This weekend on TCM:

The more psychologically disturbing, (than monstrously horrifying) 1941 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has Spencer Tracy in the title role. This was previously critiqued here. The Dr. will begin his transformation Saturday, October 17 at 1 pm PDT.

I have more to say on Spencer Tracy’s performance, compared to a few others who have played the same part, in an article seen here.

Spencer Tracy

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 musicals ever produced. Singin' in the Rain has been reviewed here as a Blu-ray selection and will dance its way onto TCM Sunday, October 18 at 8:45 am PDT.

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on either of the above images. To confirm the correct Pacific Daylight (West Coast) showtime information, subtract 3 hours from the Eastern Daylight (East Coast) showtime listed on TCM’s schedule.

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

Hope to see you Monday, October 19th.
