Dish of the Day (A Long Good Friday Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, March 15, 2024
Today on TCM:
A film well worth seeing is Network (1976), previously reviewed here. This “mad as hell” exposé of just how far some TV executives will go to exploit for profit a former news anchor’s severe “on the air” mental breakdown, will itself air on TCM Friday, March 15 at 11:15 pm PDT.
Saturday on TCM:
Bad Day at Black Rock, reviewed here, is 1955's modern-day take on the American Western. This exceptional suspense-thriller is also a former entry in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley and will occur Saturday, March 16 at 11:30 am PDT.
