Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, July 4, 2025
Tomorrow on TCM:
1972's The Getaway is not nearly as meaningful or resonant as some of Sam Peckinpah's earlier films; still, as a genre piece, it punches solidly above its pay grade. The Getaway recommended here, will ensue Saturday, July 5 at 2:45 pm PDT.
Steve McQueen
The following TCM recommendation has been reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: The Night of the Hunter. This highly expressionistic Grimm-like fable, released in 1955, appears as if conveyed from a child's point of view. The "hunter" will call Saturday, July 5 at 5 pm PDT.
Robert Mitchum
TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on either of the above images. To confirm the correct Pacific Daylight (West Coast) showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the Eastern Daylight (East Coast) showtime listed on TCM’s schedule.

Hope to see you Monday, July 7th.
