Dish of the Day

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Coming up on TCM:

A true romance film and of the highest artistic calibre has been reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: Brief Encounter. Director David Lean's stirring "encounter" will begin on Sunday, March 5 at (early morning) 3:15 am PST.  

In my prior review of Casablanca, I made some criticism regarding its emotionally underwhelming Parisian flashback. Prior to this film, however, Casablanca's producer Hal Wallis and one of its contributing writers, Casey Robinson, made Now, Voyager where the romance witnessed from start to finish comes alive with fervour, maturity and elegance. Previously reviewed here, Now, Voyager will set sail immediately after Brief Encounter on Sunday, March 5 at 5 am PST.

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on any of the above images. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
