GUN CRAZY (1950) *
Peggy Cummins plays Annie Laurie Starr, a sharpshooter in a carnival who catches the eye of Bart Tare (John Dall). It’s a match made in film noir heaven…they’re both crack shots who like to work out their problems with guns. Soon, Annie’s got Bart into a crime spree. Featuring one of the greatest long takes in cinema.
*TCM gives two different dates for Gun Crazy so I went with IMDB.

Thursday, May 17 | 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific
BOOMERANG (1947)
This a lesser-known film noir that director Elia Kazan considered to be his “breakthrough film,” in which he applied newsreel-style documentary techniques to Hollywood storytelling. However, he didn’t really value his star, Dana Andrews, so it’ll be interesting see how it all worked out. Nominated for the Best Screenplay Oscar.

Wednesday, May 9 | 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific
The Most Dangerous Game (1932)
Star of the Month Joel McCrea is one of three shipwrecked people who end up on an island owned by a mysterious Count Zaroff…the others are Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong. This bloodthirsty weirdo prefers the most dangerous game…humans! Sounds a bit like that Jean Claude Van Damme movie, Hard Target, as it should..per TCM, this story has been remade many times. This film was made at the same time as King Kong, with several of the same cast and crew.

Friday, May 11 | 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific
Bedazzled (1967)
Dudley Moore is Stanley, a short-order cook who has a crush on a waitress (Eleanor Bron from HELP!). He thinks he’s got it made when he meets the Devil (Peter Cook) and trades his soul for seven wishes. Next thing you know, he’s taking on different personae and getting mixed up with the Seven Deadly Sins.
Look for us on Twitter with #TCMParty…watch and tweet along!

Thank goodness it’s Friday, time for a TCM Party double feature…

…at 9:45 p.m. EDT — 12 ANGRY MEN (1957) Most of the members of a jury are more interested in delivering a guilty verdict in a murder trial than in hearing all the evidence…except for one, an architect (Henry Fonda), who doesn’t believe the prosecution has really proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Slowly but surely, he begins to wear the others down. The only film Henry Fonda ever produced.

…then at 2:00 a.m. EDT (technically Saturday) — “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of bubble gum”…that’s right…THEY LIVE (1988) starring “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as a drifter whose special sunglasses allow him to detect the aliens who have stealthily conquered the world. Guest hosted by @biscuitkitten (who loves the movie) and @willmckinley (who has never seen it).
