What to Catch on TCM This Week - July 29-August 4, 2018

I wish that TCM still did Foreign Film night and Pulp Movies night, some of the most unusual movies in cinema, but this week isn't bad at all, with Walter Matthau heading up the line up as a Transit Authority Police Lieutenant.

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 -  Zachary Garber has just had  one of his subway trains taken and a number of passengers held hostage. I'm a Walter Matthau fan and this is one of his best roles and one of my favorite. This film has great photography and the realism of the situation works really well. The supporting characters are very well written and add a lot to the story. All around this is a really good film, much better than the remake in 2009. Sunday, July 29th  12:00 A.M. MST. 

Period of Adjustment - A young Jane Fonda plays a newly wedded nurse that believes she has made a terrible mistake in marrying her husband and Lois Nettleton is having problems with her husband who married her for her money. The couples meet in a bar and counsel each other on their problems while trying to decide if it's worth working it all out. Just a sweet little comedy in which Jane Fonda learns how to develop characters for the big screen. Sunday, July 29th 4:00 P.M. MST.

The Idiot - One of Akira Kurosowa's longest running films and by far one of his best, (also the original cut has been missing for years and topped out at more than 200 minutes). Love and death and insanity plague Kurosawa's vision of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot. As I've said about other Kurosowa films, he just knows how to tell stories of humanity and suffering very well. Monday, July 30th 1:00 A.M. MST.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Ellyn Burstyn is a woman who has been left uncared for by her somewhat abusive husband after his sudden death in an auto accident. She sells everything she owns and loads her son and heads for Monterey, California to become a singer. This is one of Burstyn's best roles, so much so that it launched the T.V. show Alice starring Vic Tayback. Monday,  July 30th 8:00 P.M. MST. 

Ocean's Eleven - The whole Rat Pack is in this film, not as interesting as the remake, but still very good. It's a fun buddy film. My favorite in this is Sammy Davis, Jr. his character is the best. Tuesday, July 31st 1:15 A.M. MST.

It Happened at the World's Fair- This is where Elvis's dreams of becoming one of the top leading men and dramatic actors is really squished. Cute and quirky at first, the film has no real plot other than to make a woman fall for Elvis. It's the worst, but worth a mention because of it being filmed at the 1962 Century 21 Exposition held in Seattle. Tuesday, July 31st 8:00 P.M. MST.

The Graduate - Another film that I most undoubtedly saw way to early. Ben is home after graduating from college and not wanting to spend another 4 years on what he sees as a waste of time. He begins an affair with his father's law partner's wife, Mrs. Robinson, until he meets her daughter Elaine and falls in love with her and decides on his future, kind of. Catch a young Dustin Hoffman on Wednesday, August 1, 1:45 A.M. MST.

The Man with the Golden Arm - Frankie has just been released from a rehab hospital and armed with a new lease on life and a set of drums that he is determined to get a job playing drums in a band with, unfortunately Frankie's wife is pretending to be disabled to make him feel guilty and stay with her and keeps him trapped in their tiny apartment and tells him he will never make anything of himself and makes him turn back to his former self. Wednesday, August 1, 6:00 P.M. MST.

Libeled Lady - A somewhat silly comedy with a lot of beautiful ladies and a lot of fun! Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow play the women that run the men through their paces. Thursday, August 2nd 8:00 A.M. MST.

Mr.Blandings Builds His Dream House - Jim and his wife, Muriel decide to purchase a house in the Connecticut countryside, unfortunately nothing goes to plan and everything goes downhill. Cary Grant plays the husband suspicious of wife's intent. Thursday, August 2nd 4:15 A.M. MST.

Stamboul Quest - A pre-code spy film set in World War I with Myrna Loy as a German Agent that has fallen for a British Spy. Loy is beautiful in the film, able to get information not only by using her looks, but by using her very smart brain. George Brent plays her love interest that makes her turn her back on her country, kind of. It's a suspense filled love story worth the watch.Friday, August 3rd, 1:30 A.M. MST.

The Devil is a Woman - Conchita Rodriguez uses mean like most women use handkerchiefs, until she falls for the intriguing revolutionary Antonio and decides he's all she's ever wanted, that is until he is imprisoned for nearly killing her ex-lover. Marlene Dietrich is beguiling as Conchita and you can see why men throw their lives after her. Friday, August 3rd, 2:15 P.M. MST.


