"Last summer, Jon Stewart took a sabbatical from his Daily Show hosting duties to direct his first feature film, Rosewater, starring Gael García Bernal. The drama is based on the experiences of Iranian-born Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari, who was arrested, imprisoned, and tortured for more than 100 days after Iran’s controversial 2009 presidential election. The imagery from the first trailer is especially haunting considering the journalists who are currently being held hostage in the Middle East."

That article tells me nothing.
as it mentions Turner Broadcasting System CEO Martins as saying “start 2015 a more streamlined, nimble and efficient company focused on driving programming, monetization and innovation,"
concerning future streamlining, cost-cutting & lay-offs, there seems little possibility of TCM's splitting into 2 channels in the near future.

9:30 pm ET91 mincrimeAct of Murder, An (1948)Dir: Michael Gordon Cast: Fredric March , Edmond O'Brien , Florence Eldridge .When a judge learns his wife has terminal brain cancer, he begins to consider mercy-killing.
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Michael Gordon. Fredric March, Florence Eldridge, Edmond O'Brien, Geraldine Brooks.
"March is excellent as strict jurist who must judge himself for saving his wife the anguish of illness by killing her; absorbing drama."
"..holds up very well as a family drama, a courtroom drama, and a tale of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges"

"We originally thought we could shoot it as PG-13 without compromising the scares," one co-writer said. "And then the MPAA came back and gave us a badge of honor. They gave us an R for 'Violence and Terror.' We asked them if there was anything we could do, and they said, 'Why ruin a perfectly scary movie?'"
--what horror film (remake of 70s tv movie classic) does this refer to??

Next: Film title
