Tony Curtis in the 60s on TCM
SPARTACUS with Kirk Douglas
THE OUTSIDER with James Franciscus
THE BOSTON STRANGLER with Henry Fonda
TARAS BULBA with Yul Brynner
Looking forward to SPARTACUS.
THE BOSTON STRANGLER is an interesting film, though there have been serious doubts about the guy's guilt in recent years.

I re-watched Double Jeopardy because I find it interesting and like Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd (think Bruce Greenwood got started on St. Elsewhere).
Jones and Judd certainly make DOUBLE JEOPARDY worth watching, but I wonder if the screenwriters really understood what double jeopardy means.
(Going to go into some SPOILERS here).
The fact that the no-good hubby faked his death and framed her for it does not mean she gets a free pass to go out and kill him and escape prosecution just because she was falsely convicted the first time. Two completely different scenarios. In real life she certainly would have been arrested (though a judge and jury might go easy on her considering the husband did screw her badly).
I mean say, what if she had been wrongly convicted of robbing a convenience store, then once she got out she just decided to rob the place out of spite? Again, it would be two different situations there.
Still, I think Jones and Judd made a great team. But the filmmakers really needed to do their homework on what this particular legal term means.

8 p.m. Spartacus (1960). I see they have made a schedule correction … Part Two is no longer followed by Part One.
I certainly won't miss this movie, one of my favorites, and one of, if not the, Kirk's best roles and of course he's backed up with a great supporting cast...Laurence Olivier, Charles Laughton and Peter Ustinov and what a joy to watch them interact with each other.

1322, 1328 and 1330 I enjoy the most from this selection. 1325 I like well enough. The rest are hit and miss for me.

Western comedy on TCM
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF! with James Garner
SAM WHISKEY with Burt Reynolds
I really like SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF!
Garner's characters had a way of charming you regardless of how unscrupulous they could have been.

Despite CLAUDE RAINS, the best thing to like about that movie is MARIA OUSPENSKAYA !
"The way you walked was thorny through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end. Now you will have peace for eternity."
Actually, I think both actors make the film worth watching, along with the lead performance by Lon Chaney, Jr. as the tormented title character.

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY has been a childhood favorite of mine since I was five. I loved it then and I still love it now.
All the child actors were great ( particularly Julie Dawn Cole, who played the insufferably bratty Veruca Salt).
Interestingly this was both the film debut and film finale of Peter Ostrum, who decided stardom just wasn't for him, and went back to living a regular childhood.
