, as the case may be. #TCMParty #TheRoseTattoo
