Upcoming TCM schedule

[Groggy]

It's pretty middle-of-the-road Hitchcock, which means its very good.

I enjoyed the 4th a lot.  The hole in my Hitchcock experience was The Birds, actually.  But I never miss a chance to see Vertigo again.  I think it's his capolavoro di tutti capi.  Love that Hermann score that sound so much like Tristan und Isolde.

A Thousand Clowns with Robards today at 8AM. Watch it. It's a masterpiece. Some Like it Hot and Wild Strawberries also on later.

  Late notice for today's schedule, but plenty of good westerns to watch starting with The Naked Spur, Ride the High Country (show more Peckinpah movies TCM!), and Hour of the Gun.  Western Union is on now, but I missed the first half hour, oops.

[Groggy]

TCM shows Ride the High Country like twice a day, doesn't it? They might as well call it the Steven Judd Channel.

TCM shows Ride the High Country like twice a day, doesn't it? They might as well call it the Steven Judd Channel.

  That sounds about right.  It's a good movie and all but Peckinpah did have other movies.  I'll give TCM credit, they have shown Major Dundee a handful of times, but what about The Wild Bunch, The Getaway, Junior Bonner?  Expand your horizons TCM!

  As for this week's schedule, there's some good westerns other than High Country.
5:15pm Wednesday eastern time  Stagecoach (1939)   
A group of disparate passengers battle personal demons and each other while racing through Indian country.
Cast: John Wayne, Claire Trevor, George Bancroft. Dir: John Ford. BW-96 mins, TV-G 

Thursday is a 70s western theme with Monte Walsh, the website says in LBX, Bad Company, A Man Called Horse, High Plains Drifter, and Posse with Kirk Douglas.

Opening TCM's Summer Under the Stars month, Friday is Michael Caine day with a good selection of his movies including The Billion Dollar Brain, a Harry Palmer movie, The Eagle Has Landed, The Battle of Britain, A Bridge too Far, and Zulu among others.

And then Saturday is Charlie Chaplin day, I know we've got some fans around here of Chaplin.

[Ben Tyreen]

 Tomorrow, Monday, is Jack Palance day with plenty of worthwhile movies, especially The Mercenary which was part of TCM's spaghetti-themed month five, six years ago.  If they use the same print, it's in widescreen so have the recorders ready.  The western-part of the day starts at 9 pm central with Monte Walsh, followed by The Professionals and then The Mercenary at 1 a.m.

[O'Cangaceiro]

Last time they broadcasted The Professionals was in wide screen (yup, I recorded it). 

[cigar joe]

Don't miss The Mercenary!

Don't miss The Mercenary!

It is already in my DVD collection.

Tonight at 8:00PM Eastern, Boetticher's "Decision at Sundown"  I've never seen it before, if you can pry yourself away from the election returns check it out.

[dave jenkins]

Gee, I'd like to see that . . .  but I don't have access to TCM just now. Good thing my Boetticher box set shipped already. Should be here soon, maybe even tomorrow.

[T.H.]

I'll be watching.
