Frank Capra turned to Howard Hawks for help when shooting ⬇️ scene in MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON. Ultimately filmed as a single 2-shot with no cuts, it became a tour-de-force for Jean Arthur as she played off Thomas Mitchell. #SummerUnderTheStars

One of the very, very best- Jean Arthur had the range, the depth and the charisma- she couldn’t settle for anything but truth. Truly an actor taht you can rewatch endlessly.

Jean Arthur openly disputed the kinds of roles Columbia studio boss Harry Cohn often assigned her. And as a result, Arthur was paid only $50,000 for THE TALK OF THE TOWN ('42) while co-stars Cary Grant and Ronald Colman received upwards of $100,000 each. #SummerUnderTheStars

Many great Jean Arthur films on TCM today, but maybe my favorite airs late this evening, at 12:30 a.m.: pro-worker screwball comedy THE DEVIL AND MISS JONES (1941).
Grouchy plutocrat Charles Coburn goes undercover among his employees and ends up siding with them!

Happy Jean Arthur Day! Jean was incredibly versatile and was equally great in both dramatic and comedic roles. What a smile she had!
My fav Jean 🎥 is History is Made at Night (1937). If you haven’t seen it, you should! #SummerUnderTheStars #TCMParty

While critics have tended to overlook WHIRLPOOL ('34) in tracing Jean Arthur's metamorphosis as a film actress, it remains the earliest film in which one can recognize the Arthur of the classic movies of her later years. #SummerUnderTheStars

Another Greta Garbo silent gem, A WOMAN OF AFFAIRS ('28) stars Garbo paired with her real-life love interest at the time, John Gilbert.
Based on the controversial novel-turned-play, "The Green Hat," the screen adaptation had to be drastically changed to align with Hays Code.
