Dish of the Day (A Literally Long Good Friday Edition)

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

Friday, March 29, 2024

This weekend on TCM:

My next TCM film to see is the late Mike Hodges’ 1971 Neo-noir triumph Get Carter which is reviewed as a Blu-ray recommendation here. Viewers can get Carter Saturday, March 30 at 3 pm PDT.

Michael Caine

The next film appearing in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley is 1954’s Pushover, reviewed here and making a rare showing Saturday, March 30 at 9:30 pm PDT and again Sunday, March 31 at 7 am PDT.

Fred MacMurray, Kim Novak

This last TCM recommendation for the month is indeed The Last Picture Show, one of the most astute explorations of small town American life, and previously reviewed here. This is one of the finest films of the ‘70s and can be seen Saturday, March 30 at 11:15 pm PDT.
