    Ida Lupino and Bruce Bennett in costume for “The Man I Love” (1947), visited by Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. This strange caption was published in 1948 but the photo must be from summer 1945, when that film was in production. #TCMParty

    Warner Archive released a beautifully restored version of “The Man I Love” on blu-ray a few weeks ago. They found 6 mins that had been cut in the 1950s due to music licensing. This included the song “Bill” by Ida Lupino (dubbed). Highly recommended! #TCMParty

    Ida Lupino 1944, before filming “Pillow To Post”: “I am going to do a gay comedy. I know that’s what the boys overseas want. I’ve played these women with the wrong slant on life for so long I have decided to try and see if I can’t add a little note of laughter to the world.” #tcmparty

    Re-visited “People Will Talk” (1951) after well over a decade — and boy was that an odd mixture of unconnected stories and an entirely unconvincing central romance that still manages to be somewhat enjoyable. Walter Slezak and Margaret Hamilton and Brahms are major contributors to the fun. #OldHollywood #CaryGrant
