Lucky those who'll be able to watch the TCM Tuesday (this from a poster down under). "Baby Face" is a delightful pre-Code film -- Ms. Stanwyck's character is quite explicit in sleeping her way to the top of the corporate ladder and it's all done in an almost acceptable way! Stunning and well worth watching. "Night Nurse" is also a gem -- but then again, I tend to be very partial to Ms. Stanwyck's work. The pace is very fast, detractors of older days' cinema won't find cause to complain. I haven't seen "Clash by Nigh" in many, many years. I'd gotten the impression the line "I've always depended on the kindness of strangers" was delivered in the beginning, at a bar... But given "Streetcar", I'd need to double check. Ah! I'm so envious of TCM viewers! After watching them on Tuesday, I'd recommend watching 1939's "Golden Boy", then log on to "YouTube" and search for "Barbara Stanwyck William Holden Oscars" and you'll be in for one of the most moving moments in Hollywood history.

I haven't seen that one in a long time, but I remember really liking it way back when.

I didn't "recommend" it because it wasn't included in TCM's Barbara Stanwyck marathon. “The Lady Eve” is by far my favorite Preston Sturges comedy.

Not only thanks to Barbara but also to great Henry Fonda and to the brilliant directing by Preston Sturges. What about “The Lady Eve”?!One of my fav ever.
