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

This weekend on TCM:
A film well worth seeing is Network (1976), previously reviewed here. This “mad as hell” exposé of just how far some TV executives will go to exploit for profit a former news anchor’s severe “on the air” mental breakdown, will itself air on TCM Saturday, December 27 at 6:45 pm PST.

MGM's 1952 musical Singin' in the Rain was not adapted from a theatrical production though the film was later turned into one being first presented on stage in 1983. Its abundant creativity, innovation and driving energy place this film at the top of all musicals ever produced. Singin' in the Rain has been reviewed here as a Blu-ray selection and will dance its way onto TCM Sunday, December 28 at 5 pm PST.
