True story: Attendees of the New York premiere were mocking Brando's attempt at an English accent so much that Brando walked out of the theatre after only 15 minutes. #MutinyontheBounty #TCMParty
I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It's not that bad. Marlon Brando does a hammy English accent. Trevor Howard was excellent as Captain Bligh. The cinematography and the Tahiti location is spectacular. #TCMParty #MutinyontheBounty
He was originally MGM. Remember Ted Turner purchased the pre-May 1986 MGM/UA film library for content to show on TBS and later on, TCM. #TCMParty
Don't know his name, but he directed Godzilla Minus One #TCMParty
And Gary Lockwood. #TCMParty #2001ASpaceOdyssey
Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood (top and bottom) have lived 25 years past the year date in which #2001ASpaceOdyssey is set, and are approaching 90. #TCMParty
There are several contenders: The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, The Sound of Music, and Mary Poppins. #TCMParty
I agree with this analysis. #WestSideStory filmed several scenes on location in Manhattan that made it feel realistic than the MGM musicals which were filmed on a studio backlot. #TCMParty
I don't consider #GoingMyWay to be a musical. Film historian Jeanine Basinger considers it "a musical nonmusical."
It has singing in it, but it's primarily a Bing Crosby vehicle in which audiences expected him to sing. Take away the five songs heard in it, the story remains the same. #TCMParty
It's hard to believe that by the time #Patton premiered, he had passed away. He didn't look anyway healthy. #TCMParty
Here's a snippet of a speech Patton gave in Los Angeles, following Nazi Germany's surrender for reference in June 1945:

I wholeheartedly agree. Malden's Omar Bradley works as an effective foil to the jingoistic Patton. I'm surprised he was overlooked. #Patton #TCMParty
Not only that, Columbia Pictures rightfully added Foreman and Wilson's writing credits during the opening titles for #TheBridgeOnTheRiverKwai. #TCMParty
They already had #TenderMercies scheduled before his passing. #TCMParty
Here's a honorable mention to Marni Nixon, who did the partial singing voice for Audrey Hepburn in #MyFairLady. #TCMParty
I love Disney animation, and Jane Baer animated some magical moments and characters. May she rest in peace.
What films do you think he should won for? I wish he was nominated for #AStarIsBorn (1954) but there's no denying Elia Kazan rightfully won the Oscar that year. #TCMParty #MyFairLady
You'll like it. It's one of the best political satires ever made. #DrStrangelove #TCMParty
That was a chilling ending. #OnTheBeach #TCMParty
Stanley Kramer liked Astaire's performance in #OntheBeach so much he cast another song-and-dance man Gene Kelly in his next movie #InheritTheWind. #TCMParty
'A Place in the Sun' aired last month on January 20. And having been to the Classic Film Festival, films shown at the festival get rotated on the channel a lot.
For example, last year, 'The Fabulous Baker Boys' was shown at the festival and premiered on the channel later in July 2025. #TCMParty
What an impressive match cut. #TheGraduate #TCMParty
She's so effortlessly sexy. #TheGraduate #TCMParty
Bravo to David Lean, the cast, and the production team of #DoctorZhivago!!! It was a tremendous box office success and won 5 Oscars. 60 years later, it holds up remarkably well. #TCMParty
Freddie Young is killing it with these shots! #DoctorZhivago #TCMParty
Yeah, I made a mistake. David Lean wanted to film in 70mm, but MGM thought it was too costly. It was filmed in 35mm Panavision and then blown up. #TCMParty
#DoctorZhivago #TCMParty
Pasha lives?! #DoctorZhivago #TCMParty
David Lean and cinematographer Freddie Young really capture the beauty and the harshness of the Russian tundra. Super Panavision 70 at its finest. #TCMParty #DoctorZhivago
Klaus Kinski. #DoctorZhivago #TCMParty
