Dish of the Day
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Thursday, November 2, 2023
Today on TCM:
TCM will air The Marx Brothers’ masterpiece Duck Soup (1933) reviewed here. War will be declared Thursday, November 2 at 5 pm PDT.
From the same director who brought us Citizen Kane comes another kind of cinematic hero (of sorts). Michael O'Hara, like the deeply flawed Kane, is flawlessly played by his creator Orson Welles. Unlike Citizen Kane however, this film fell under its producer Harry Cohn's butchery with considerable footage lost and destroyed forever. Nevertheless, what survives is vastly entertaining and not to be missed. The Lady from Shanghai (1947) was also previously recommended here and will reappear on TCM Thursday November 2 at 8:30 pm PDT.
TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on either of the above images. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
