As you may know, I’ve been going to the TCM Film Festival every year since 2013 – this year is no different. What is different this year, though, is that the fest is scheduled a little later than usual and is extending into May. So, instead of serving up a new Pre-Code Crazy pick for May, I’m recommending a film I previously wrote about here at Shadows and Satin. (I’ll be doing the same with my May Film Noir Files pick). But I’ll be back on track in June (shades of Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life”)! My pre-Code recommendation for this month is Grand Hotel (1932), airing May 7th. This is one of those films that I can never see too many times – it not only offers a first-rate story with an outstanding cast, but it contains one of my favorite Joan Crawford performances. Tune in and treat yourself! Click HERE to check out my previous coverage of the film – and don’t forget to pop over to Speakeasy to see what Kristina is serving up for the month!
