It’s funny it’s horny the cast is gorgeous.

Why let a woman come between two friends, when two friends could make a woman come between them? ;)

posting this so the design for living heads can carouse in the reblogs

Let’s change the subject. Right. Let’s talk about something entirely new. Let’s talk about ourselves. Very interesting. Fredric March and Gary Cooper in Design For Living (1933) dir. Ernst Lubitsch

Just watched “Design for Living” (1933), fun little movie I did enjoy it.

I’m a bit disappointed with how little we see the 3 of them actually living together. For those who don’t know, the movie is about Gilda (I really like her, she’s not like the stereotypical “oh I love you sm and I wanna do whatever you ask me” romance woman or the two-dimensional love interest) who’s in love with 2 men (heh, usually is the way ‘round) whose names are Tom (a playwriter) and George (a painter).

At first she suggests to live together in a platonic relationship and acts like a muse for the 2 men (launching both of their careers), but while Tom was away she and Gorge had sex (breaking the agreement) and they told him in a letter—> I found that scene a bit sad, because he was being so so excited about inviting them over at London (they used to live in Paris) to see the premiere of his play… Then he got the letter… And looked destroyed… And I was “Come on… That’s not cool.”

Then when Tom returned George was away and HE got sex with Gilda, George returned early and understood what happened and punched him and Gilda left both of them.

Btw those two have lived together for 11 years (“and they were roommates” ,’:) ), I think that during Gilda’s absence they returned staying together. At the end they both return to her (she had married with Plunkett during that time, but was very unhappy about it, she probably did it because of societal pressures and not to close that chapter of her life… Yk… An independent woman was not seen well at the time), they all get in the car (she gets a divorce btw, the movie shows how they work it out) and Tom then George kiss her in the mouth and they are all chill about it (she has always been, the two boys weren’t really happy with this) so… Poly?

I mean… She still mentions the gentleman’s agreement, but in this case they don’t mention sex (only hint at it)… So either they are ok with a platonic relationship or they just do poly, which for a 1933 movie it’s cool (ik it was pre-code, but still the 30’s)

So yeah… Nice lil movie :)

Here to wake up the 3 other Design For Living fans.

i wish i had cogent propaganda for DESIGN FOR LIVING (1933) but i do not but I still think it deserves credit for being a CANONICAL THROUPLE MOVIE (no exaggeration that is literally how they decide to resolve the love triangle) and it released in 1933.

(and gary cooper was in it but I am personally biased)

people hold up THE PHILADELPHIA STORY/HIGH SOCIETY as throuple movies but imagine that same level of chemistry between all of the individual pairings… being metastasised into canon.

which is not to say that something being canonical is proof that it is “the best throuple movie” or that it is “the be all and end all of throuple movies” or that it “deserves to be win all the hotvintagepoll polls” or anything, but I just wanted to give my favourite entrants a shout-out 🥹

Brands hopping on trends is cringe unless the brand is TCM.
