Today on TCM:


The next TCM recommendation has been reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: The Night of the Hunter. This highly expressionistic Grimm-like fable, released in 1955, appears as if conveyed from a child's point of view. The "hunter" will appear Saturday, December 9 at 11 am PST.

Robert Mitchum

Along with The Shop Around the Corner later this month, TCM is presenting another top Christmas Holiday classic, Remember the Night (1940), previously recommended here. The stars of this endearing cinematic charmer re-teamed for the later-made Double Indemnity. The dates to be remembered are Saturday, December 9 at 3:15 pm PST and Wednesday, December 20 at 5 pm PST.

Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray
