Today on TCM:

In 1966, one of the more challenging films to face off against the Production Code (mentioned in Exploring the Artefacts #3: Code Breakers) was that year’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? remarkably delivering all of the guttural force of its theatrical origin while creating a more intimate, and cinema appropriate, dynamic all its own. Let the “games” begin Thursday, September 28 at 10:30 am PDT. Elizabeth Tayor’s performance is one of our Top Ten Performances by an Actress.

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.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is September’s Blu-ray recommendation, the review for which will be posted in a few days.

This month’s Soundtrack recommendation has a few observations on the film itself. It is John Williams' rugged and sensational score to the first sequel to 1993's Jurrasic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).

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

Hope to see you tomorrow.
