Dish of the Day (A Long Good Friday Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, January 19, 2024
This weekend on TCM:
Next up is director John Frankenheimer’s subtle but evocative character study The Gypsy Moths released in 1969. I have previously written about some of this film’s exceptional qualities in a recommendation of its soundtrack here. The Gypsy Moths will take to the skies Saturday, January 20 at 7:15 pm PST.

My next TCM recommendation is 1947’s Nora Prentiss portrayed by Ann Sheridan. This first-class film noir, previously reviewed here, will make its striking impression Sunday, January 21 at 3 pm PST.

“Yes, I can be very cruel. I have been taught by masters.”
Olivia de Havilland is The Heiress (1949), previously reviewed here and appearing again on TCM Sunday, January 21 at 7 pm PST.
