Monday, September 21 8 p.m. A Cry In the Dark (1988). [Spoiler]

1935 4. L’Equipage (1935, Anatole Litvak, France A Pretty decent love triangle film with WWI Flyers. A very young Jean-Pierre Aumont discovers that the woman he is in love with and is having an affair with is the wife of his Squadron Leader, Charles Vanel. Vanel who is so great as a hard nosed villain makes this character completely sympathetic which gives Aumont a crisis of guilt. Litvak would remake this in Hollywood in 1937 as The Woman I Love. And like the Algiers (1938) Hollywood remake of Pepe Le Moko (1937), The Woman I Love is remade virtually shot for shot. The battle and stock footage is lifted straight from the original. So, not only did these films purchase the literary rights but the film rights too. Paul Muni does a credible job in the Charles Vanel part but my goodness, Louis Hayward is no Jean-Pierre Aumont. Miriam Hopkins seems bored playing the love interest.

Sunday, September 20 10 p.m. Tarzan’s Peril (1951). With Lex Barker. According to Leonard Maltin Dorothy Dandrige is “excellent” in a small role.

Saturday, September 19 10 a.m. Popeye: Olive Oyl and Water Don’t Mix (1942).

The 2019 winner of Sweden’s Guldbagge Award was … And Then We Danced (2019) Levan Akin, Sweden The 2019 winner of Sweden’s Guldbagge Foreign Film Award was … Parasite (2019) Joon-ho Bong, South Korea

Friday, September 18 midnight. Lost In America (1985). This has some good laughs. With Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty.

Rex Harrison and Richard Burton in Staircase (1969). And it's not just their sexuality that makes them odd.

Thursday, September 17 midnight. A Man to Remember (1938). A small town doctor fights crooked politicians during a polio pandemic.

Wednesday, September 16 6:15 p.m. Cat Ballou (1965). A very good comedy western and I love Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye.

2016 6. May God Save Us (2016) Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Spain I thought this was a very well done police vs. serial killer film with standout performances by Antonio de la Torre and Roberto Alamo as the mis-matched cops. Recommended.

Tuesday, September 15/16 2:30 a.m. Loving Couples (1964). Mai Zetterling film with Harriet Andersson and Gunnel Lindblom. A rarity! The film is 2 hours and there in nothing else listed until 6:30 so something else must be in the 4:30 slot. In Canada my cable box guide tells me that this is the Ida Lupino film, Pillow to Post (1945).

Monday, September 14 8:30 a.m. When In Rome (1952). With Paul Douglas, Van Johnson and Joseph Calleia.

Sunday, September 13/14 2:45 a.m. A River Called Titas (1973). Bangladeshi film by Ritwik Ghatak. This is no longer listed on the schedule but it has not been replaced by anything as yet.

You need to identify the EXACT problem. Are you able to record the commercials and introductions on TCM but when the movie comes on it stops and you get an error message?

Saturday, September 12 10 am.m. Popeye: Pip-Eye, Pup-Eye, Poop-Eye An’ Peep-Eye (1942). 4:45 p.m. The Sand Pebbles (1966). With Oscar nominated Steve McQueen.

Friday, September 11/12 5:15 a.m. Sex Madness (1938). A social diseases drama that gets a whopping 2.7 rating on the imdb.

It could be a cable company upgrade. My provider started blocking recordings to DVD or VCR some years ago now. If that is the case you will need a special device between your cable box and your recorder to make it work. The way to check if it is your cable provider (mine denied it was them and it was them) is to see it you are allowed to record the TCM commercials and introductions but all that stops when the movies start. The way also knew it was my specific cable provider was that this was not happening to a friend who lived just outside the city with a different cable provider.

Thursday, September 10 . 10 a.m. Mystery In Mexico (1948). Crime drama shot in Mexico City and Cuernavaca.

Wednesday, September 9 8 p.m. Mr. Belvedere Goes to College (1949). I saw this a million times as a kid. Clifton Webb would crack me up. Now only if they would play Mr. Scoutmaster (1953).

No, but just an educated guess that you will be correct at some point.

Oscar-winning director Jiri Menzel dies at age 82. We regret to inform you that Oscar-winning director Jiri Menzel dies at age 82. The sad news was published on Sunday evening by his wife Olga Menzlova. The winner of the prestigious Oscar film award for the film Closely Watched Trains went to the film heaven on Saturday evening. Jiri Menzel was born in 1938 in Prague as a son of famous writer and screenwriter Josef Menzel. In 1962 he finished his studies in directing with Otakar Vavra at FAMU (Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague). In the 1960s, he was a co-founder of the Czechoslovak New Wave film. His first feature film, Closely Watched Trains, based on a literary masterpiece by his favorite author - Bohumil Hrabal - from 1966 won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Another of his films Vesnicko ma strediskova (My Sweet Little Village) was nominated for an Oscar in 1985. The safe film Skrivanci na niti (Larks on a String) received the Golden Bear Award at the International Film Festival in Berlin in 1990, and in 1996 he himself won the Czech Lion for his long-term artistic contribution to Czech filmography. In 1977, he signed the so-called Anticharta, which condemned the declaration of Charter 77. He later said in an interview that the majority of Czechs served the communist regime at the time, and he is not ashamed of his signature, because it is a shame especially of those who forced him to sign. From 1977 to 1979 he was a member of the ensemble of the Jara Cimrman Theater. Since the 1970s, he has also been involved in theater directing (he himself claimed that his main occupation was a theater director who only happened to be filming). He has also worked as a theater director abroad, for example in Sofia, Bulgaria and in the former Yugoslavia. He collaborated mainly with Prague theaters - Drama Club, Vinohrady Theater. He taught at the FAMU in Prague and was a foreign member of the American Film Academy. He is the holder of the high French artistic title of the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier des Arts et Lettres). He became the founder of cable television CS film. Let's recall his major works.
