It's the movie line-up I've been waiting for
Ok..right now on TCM American Madness! It’s on!!!
THEN after that..Prosperity about a bank president and a shady bank bond scheme (For Marie Dressler fans this is a great one. For older actresses, this is proof that you have a serious role model.)
AFTER THAT.. The Crash about the stock market crash of 1929 and Looking Forward after that about a store owner facing bankruptcy! Forget MSNBC!!! All you need to know about our current economic situation is being played out on TCM. OK…more later.

Is anyone else watching Faithless on TCM?
Holy amazing! This film is fantastic!!!!! “Why don’t you kiss me?” that’s what Robert Montgomery says to Tallulah Bankhead after she just returns from turning tricks in the gutter to raise funds to care for her dying husband. Then she has to kiss a crucifix of a police officer after he picks her up for prostitution.
The movie deals with unemployment and unexpected lengths people must go to during times of crisis. There is some some weird dubbing issue with the film though. I wonder if the original sound was destroyed? Robert Osborne??
