Dish of the Day (A Lost Weekend Edition)
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Friday, January 10, 2024
This weekend on TCM:
The unmissable Busby Berkeley extravaganza Footlight Parade (1933), is a previous TCM recommendation here. Let the show begin Saturday, January 11 at 9 am PST.
Musical numbers created by Busby Berkeley
Barbara Stanwyck stars as a devoted wife trying to save her husband (played by Barry Sullivan) but equally determined to match wits against killer Ralph Meeker in order to do so, in the previously recommended (here) noir, 1953's Jeopardy. This life or death struggle will commence Saturday, January 11 at 11 am PST.
Ralph Meeker, Barbara Stanwyck
My enthusiasm for the next film may be “icier” than say Howard Hughes’, however, viewers may find enough intrigue, suspense and supportive factors to make the journey to Ice Station Zebra (1968), previously reviewed here and commencing at TCM Saturday, January 11 at 12:30 pm PST, worth their while.
