Today on TCM:

Immediately following The Prowler is another intense film starring Van Heflin: Patterns (1956). This is Hidden Gem #54 with Ed Begley as the displaced U.S. executive whose shameful bullying at the hands of his superior corporate officer (Everett Sloane) is slowly starting to anger Begley's younger ally and (unbeknownst to himself) replacement, played by Van Heflin. All three male leads exhibit voracious appetites for their Rod (The Twilight Zone) Serling created dynamic parts. The dramatic fireworks are set to explode Wednesday, October 29 at 3 pm PDT.