Every Which Way But Loose - Kelly's Heroes - Saturday is Clint Eastwood day on TCM. It starts with a classic Clit favorite Every Which Way But Loose (That I know we all watch for the orangutan), and followed up with classic westerns, Fist Full of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. I really enjoy old Clint Eastwood movies you know the ones before he went a little senile and said some crazy stuff on a stage, another topic for another day, I love the lightheartedness of Every Which Way But Loose and the idea that a guy like Philo would fall for a woman with no real substance. Saturday, August 4th 8:00 A.M - Sunday, August 5th 1:15 A.M MST.
 

What to Catch on TCM This Week - July 22-July 28, 2018

Interesting week on TCM, lots of horror and suspense, and Omnibus series thrown in for good measure. The Omnibus TV series with host Alistair Cooke was a long form discussion show on everything from theater to music. I like that TCM sees the value in Omnibus and is running different episodes mostly on Sunday and Saturday nights.

Omnibus: Leonard Bernstein - Starting off the series with Leonard Bernstein and the topic of Beethoven's 5th Symphony and ending with What Makes Opera Grand, Bernstein talks about the art of musicians and what makes it art. Sunday, June 22nd at 6:00 PM MST.

Godzilla - Everything was quiet off the shores of Odo island until three ships are mysteriously destroyed. Reporters show up to the island and the villagers do a dance to appease the beast that is going crazy under the sea. Godzilla is a horror film like no other, it was based on the terror of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. Many audience members felt for the victimization of  Godzilla and felt that he conveyed what America had done to Japan during World War II and how they had been affected in the aftermath of the war. It's interesting how Japan's cinema develops after WWII, there is a definite change, instead of telling stories of the warrior it now changes to a lot of stories about political defiance and getting back at severe oppression. Godzilla, King of the Monsters follows picking up where this film left off. Monday, June 23rd 4:00 A.M. MST.

Giant - A sweeping Western set in the Texas oil fields. Leslie Lynnton falls for wealthy Texas rancher, Bick, marries and sets up a very posh life in Texas. Jett, the local handyman falls for her and is left land by Bick's deceased sister and strikes it rich as it is filled with oil. A feud ensues over the years and love wans, but in the end things are put right. This was also James Dean's last role and one of his best. Monday, June 23rd 6:00 P.M. MST.

In Cold Blood - Based on the Clutter family murders in Holcomb, Kansas, that shocked the small town and scarred midwest towns for years to come, it's about what happened that night and the following trial of the murders Dick Hickock and Perry Smith. Robert Blake gives the best performance as Perry Smith, a man who has no clue what drove him to even murder the family besides depravity of humans. Tuesday, July 24th 12:30 P.M. MST.

Badlands - Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen turn in great performances as star crossed lovers Holly and Kit. The two teenagers are on the run after Kit kills Holly's father. Directed by Terrance Malick the photography of the film is beautiful showing off southeastern Colorado and the surrounding area. Tuesday, July 24th 6:00 P.M. MST.

A River Runs Through It - Based on the book by Norman Maclean based on his childhood in Missoula, Montana and learning the art of fly fishing from his father on the Blackfoot River. The story is mostly focused on the short life of Maclean's brother Paul, who died when they were young men. The cinematography of the film really tells the story of what it was like to grow up in Montana with all that it had to offer. I love the way that they've taken Maclean's somewhat sad story and turned it into such a beautiful tribute to life in Montana, Maclean's childhood and the memory of his brother. Although the movie is gorgeous the book is even better, my favorite passage from the book is, "Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding." Tuesday, July 24th 9:30 P.M. MST.  

Salt of the Earth - Based on the strike of 1951 in the small town of Grant County, New Mexico that is set in the fictional town of Zinc Town, New Mexico. The men strike and then are given an ultimatum from the company that if they strike they will lose their jobs, so the women strike for their husbands. It's a great story about standing up for your family, being a woman and trying to be seen as a human. Wednesday, July 25th 11:30 A.M. MST. 

Swing Shift - Goldie Hawn is a World War II wife that works in an armament factory while her husband is away in the war. She falls in love with another man and has a tumultuous affair and starts a friendship with her neighbor that her husband disapproves of, and becomes the shift leader of her section at the factory. It's a film about the realities of love and war. Wednesday, July 25th 2:30 P.M. MST. 

