Dish of the Day (A Long Good Friday Edition)

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

Friday, January 5, 2024

Today on TCM:

The next two film noirs, both starring ice skating champ Belita and playing back-to-back, may be lesser known but are well worth checking out.

First, get ready for the appropriately titled Suspense (1946), reviewed here and making a rare showing on TCM Friday, January 5 at 11:15 am PST.

Belita

Immediately after Suspense, there’s The Hunted (1948) reviewed here. I mentioned writer Steve Fisher as a contributor to one of last month’s TCM recommendations Roadblock (1951). The Hunted was filmed from an original screenplay by Fisher, thus its noir qualities are amply evident. Plus, Roadblock’s star tough guy makes a cameo appearance. Be on the hunt for this engrossing film noir Friday, January 5 at 1:15 pm PST.

Belita, Preston Foster
