TCM classic movie daytime promo
Wow it must've been forever since I've seen this one but I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity of posting it because I love taking a trip down memory lane; here is a classic TCM morning promo made in the mid 1990s and I especially loved the bumpers that appeared right before the film (not the current bumpers but the classic ones) so I hope that you enjoy seeing this video again!!


The Blue Angel.1930.Dir.Josef von Sternberg
In this Clip of course Marlene Dietrich sings Her famous "Falling in Love Again"(Can't help it)but also you will see Kurt Gerron,who I wrote a blog about.He is the big guy in the top hat.He Died in the Holocaust in 1944.Dietrich and Gerron were the best of friends.
