From the gallery to the silver screen, the jewels in Radiance and Reverie: Jewels from the Collection of Neil Lane shine in a new light. Each film in this series showcases at least one dazzling jewel from the exhibition. Explore Radiance and Reverie in the galleries, then settle in for a screening that celebrates the art of adornment, drama, and Hollywood style.

That Uncertain Feeling (1941) is a sophisticated romantic comedy about a Manhattan socialite. Jill Baker (Merle Oberon) has an incurable case of the hiccups for which she reluctantly agrees to see a psychologist, Dr. Vengard (Alan Mowbray). During her first visit she realizes her hiccups may be related to nerves about her husband, Larry (Melvyn Douglas). Upon her second visit to the psychologist, she runs into a famous pianist (Burgess Meredith), and her doubts about her marriage are intensified when he starts courting her. Larry carries out a plan to renew his wife’s affections.

Guests can purchase a selection of classic movie snacks, including bagged popcorn, chips, pretzels, cookies, brownies, and rice crispy treats. A variety of boxed theater candies — such as Milk Duds, Snow Caps, Jujyfruits, and Swedish Fish — will also be available. Bottled soda and water for purchase will be offered throughout the event.

Meet author Mayukh Sen before the screening for an exclusive book signing of his new biography, Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star. Published in 2025, Sen’s book is the first full biography of Oberon in over forty years, exploring her groundbreaking career, her impact on Hollywood, and her connection to jewelry—an interest also highlighted in his essay, “Diamonds Were Their Career,” in the catalogue for Radiance and Reverie. Following the signing and before the screening, Sen will introduce the film and share insights from his research on Oberon and other iconic actresses. Copies of Love, Queenie will be available for purchase at the TMA Store and online through event registration: https://store.toledomuseum.org/default/love-queenie-merle-oberon-hollywoods-first-south-asian-star.html.
