Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, August 14, 2026
Today and this weekend on TCM:
A couple on their way to New York City are about to have a serious reality check in 1970’s “comedy” The Out-of-Towners, previously reviewed here, and happening Friday, August 14th at 5 pm PDT.
Jack Lemmon, Sandy Dennis
The Searchers (1956), is one of the finest Westerns ever made and perhaps director John Ford's most artistically successful film. It has been previously reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: The Searchers and will begin on TCM Saturday, August 15th at 10:30 am PDT.
My next recommendation is Howard Hawks’ lightening fast comedy/romance His Girl Friday (1940), reviewed here and blasting off Sunday, August 16th at 10:45 am PDT.