Tamango - Dorothy Dandridge stars as a slave that is mistress to the captain of a ship transporting slaves to Cuba from Africa. During the voyage a rebellious young slave named Tamango starts a revolt and is able to take over the ship. This movie was banned in the U.S. for breaking the Hays Code because of the interracial love scenes between Dandridge and her co-star Curd Jurgens. 

The Thomas Crown Affair- Starting with The Thomas Crown Affair the evening starts off with Steve McQueen films as he is TCM's Star of the Month. Followed by The Getaway, Papillion, and An Enemy of the People. The Getaway is my favorite with Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw as a couple on the lam after a bank robbery gone wrong. Thursday, July 26th 6:00 P.M. MST. 

The Great Santini - I can remember watching this movie on a Saturday afternoon with my dad in his workshop and I remember being in awe of Robert Duvall's character in this movie. Duvall plays a hard as nails Marine pilot that runs his family like the Marines, unfortunately his son is a little sensitive and an underdog at school, making quick friends with a young black man named Toomer. It's a great story about dealing with life as a soldier with no war. Friday, July 27th 8:00 P.M. MST. 

The Prince of Tides - A man falls in love and has an affair with his suicidal sister's psychologist. This movie is so sad, especially the past of Nick Nolte and his character's sister, it's so sad that what happened to them when they were children by a sadistic group of men tore their lives apart. It's shot beautifully and Nolte and Streisand play off each other very well. Friday, July 27th 10:15 P.M. 

It All Came Together - A gangster uses a homey boarding house as a hideout and gets to know the residences. It's a sweet comedy with Bogart cracking                                                                               jokes and helping old ladies. Saturday, July 28th 4:15                                                                             P.M. MST.                                               . 

What to Catch on TCM This Week - July 15-July 21 2018

 This week TCM has a tribute to teen heart throb Tab Hunter, as much as you might want to dismiss Tab as a teen soap actor he wasn't he was something of an ingima. Hunter was hiding in Hollywood, living life between two worlds; one that he never mentioned and never allowed anyone in and being a Hollywood heartthrob and working on his craft every minute of the day. I hope that everyone finds something on TCM to watch and enjoys it this week. If you don't catch a film at the listed you can download the TCM app and watch it at your leisure.

Meet John Doe - Angry that she is still forced to write one more column after being fired, Journalist Ann Mitchell decides to print a letter from a disenfranchised man named John Doe, threatening to commit suicide on Christmas Eve in protest of how society treats men like him. Turns out that the letter and the man have been made up by Ann to get back at the paper. Next to It's a Wonderful Life, this is one of Frank Capra's best films and Gary Cooper shines as every man "John Doe." Sunday, July 15th 5:45 A.M. MST.

The Apartment - Trying to get ahead in his career, insurance man Bud, loans his apartment to four executives for them to carry out their extramarital affairs. Bud becomes involved with one of the women that an executive is having an affair. Once again Jack Lemmon plays Billy Wilder's straight man in perfect harmony with the director bringing forth the comedy on a very serious subject. Sunday July 15th 1:15 P.M. MST.

Vivre Sa Vie (My Life to Live)-  A French New Wave film from director Jean -Luc Godard, a young wife and mother leaves her son to go into acting only to end up a prostitute. Shot in the cinema verite style of documentary films, this film feels very personal, a feeling that Godard really liked to implement in his films. Sunday, July 16th 12:15 A.M. MST.


Clash by Night - After a her lover dies, Mae returns home to Monterey, where things get somewhat boring for her and then she once again destroys her world. Barbara Stanwyck is once again the lead in this interesting take on Clifford Odet's play. Monday, July 16th 10:15 A.M. MST.

Some Came Running - Based on the James Jones novel of the same name, this Frank Sinatra led film is a look at the human condition and how anger can fuel our lives if we let it. Sinatra gives an amazing performance as the conflicted about life Dave Hirsh and received some of the greatest criticism of his acting career for this roll. Monday, July 16th 11:15 P.M. MST.



