This weekend on TCM:

Sadly, still another incredible performer from The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968) has been lost to us, this time its star, Alan Arkin (March 26, 1934 - June 29, 2023 R.I.P.), such a substantial loss to the acting community. Here is where viewers will discover why. A previous TCM recommendation here, movie lovers can realise a wealth of emotion by tuning in Sunday, July 14 at 3 am PDT.

Alan Arkin, Sondra Locke

Just letting viewers know that TCM will be showing Around the World in 80 Days (1956), previously reviewed here, on Sunday, July 14 at 1:45 pm PDT.

Another prior TCM recommendation is Robert Siodmak's expert 1949 film Criss Cross with Burt Lancaster and Yvonne De Carlo imbuing their characters with passion and complex individuality.

Criss Cross was previously reviewed here. It will cast its noirish spell on TCM Sunday, July 14 at 7 pm PDT.
