Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)

Friday May 3, 2024

This weekend on TCM:

Dark Passage (1947) is a wildly engrossing film noir that combines the best of romance with the best of noir in the best location for both: San Francisco. Previously endorsed as a Blu-Ray release here, Bogart will make his dark (rite of) passage in Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley on Saturday, May 4 at 9:15 pm PDT and again on Sunday, May 5 at 7 am PDT.

That’s Humphrey Bogart as Vincent Parry standing at the crossroads of Greenwich Street (behind him leading to Coit Tower) and Hyde where he will soon board the Hyde cable car. This will take him to its final stop: the turntable turnaround at Powell Street and Market (seen below).

After directing Colorado Territory, Raoul Walsh’s very next film retained all of that film’s energy and even added some for White Heat (1949), previously reviewed here. TCM's screen will heat up Sunday, May 5 at 7:15 pm PDT.

TCM's current monthly schedule can be confirmed by clicking on any of the above images. For those who live in parts of the U.S. other than the western region, the time zone can be adjusted in the upper right-hand corner of TCM's programme.

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

Hope to see you Monday, May 6th.
