"I know you don't tell people a lot of things. I have the feeling inside you somewhere, there's something nobody knows about - and I'll find it out."
"It's not good to find out too much Charlie."

Between scheduling my #SummerUnderTheStars posts and editing my CINEMA COFFEE #SUTS Edition videos, I came across *a lot* of photos of nearly every honoree with coffee (or tea) and knew I couldn't pass up a month long thread. Here it goes.
*I plan* to post a thread daily of each #SummerUnderTheStars honoree w/ coffee (or tea), continuing my old #TeaTimeForACoffeeBreak. Beginning w/ #BetteDavis on set of THE SISTERS ('38) w/ THE then UCLA football player Kenny Washington, working at Warner Bros. during summer vacay.
To the break room Classic Film Fans ... It's #TeaTimeForACoffeeBreak #SummerUnderTheStars Edition with ... #RichardBurton and Elizabeth Taylor, 1967.

So this month's themed film viewing will be American films from 1930 -1934 as part of @FilmFan1971's #PreCodeApril initiative. Expect lots of gangsters, sex and scandal!
Born Reckless (1930, John Ford)
Part-Gangster, part-WW1 movie + a few musical numbers thrown in & all in 76 mins! A judge gives gangster Louis (Edmund Lowe) the choice of prison or war, chooses war. On his return he opens a nightclub & gets caught up in crime again. #PreCodeApril

The Doorway to Hell (1930, Archie Mayo)
Louie (Lew Ayres) a ruthless gangster tries to go straight after getting married but gets sucked back in. His right-hand-man Mileaway (James Cagney) tries to help. Cagney's charisma is electric, this was his 2nd screen role. #PreCodeApril

Feels appropriate to start off with photographer A.L. “Whitey” Schafer’s wonderful Thou Shalt Not image, created in 1941 to satirise the Hays Code restrictions. More background here: ladailymirror.com/2013/11/04/mar…

Here’s my @letterboxd list of over 800 #PreCode films (I’m still adding to it). The top 50 are personal favourites / recommendations / Pre-Code must-sees. Also, everything from around 650 onwards is on the Pre-Code Movies YouTube channel. #PreCodeApril letterboxd.com/filmfan1971/li…
