Tonight on TCM:

1945’s Spellbound directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is another film whereby I’ve previously promoted its soundtrack and have added a few words regarding the film itself here. Spellbound will air Tuesday, February 20 at 7:30 pm.

In my review of Casablanca, I made some criticism regarding its emotionally underwhelming Parisian flashback. Prior to this film, however, Casablanca's producer Hal Wallis and one of its contributing writers, Casey Robinson, made Now, Voyager where the romance witnessed from start to finish comes alive with fervour, maturity and elegance. Previously reviewed here, Now, Voyager will set sail Tuesday, February 20 at 9:30 pm PST.