A Face in the Crowd - This is my favorite Kazan film and my favorite role that Andy Griffith reprises. Larry Rhodes is so opposite of what we expect of Griffith, and yet he plays it so well you almost believe a big part of him is Rhodes, which really is the point, it's like the old saying goes, total power can corrupt completely. Tuesday, July 17th 11:00 P.M. MST

Cat On A Hot Tin Roof - Maggie is trapped in a sexless and loveless marriage to Brick, who wants to live in the past. Part of the problem with the marriage is the suicide of Brick's best friend and confident, Skipper. It was a decent retelling of the Tennessee Williams play, unfortunately if you've read or seen a stage production, you'll know that the relationship between Brick and Skipper is so down played it doesn't really make sense why Brick is so upset by Skipper's death. Paul Newman gives a great performance and Elizabeth Taylor stuns, even though she turned in the performance right after her beloved husband, Mike Todd's death. Wednesday, July 18th 12:15 A.M. MST.

Gone With the Wind - Spoiled Scarlett O'Hara has the rug pulled out from under her world when the love of her life marries another woman and the man she married to make him jealous dies during the Civil War. She has to save her childhood home from destruction and vows to do whatever it takes to make it a success again. She also falls for and breaks the heart of Rhett Butler, living in a tragic romance. A wonderful performance from Hattie McDaniels as Mamie, the woman that raised Scarlett and hoped that she would turn out better than she does. Wednesday, July 18th 6:00 P.M. MST.

A Raisin in the Sun - Based on the beautifully written play by Lorraine Hansberry, Sidney Poitier turns in one of his best performances as Walter Lee Younger a man that only wants for his family to not have to struggle anymore. Thursday, July 19th 1:45 A.M. MST

Bullitt - Containing the seminal car chase scenes ever filmed, Bullitt is the film that made Steve McQueen a star, and most of that is because of the car that is destroyed in the film a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T. It's sad to see something so beautiful destroyed but the scene is gorgeous. Thursday, July 19th 8:00 P.M. MST.

The Girl He Left Behind - Andy Schaeffer's grades are so bad that he is being drafted into the Army. His girlfriend is none to happy about it but wasn't too happy in the relationship before he was drafted. Set up to start Tab Hunter and Natalie Wood as a screen team, they work wonderful as a couple deeply in love but not sure how far they really want to go in the relationship, Friday July 20th 12:00 P.M. MST.

Dreamscape - By far one of the far out sci-fi/horror films I've ever seen, I always remember this film. It was odd and scary and I once again probably viewed it way to young that it made quite an impression on me. David Patrick Kelly was terrifying as the psychic psychopath that dream hops terrifying all who try to stop him. Max Von Sydow puts in a great performance as Dennis Quaid's natural psychic's mentor. For whatever reason, I just liked this film, yes the graphics are a little cheesy, even for 1984, but in a really good way. Saturday, July 21st 12:30 A.M.

The Night Visitor - An axe murder has just escaped from an insane asylum and is set on revenge because he thinks that he was framed for murder. Max von Sydow is creepy as the escaped mental patient that you're not sure if he's sane or completely crazy. Trevor Howard puts in a decent performance as the man that believes the accused may be innocent. Saturday, July 21st 2:15 A.M. MST.

The Leonard Bernstein Centennial is being celebrated by the New York Philharmonic by playing his music from the years 1958, 1959, 1966, and 1967- One of the most celebrated conductor's in the world, Bernstein conducts some of his best pieces in these filmed concerts. My favorite is the Toast to Vienna in 3/4 time. Bernstein was known for the music of West Side Story and On the Town, but nothing compares with the work that he did with the New York Philharmonic. Saturday, July 21st 6:00 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. MST.

Pho

It really doesn't matter what time of year, day etc. that it is, if you mention Pho to me, we're going. It's probably one of the simplest but most complex foods I've ever eaten. I feel in love with it years ago and it seeped it's way into my soul.

Brisket, tendon, chicken, tripe, meatballs and seafood have littered my bowls on South Federal in Denver. Some of the best Pho places that I've been to have been only doors away from my house most of my life. Even though I've moved to another suburb miles away from Federal, there are still two Pho restaurants within walking distance of my front door.Of course there is always one that is better than the other, the one I prefer is Pho 95 in the Southglenn shopping center just up from the movie theater. The broth is fantastically flavorful without an overpowering taste of onion. The place up my street isn't bad but the broth is cloudy and there are some flavors missing. The place in Southglenn also has some great rice and noodle dishes if you don't want Pho, but I digress this is all about the Pho.

