Since a friend recommended the novel, I thought “A Distant Trumpet” might be worth watching. But the frame-shuddering lousy copy @tcm is showing is unwatchable. It’s giving me a headache. #TCMParty

This is the first time I’ve noticed this in the credits of George Cukor’s 1937 film of Romeo & Juliet: “Literary Consultant / Professor William Strunk, Jr. / Cornell University.” That’s the lead author of The Elements of Style. #TCMParty

Rumer Godden

If you enjoy Powell and Pressburger’s Black Narcissus (and who does not?), I strongly recommend Rumer Godden’s novel on which it’s based. The film is very faithful to it. #TCMParty
