Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, June 26, 2026
Today and this weekend on TCM:
"And then I saw her - coming out of the sun. And I knew why Whit didn't care about that 40 grand."
Out of the Past (1947), is one of film noir's finest and most highly recommended here. She will arrive Friday, June 26th at 5 pm PDT.
Another TCM film-noir offering of considerable quality is 1948's Moonrise, reviewed here, and occurring Friday, June 26th at 8:30 pm PDT.
Also on TCM’s agenda is the Neo-noir Bullitt (1968), one of Steve McQueen’s most iconic characterisations. Reviewed here, Bullitt will speed its way onto TCM Saturday, June 27th at 12:45 pm PDT.
Preston Sturges masterfully wrote and directed Sullivan's Travels (1941), a prior Blu-ray endorsement here. The fun-filled journey will begin Saturday, June 27th at 5 pm PDT.
Joel McCrea, Veronica Lake
Moving to a totally different part of the cinematic landscape we have Jean-Luc Godard’s most fascinating dissection on the filmmaking industry, Contempt aka Les mepris (1963), a previous TCM recommendation here, and appearing Saturday, June 27th at 7 pm PDT.
Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli
