Wed. 7-25 for Slavery in Film....... (time ET) 10:15 PM B/W - 100 m TV-PG Tamango (1959) Synopsis: Cast: Dorothy Dandridge , Curt Jurgens , Alex Cressan . see: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/92311/Tamango/articles.html LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: ? John Berry. Dorothy Dandridge, Curt Jurgens, Jean Servais, Roger Hanin, Guy Mairesse, Alex Cressan. "Stirring historical drama in which newly enslaved black African Cressan stirs revolt while being transported to Cuba aboard a slave ship. Dandridge is excellent in the complex role of a slave who is ship captain Jurgens' mistress. Way ahead of its time, and ripe for rediscovery. Based on a novelette by Prosper Merimee. " ==================================== 2:30 AM B/W - 127 m TV-MA Mandingo (1975) Synopsis: Dir: Richard O. Fleischer Cast: James Mason , Susan George , Perry King . " both reviled and celebrated for its portrait of the horrors of American slavery and its salacious mix of sex and violence since its release in 1975. The story of a brutal, virulently racist Southern slave-owning father and his lame son, who has a more romantic view of the relationship between white slavers and the enslaved black population they buy and sell, plays like a tawdry hothouse melodrama of sadism, sexual exploitation and social outrage, with overheated emotions and despicable acts of degradation on display. ..." see: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/82805/Mandingo/articles.html

late tonight........... 4:00 AM (ET) B/W - 98 m TV-PG Festival (1967) Synopsis: "Before rock became the dominant music of the counter-culture, there was folk, and this documentary captures most of the leading lights of that movement over the course of three Newport Folk Festivals in 1963, 1964 and 1965. The film captures performances by Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary, Judy Collins, Pete Seeger, Donovan, Odetta, and many more. .... Festival is a reminder of what these gatherings were like before the age of corporate sponsorship, endless swag and ubiquitous electronic devices mediating between the performer and the spectator. ......

Eddie Muller‏Verified account @EddieMuller 10h10 hours ago A FORTUNATE LIFE. That's what I would have called the autobiography I co-wrote with #TabHunter. Our two-year collaboration was a significant chapter in my life and I thank Tab for being an open, generous and gracious "subject" and friend. Your mater was proud of you, pal. RIP.

Ben Mankiewicz‏Verified account @BenMank77 9h9 hours ago One of the great pleasures of working at @tcm is meeting actors & filmmakers we all admire. It was impossible not to like Tab Hunter - he and his partner Allan were a delight to be around - at the TCM Film Festival & on the cruise. Thoughts are with Allan today.

Wed., 7-4 for Independence Day.... 1:15 AM (ET) B/W - 89 m Closed Captions Four Jills in a Jeep (1943) Synopsis: Dir: William A. Seiter Cast: Kay Francis , Carole Landis , Martha Raye . LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW: ? William A. Seiter. Kay Francis, Carole Landis, Martha Raye, Mitzi Mayfair, Phil Silvers, Dick Haymes, Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra; guest stars Betty Grable, Alice Faye, Carmen Miranda, George Jessel. "Contrived wartime entertainment with four leading ladies reenacting their actual experiences entertaining soldiers overseas (which Landis turned into a popular book of the same name). Some good musical moments but nothing to shout about."
