Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, April 12, 2024
This weekend on TCM:
MGM's 1952 musical Singin' in the Rain was not adapted from a theatrical production, though the film was later turned into one, being first presented on stage in 1983. Its abundant creativity, innovation and driving energy place this film at the top of all cinematic musicals ever produced. Singin' in the Rain has been reviewed as a past Blu-ray selection here and will joyously dance its way onto TCM Saturday, April 13 at 9 am PDT and again on Monday, April 15 at 5 pm PDT.
Make way for the rapturous Stanley Donen directed musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), reviewed here, Saturday, April 13 at 11 am PDT.
TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on either of the above images. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.
All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.
Hope to see you Monday, April 15th.
