Serving Cinema's Tastiest Treats

Dish of the Day

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

Saturday, February 17, 2024

Today on TCM:

The caper film first laid its roots in The Asphalt Jungle (1950) previously reviewed here. The depth of its characters and their fascinating interactions as the drama builds to a cathartic resolution is why this film has become one of America's finest cinematic achievements. The 'planning' will start on TCM Saturday, February 17 at 9:30 am PST.

Next is 1958’s The Big Country. I have written a few words about the film and a few more regarding its soundtrack here. The Big Country will be explored Saturday, February 17 at 2 pm PST.
