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

Tonight on TCM:
I cannot think of any Alfred Hitchcock film as static in nature as 1948’s Rope, reviewed here and showing up on TCM Friday, November 10 at 7 pm PST.

In 1966, one of the more challenging films to face off against the Production Code (mentioned in Exploring the Artefacts #3: Code Breakers) was that year’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, reviewed here. This film remarkably delivers all of the guttural force of its theatrical origin while creating a more intimate, and cinema appropriate, dynamic all its own. Let the “games” begin Friday, November 10 at 8:30 pm PST and again Sunday, November 19 at 10:15 am PST.
