Two Robert Montgomery Films are Airing this Thursday (4/20)!

Robert Montgomery.

It's no secret that Robert Montgomery is my favorite actor. Two of his films are going to air on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) this Thursday (4/20). I would most certainly recommend both movies!

Poster for Blondie of the Follies (1932).

Blondie of the Follies is a 1932 film starring Marion Davies and Robert Montgomery. It's about a girl named Blondie (played by Davies) who lives in a tenement house with her family and eventually finds it big in The Follies. During this she also meets handsome and wealthy Larry (played by Montgomery). It's a fun one to watch and if you're fans of Montgomery and Davies like I am, it's a must watch! It airs at 5:45 AM Central time on TCM this Thursday.

Poster for The Big House (1930).

The Big House is a 1930 Oscar winning film depicting the horrible conditions of prison life and some of the people who inhabit this overcrowded prison. It was pretty ahead of it's time and stars Chester Morris, Wallace Beery, Robert Montgomery, and Leila Hyams. Morris, Beery, and Montgomery have been sent to prison for different reasons and their outcomes in the end of the film are quite different. The ending is violent for the time this movie was made, but this was made before the enforcement of the dreaded Production Code (or known as a pre-Code film). I would highly recommend this one! It airs at 3:00 PM Central time on TCM this Thursday.
