Today on TCM:


Next up are 2 films directed by Stanley Kubrick playing back-to-back:

Stanley Kubrick took the entire film community, along with noir fans, by (a perfect) storm with his innovative 1956 take on the caper genre, The Killing previously recommended here. "The best-laid plans..." will be presented on TCM Wednesday, July 24 at 5 pm PDT. 

That's actually Rodney Dangerfield in the crowd (Standing on the ground, second from the right).

After directing the stylish and innovative 1956 heist film The Killing, Stanley Kubrick, with the assistance of Producer James B. Harris, turned his extraordinary talents to more relevant material with Paths of Glory (1957). The results were astonishing. U.S. TCM subscribers can discover for themselves Wednesday, July 24 at 6:30 pm 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.
