Greetings, fellow TCM fans. Our very favorite time of the year is almost here.
This year’s Summer Under the Stars lineup starts on Sunday, Aug 1 with 24 hours of films starring the legendary Bette Davis. The fun starts at 6 am ET with Bette’s fine performance in the gangster expose Marked Woman (1937) and continues with a blockbuster prime time schedule: Old South saga Jezebel (1938) at 8 pm ET, and the excellent historical mystery All This, and Heaven Too (1940) at 10 pm ET.
SUTS continues throughout August with stars such as ‘30s favorite Kay Francis (Aug. 9), noir icon Gloria Grahame (Aug. 17), and all-time great James Cagney (Aug. 30) in the lineup. Here’s the best of the rest for the week of July 29.
Double Wedding (1937) at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 pm PT Thursday, July 29: TCM is celebrating William Powell’s 129th birth date (Powell was born July 29, 1892, in Pittsburgh) with a daytime lineup of his films, which gives viewers an excellent chance to catch a few screwballs with Powell’s frequent costar Myrna Loy. Another Powell-Loy rom-com, Love Crazy (1941), is airing at 1:45 pm ET.
Blade Runner (1982) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Friday, July 30: The final night of neo-noir films includes director Ridley Scott’s science-fiction classic about a loner (Harrison Ford) who is tracking human replicants in a dystopian society. A cult classic upon its release, the film has since went on to become perhaps the most influential film of the '80s. It’s not a traditional crime movie, but it was heavily influenced by classic film noir in both plot and style (everything in the future happens in the night and/or in the rain, apparently).
Hollow Triumph (1948) at 12:30 pm ET/9:30 pm PT Saturday night/Sunday morning: Noir Alley will be on break throughout August, but you can bid it a fond farewell with this excellent thriller starring Paul Henreid as a notorious criminal who poses as a psychiatrist.
FYI: Hollow Triumph won’t have an encore presentation on Sunday morning, so you’ll have to stay up late on Saturday or set the DVR.
We love the new TV Series Feud: Bette and Joan! The two great Classic Hollywood women got something in common: both loved dogs. Here’s Bette Davis with her scottish terrier Tibby.