I feel in love with Pho about 20 years ago when an ex-boyfriend took me. At first all I would try was the chicken Pho, my 20 year old self didn't know what I was missing out on by just having the chicken until late one night we stopped for a bowl after a night of drinking and they were out of chicken. I got talked into trying brisket and meatball, and really haven't looked back at chicken Pho unless I'm really sick and then I'll eat that. My favorite combination has become brisket, flank and tendon, I've tried the meatball but for me I prefer the tendon and some restaurants just do not make a good meatball. As much as I love other Asian cuisines, like Thai, their just is nothing that compares to the warm bowl of noodles, meats and fresh cilantro, chilis and onions.There's just something magical about Pho. It could be that it comes from street but it's the most nutritious food ever, it was meant to nurture the masses.

As simple as a dish as Pho is, it also has a complex history. It is the national dish of Vietnam, however where it came from is a mystery of sorts. For sure it became popularized in the Hanoi region of northern Vietnam. Like a lot of other Vietnamese cuisine Pho, was more than likely influenced by the French when they colonized most of Vietnam in the late 1880s and most of Vietnamese food is derived from the French, with a Vietnamese twist. Like Banh Mi sandwiches are definitely a combination of both worlds combining to make something that is uniquely Vietnamese. The baguette and cheese are the French influence, and the meat and vegetables are the Vietnamese contributions to these great sandwiches. my favorite is thinly sliced pork with cheese, cucumber, cilantro, mayo and chili sauce. Seriously if you can get your hands on one, try it, so worth eating the bread. Even if it is just a shredded pork Banh Mi, try it. Banh Mis and Pho are amazing.

There is just something comforting about a big bowl of noodles with various meats, chilis, onions, cilantro and bean sprouts with a little hoisin, chili and fish sauce that just makes everything in the world that much better. I had never thought about the food that was in my own backyard until someone else shock my box, now it's what I crave all the time. It might be what is really driving me to want to visit Vietnam and Thailand. Since I was young I have wanted to go to Thailand, but it's become a burning desire as of late. Perhaps both countries are close on my horizon.

  

What To Catch on TCM This Week - July 3-July 7, 2018

This is a little late this week mostly because I have been a little sick and this is a crazy week on TCM and I've had a particularly bad time pairing it down so I decided to wait until today and post. TCM is having another interesting week by throwing a few curve balls in the usual fair. There is a lot of Sci-Fi and Beach Blanket movies going on with a lot classic movies going on.

How To Stuff A Wild Bikini - One of the last beach party films to star Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, and really this film is the reason why beach party films went away. Frankie Avalon had outgrown the genre and besides the premise was insanely ridiculous and the acting mundane. I have a hard time believing that Mickey Rooney was involved in this movie but there he is, of course he was a known womanizer and he was also in Breakfast at Tiffany's so maybe not so much a hard idea that he's in such a fluff movie. But this is a fluff movie and silly, really silly. Tuesday, July 3rd, 12:00 P.M. MST.

King Kong - In my opinion nothing beats this movie, hands down the best of all the great ape movies. It breaks my heart every time the big guy dies at the end, I'm a sap for this movie. It's also kind of unrealistic, how do you really keep a huge ass ape sedated on a ship for that long journey home? Right there animal abuse! But that abuse doesn't stop that ape from falling for Faye Wray, he just wanted to keep her safe he never wanted to hurt her, he was like Elymra in Tiny Toon Adventures! All he wanted to do was to hold her and cuddle her and keep her with him forever! Which I get with his big hands and anxiety for planes and being shot at from said planes wasn't a great idea but still, they killed an ape for being in love. Couldn't they have come up with a better idea? I never understood why they couldn't lure him down and away from the city and sedate him again, they did it before right? Anyway, it's on Tuesday, June 3rd, 6 P.M. MST.

On The Waterfront - One of my favorite Brando roles, next to Paul in Last Tango in Paris, which I have no clue why it's my favorite, but he plays the lost boxer so well, you can tell that his character genuinely regrets giving up what he loved so well for a quick buck and a favor. It's also introspective of what life is like for dockworkers and what it's like to be locked into that life. Eva Marie Saint is wonderful as Brando's would be girlfriend if only he hadn't of played a bigger role in her brother's death. The turmoil in Kazan's story is beautifully told in such a hard way, right from the beginning you know why this film is so acclaimed, it hits on the humanity of real life instead of portraying life through rose colored glasses it just gives you the reality. Tuesday, July 3rd at 8 P.M. MST.

