Dish of the Day (A Long Good Friday Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, October 20, 2023
Today on TCM:
Not all of the TCM films I review receive favourable notices. Bob Fosse’s biographical drama Star 80 (1983) is one such exception that I found disappointing and is reviewed briefly here. Star 80 will appear on TCM’s radar Friday, October 20 at 9:45 am PDT.
Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts
My next recommended feature is 1947’s The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, a romantic fantasy/drama that provides viewers with an incredibly moving emotional experience. It has been previously reviewed here. This timeless romance begins on Friday, October 20 at 5 pm PDT.
