1. Heads up! 'Enchanted April' showing again today!

yep, that's right, our beloved 'Enchanted April' is being re-broadcast on Sunday! I've already placed my advanced order with TCM for the soon-to-be-released DVD of this favorite! Enjoy!

2. Bump!

Thanks for the PSA regarding Enchanted April. I want to get the DVD when it's out as well, but for now it's great that TCM has finally added it to the film library.

I have The More the Merrier on right now. That too is unmissable (and like Maytime last night, quite sexy). I have an added fondness for TMTM because A) it stars Jean Arthur and B) I work not far from Farragut Square, which is of course the inspiration for the Charles Coburn's character's invocation of the famous "Damn the torpedoes" quote.