America America- Another of Eli Kazan's films, if you haven't noticed I am a big Kazan fan, with my favorite two being Baby Doll and A Face In the Crowd. Adapted from Kazan's novel of the same name, it's about a man who wants with ever fiber of his being to go to America. It's what keeps him going, the dream of America. It shows what people will do to get to our shores for a decent chance at life. That's all that they really want is a chance. The end scene is worth sitting through the whole movie and makes you realize what the Statue of Liberty is there for, she's the biggest symbol of hope for immigrants and Americans. Wednesday, July 4th. 7:30 A.M. MST.

1776 - The title it self is explanatory, it's about America's revolution and how the Continental Congress led us to becoming the nation that we have become. Although there are many, many historical inaccuracies in this film, still kind of worth the watch, just be aware of the many inaccuracies, like Adams being obnoxious, when in reality he was most respected and well liked members of the congress. Plus it's a musical....Can't help it there have been a lot of musicals on TCM lately and no matter how I try, I end up with at least one every week. Wednesday, July 4th, 8:15 P.M. MST.

Excuse My Dust - Red Skelton leads in this movie about a guy that invents a "horseless" carriage that starts to drive his girl's stable out of business. It has a car race and did I mention Red Skeleton? It's worth it just for the laughs. Thursday, July 5th, 4 A.M. MST.

The Great Race - Jack Lemmon once again proves why he is one of the funniest and enigmatic actors of the century. A race around the world and the love of a great woman is what spurs this film on. It's great for laughs and there's a polar bear scene! So why not watch this for kicks? Thursday, July 5th, 1:15 P.M. MST.

Somebody Up There Likes Me - Based on the life of fighter Rocky Graziano, this film starts with his childhood and ends with him winning the title fight against Tony Zale. It's notable as one of Paul Newman's first lead roles and one of Steve McQueen's first films. Also James Dean was supposed to play Rocky but died in a tragic automobile accident right before filming began, if he had been in this film it might have been one of his most notable roles. Friday, July 6th, 12:15 A.M. MST.

Forbidden Planet - This film sets the stage for the future of science fiction films and the genre as a whole. It's a great film and done well about a group of people sent to find out what is happening on the far away land of Altair IV that was colonized years earlier. A young Leslie Nielsen is the Captain of the ship that investigates the mysterious planet. My question, why did they keep Robby the Robot? Friday, July 6th, 7:30 A.M. MST.

2001:A Space Odyssey - I remember watching this for the first time when I was 10 and from then on I was afraid that computers would take over and honestly in a way they have, although not in the way that HAL wanted them to. Beautifully shot by Geoffrey Unsworth this masterpiece pulls you in with the scenery and the lack of a real soundtrack. This is Stanley Kubrick's long lasting legacy, a tribute to his film making. There is nothing that he got wrong about space. Friday, July 6th, 1:15 P.M. MST.

I'm Gonna Get You Sucka - Jack Spade has returned from war to Any Ghetto, U.S.A. and finds that his brother and the neighborhood is overdosing on OG, or gold chains. Kung Fu, a pimp or two and a Mr.Big bring this blaxploitation film to fruition.Keenen Ivory Wayans directorial debut and one of the best things he ever did. Saturday, July 7th, 12:30 A.M. MST

The Searchers - Ethan Edwards returns from war and after his brother's family is murdered by Comanches and his niece is kidnapped. Ethan searches with for relentlessly and finally finds her living as a Comanche and does not want to return to her old life. Deciding that murdering her would be a far better thing than seeing her live among the natives, he tries to kill her. Based on the book by Alan Le May  and influenced by the kidnapping of Cynthia Ann Parker by Comanche Indians in 1836, this movie is thought provoking and makes you think about the bigger picture in terms of our American story, it points directly to our racism. Saturday, July 7th, 2:00 P.M. MST.

Party Girl - Beautiful Cyd Charisse does some wonderful dance numbers and makes her very cliche part as a dance girl for hire work in this movie. It's a basic film noir with no real twists and turns, but it's a beautifully stunning film, the clothes and Cyd Charisse are worth the watch. Saturday, July 7th, 10 P.M. MST.
