@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialI'm distracted by wishing they still offered refrigerators in turquoise... (GE ad, 1961—and hey they used to have the freezer as a drawer on the bottom!) #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty
@wmweibel.bsky.socialAgain, I ask, What about Helen Chao? #TCMParty #FlowerDrumSong

The moral of Mei Li's story is that you can learn a lot from old movies. #TCMParty #FlowerDrumSong
@wmweibel.bsky.social@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialThis poor girl, she has to be stressed by being bounced around all over the place, but she's too sweet to show it. #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty
@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialI didn't know this! What an actual legitimate literal crying shame... #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty
@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialI second that! 💖
Or fifth, sixth or seventh it-whatever we're at now! #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty
@yankeemate.bsky.socialJack Soo kills me every time he responds, "that's the only thing that's changed." 🤣 #FlowerDrumSong #TCM #TCMParty
@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialHe's fantastic! I love his energy, personality and screen presence! I wish he was in even more scenes! #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty

@wmweibel.bsky.socialThough I'm a loyal son of *Southern* California, I appreciate any writing that evokes real locations via names of streets, neighborhoods, etc. #TCMParty #FlowerDrumSong
@teresarwv.bsky.socialShould've been a bigger star.
@teresarwv.bsky.socialFor real.
@condimentgrrl.bsky.socialHas it been pointed out that Madame Li was supposed to be played by Anna Mae Wong but she died sadly. So half Black half white Juanita Hall was cast. #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty
@condimentgrrl.bsky.socialLe Sigh. #FlowerDrumSong #TCMParty

@celluloidsoul.bsky.socialNot to state the obvious but wow is it nice to see Asian persons played by Asian persons in an old Hollywood movie. And to see a mix of generations, especially those who clearly only know America as their country. Obviously it's not perfect but I'm still happy. #FlowerDrumSong
