I don't think I've ever not loved a performance by Edward Everett Horton or James Gleason.
I don't have as much of an affinity for James Gleason—I enjoy him wherever he turns up, but I don't seek him out—but TCM right now has half a dozen pre-Code films with Edward Everett Horton in the buffer and I am trying to figure out how many of them I can watch before Friday without hurting myself. Messenger 7013 really was my first image of him after Mr. Witherspoon. I think I still have somewhere in a box the staticky VHS copy of Here Comes Mr. Jordan that I hung onto past the advent of DVD because for years it still wasn't available.
(Robert Montgomery I just saw as a spineless, snitching young inmate The Big House (1930), of course, so the idea of him as a romantic hero is temporarily cognitive dissonance.)
That interview with William Daniels and Lin-Manuel Miranda is terrific (as is the fanart!).

The whole thing makes me very happy!
