William Powell for the Holidays!

It's a great pleasure for me to see the wonderful William Powell featured every Thursday on TCM! For those of you in the And..Scene know, Powell is one of my favorite actors, as evidenced here and here and here and here and here. Well you catch my drift.
My favorites of his films are the Thin Man series (can't seem to say that enough on this blog), Life with Father, and I Love You Again. Focusing on his career outside the Thin Man role, I appreciate the opportunity to see him in his few dramatic roles.

So, in accordance with TCM's schedule, I will be focusing on William Powell this month. What a pleasure!



Tonight on TCM!
The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937) A chic jewel thief in England falls in love with one of her marks.
