10 a.m. Popeye: Fightin’ Pals (1940).
-
Thursday, January 16
8 p.m. New York, New York (1977). This is an underrated Scorsese IMO.
Friday, January 17/18
4 a.m. It's Alive (1974). This sounds like it should be hilarious …”A couple's use of an experimental fertility drug produces a monstrous infant.” But it is directed by Larry Cohen and probably misses the mark.

I love that movie! Yeah, it's goofy, but I liked the needles-taped-under-the-eyes bit, and if I recall, it had a shocking neck stabbing, too.
It was incredibly stylish, I gave it that. 😄

1987
and I’ve also seen …
Opera (1987) Dario Argento, Italy
Some good terror set pieces in this gallo but boy does it stretch credulity to get there. If you are annoyed by characters who do dumb things in order to get themselves killed you won’t like this either.
The picture comes from bloodydisgusting.com 😄

Hey, has anyone else noticed that when searching for an image on google the "copy image address" option has disappeared on a majority of their photos?

Patrica Neal SOTM
11:15 p.m. The Breaking Point (1950). With Patrica Neal, John Garfield. Wallace Ford is also a stand out.
Wednesday, January 15
9:45 a.m. The Big Sky (1952). Howard Hawks film with Kirk Douglas. Arthur Hunnicutt is amusing as usual.

8 p.m. The Search (1948). Good Fred Zinnemann film with Montgomery Clift but little Ivan Jandl steals the film. Replaced in Canada with Operation Eichmann (1961) with Werner Klemperer as Eichmann.

10: 15 p.m. The Late Show (1977). Part of the Art Carney night. But Lily Tomlin and the recently departed Bill Macy (1922-2019) are also very good.
4 a.m. The Bridge (1959). Terrific WWII picture from German director Berhard Wicki. This picture probably landed him the assignment of the German sections of The Longest Day (1962). And I would add that the ending of Saving Private Ryan (1998) owes something to this film.

Milos Forman's Taking Off (1971) has one of my favourite Buck Henry performances. He was a gem.

1984
and I’ve also seen …
La Muerte del Chacal (1984) Pedro Galindo, Mexico
Mexican slasher film. Just dreadful and the plot is like Swiss cheese.

10 a.m. Popeye: Nurse Mates (1940).
noon. Gentleman’s Agreement (1947). Multi-Oscar winning Eliz Kazan picture. Probably lacks the punch it had upon its original release.

What's with the constant conflicts between the schedule posted online and the program guide posted on your TV? This is a problem that's existed for years, and yet I've yet to see it corrected.
Online, here's what's listed for the wee hours tonight:
12:49 AM Greenwich Village R.F.D., 11 min.
2:45 AM Girlfriends, 88 min.
And here's what appears on my TV, which I might add is usually the correct version:
1:00 - 2:45 Before Stonewall
2:45 - 4:15 GirlfriendsBut when I search for Before Stonewall on the TCM site, there's no indication of any scheduled showings.
I understand that programs can change, but why can't the online schedule reflect these changes? It's almost come to the point that I don't feel I can trust anything about the overnight schedules posted online, which makes programming any recording kind of a mess, to say the least. It's as if once the online schedule is posted, whoever does it just takes the rest of the month off with no forwarding address, unless some notable actor dies and there's an impromptu tribute that pre-empts the original schedule.
I'm guessing but it looks to me that if you were to combine the two examples above that you would get the correct line up.
BTW, welcome back!

Wednesday, January 8
I don't see this one in the American or Canadian schedule any longer. There is just a big blank in this time slot. So maybe it is on and maybe it isn't?
10:15 p.m. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (1967). One of Roger Corman’s best. Good cast and classic narration by Paul Frees.
Paul Frees (1920-1986).

Patricia Neal SOTM
8 p.m. The Fountainhead (1949). Controversial Ann Rand film with Gary Cooper and Neal. I didn’t care for it much. Replaced in Canada with The Night Digger (1971) which has a story a lot like Night Must Fall.

1983
Deadly Circuit (1983) Claude Miller, France
A tad confused but still amusing. Michel Serrault plays a detective on the trail of bluebeardess, Isabelle Adjani. Good cast.

Monday, January 6
Monday night's schedule has been completely rearranged since it was first announced. My original pick at 10:15 p.m. of Body and Soul (1947) has been scratched. But I am pleased to see that this one from the original January 23 schedule appears on Monday ...
8 p.m. Scandal: The Trial of Mary Astor (2018). Something I knew nothing about. Set for a repeat at 1 a.m.

That's the one that, after filming was done, Howard Hughes watched it and declared that Nazis were no longer relevant villains, and to change them to Communists. I saw it last year or so, and thought it was entertaining if more than a bit silly.
When I was browsing through the stills for the film I was impressed by the compositions. Now whether that was just the still photographer or also the cinematographer I will have to wait and see.

Il Mostro (1994) Roberto Benigni, Italy
I think I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than to watch this again.
