This weekend on TCM:

If I was in charge of choosing a single film noir for someone only willing to see one in the entire canon, I would select Double Indemnity (1944) as its most fulfilling and accomplished representative. It has been previously reviewed in Opening Up a Treasure: Double Indemnity. Thoughts of adultery, greed and murder will manifest themselves on TCM Sunday, August 25th at 5 pm PDT.

TCM's current “Summer of the Stars” schedule can be confirmed by clicking on the above TCM image. Only the “Summer of the Stars” East Coast setting is currently reliable. For the correct West Coast or PDT showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the film’s East Coast or EDT airtime.

All responses are not only welcomed but encouraged in the comments section below.

Hope to see you Monday, August 26th.
