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

Today on TCM:

My next recommendation is one of those lesser known films noir with a most appropriate title: Impact (1949). One can experience this captivating little cinematic explosive, previously reviewed here, in host Eddie Muller's Noir Alley Saturday, July 8 at 9 pm PDT and again on Sunday, July 9 at 7 am PDT.

Charles Coburn, Helen Walker

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on the above image. 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.

Currently available on Watch TCM (for at least another 5 days), is the remarkably understated, albeit compelling, racial drama Intruder in the Dust also released in 1949. Still deserving of more critical acclaim, this filmed adaptation of literary giant William Faulkner’s novel has been reviewed as a DVD recommendation here. Watch TCM’s schedule can be seen by clicking on either the image or the banner below.
