Coming up on TCM...

[txfilmfan]

been liking these "B" movies shown lately....

Wish just once they would duplicate their "Movie Night" experience with a full slate of programming from the studio era: newsreel, short subject, cartoon, B picture, A picture...

Enjoyed THE PREVIEW MURDER MYSTERY but less than halfway through figured out who was the killer. Ian Keith (terrific in NIGHTMARE ALLEY) seems to get shortchanged by hosts -- he is never mentioned. Interesting how director Robert Florey kept showing his character (one of the suspects) in profile.

Full confession. I forgot about the disability theme this month, and did not know they made a silent film called Deliverance about Helen Keller. When I first saw that Deliverance was on tomorrow night, I mistook it for the infamous 1972 film and wondered what on earth it had in common with City Lights

[Bronxgirl48]

I was fascinated by DELIVERANCE. Just at the point where the film was going overboard about portraying Helen as some sort of supernatural being, they introduced a welcome segment showing Keller not just as a role model but a very real woman yearning for romantic love and physical intimacy (i.e. sex). Tying her story with propaganda for America's entry into WWI was of-its-time floridly tortuous; also the Nadja character counterpoint seemed unnecessary and rather confusing.

My only reaction is suspicion when a celebrity tweets promos.

I think TCM tries recreating the theater experience with travelogues & short "fillers" between feature movies.
Agreed, it's much better with appropriate time period newsreels & cartoons, but we're just fortunate the time slots aren't filled with COMMERCIALS.

[cmovieviewer]

There are several errors in the TCM online schedule for Sunday evening.
The following should be close to the real schedule.

Silent Sunday Nights is showing 3 Harold Lloyd shorts so these times are approximate.
(They normally just run them back-to-back and don't try to start them exactly on the half-hour.)

TCM Imports is showing Daisies (1966) and Something Different (1963) starting at 2:30 AM.

(Times listed are Eastern.)

Airing at 12 AM Eastern on Saturday morning September 23, 2023 is Peter Bogdanovich's THE LAST PICTURE SHOW --- probably one if the best American movies of all-time.

Adapted from Larry McMurtry's novel by McMurtry and Bogdanovich, the movie features Oscar-winning performances by Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson as well as Oscar-nominated performances by Ellen Burstyn and Jeff Bridges.
