A Very Brady Christmas

FETV, 3 pm

Paramount Television/Courtesy: Everett Collection.

In this ’80s film, the Brady children are all grown up, and getting everyone home for Christmas takes more planning than it used to. Robert Reed and Florence Henderson return as Mike and Carol in this 1988 reunion movie, with Ann B. Davis back as Alice. Their six children have work and relationship problems to sort out, even as their parents look forward to having the family together. Most of the original cast returned, but longtime viewers will notice a different Cindy. Jennifer Runyon took over the role from Susan Olsen, the only one of the original six Brady children who did not return for this movie.

Gems From the Selznick Library: Part 1

TCM, 8 pm

TCM begins its look at newly restored films from the David O. Selznick library with Gone to Earth (1950), directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Jennifer Jones plays Hazel Woodus, a young woman in the English countryside pursued by a clergyman (Cyril Cusack) and a squire (David Farrar). The film’s history is nearly as dramatic as its story. Producer Selznick recut it for release as The Wild Heart (1952), making changes to the original negative that complicated later restoration work. Walt Disney Studios, in association with The Film Foundation, has now restored the original version, with Thelma Schoonmaker supervising. The new restoration gives viewers a chance to see the filmmakers’ Technicolor photography of Shropshire as they intended.

TCM Spotlight: Leaders of the Band

TCM, beginning at 8 pm

20th Century Fox Film Corp./courtesy Everett Collection

Glenn Miller and his orchestra lead off tonight’s musical lineup with Sun Valley Serenade (1941), starring Sonja Henie and John Payne. Dorothy Dandridge and the Nicholas Brothers join in the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” number, a good reason to catch this one even if you have seen it before. Miller’s orchestra returns in Orchestra Wives (1942), which features “At Last.” The song was originally intended for the earlier film, but its full vocal performance was saved for the follow-up. Birth of the Blues (1941) follows, before Girl Crazy (1943), Strike Up the Band (1940) and Pot o’ Gold (1941) continue the music into the morning.

Star of the Month: Burt Lancaster

TCM, beginning at 2:30 pm

Everett Collection

Burt Lancaster plays a newspaper columnist, a soldier, and even a trapeze artist during this afternoon and evening of his films. Vengeance Valley (1951) and Ten Tall Men (1951) start the lineup, followed by Sweet Smell of Success (1957), with Lancaster as a ruthless columnist and Tony Curtis as a press agent seeking his favor. From Here to Eternity (1953), which won eight Oscars, follows. Later films include Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), Come Back, Little Sheba (1952), Trapeze (1956) and Jim Thorpe: All American (1951). Trapeze gave Lancaster a chance to draw on his early work as an acrobat with childhood friend Nick Cravat, though doubles handled some of the more dangerous stunts.

Veterans Day Marathon

MOVIES!, beginning at 6 am

20th Century Fox Film Corp./Courtesy Everett Collection.

Hollywood has an important role to play on Veterans Day, when the nation turns its attention to honoring the sacrifice and service of our military members past and present. A daylong lineup of distinguished films begins with 1963’s PT 109, a rousing account of John F. Kennedy’s exploits aboard a patrol torpedo boat in World War II’s Pacific theater. Cliff Robertson stars as Kennedy in a movie that was released just five months before the president’s assassination. World War II remains the focus throughout the marathon, which continues with the Best Picture Oscar winner The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), a moving drama about the struggles of servicemen returning home from the war, and 1962’s epic The Longest Day, reliving the events of D-Day with an all-star cast including John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum and Robert Wagner, with cameos by popular singers Paul Anka, Tommy Sands and Fabian. 1970’s Tora! Tora! Tora! then dramatizes the events of Pearl Harbor. Two films starring William Holden follow: 1957’s The Bridge on the River Kwai, another Best Picture Oscar winner, is set in a Japanese prison camp, while 1953’s Stalag 17, which won Holden a Best Actor Oscar, takes place within the confines of a German POW camp. The tribute ends overnight with 1958’s The Young Lions, starring Marlon Brando as a disillusioned German soldier and Dean Martin and Montgomery Clift as U.S. recruits.

Veterans Day on TCM

TCM, beginning at 8 pm

John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Patricia Neal lead the cast of In Harm’s Way (1965), the first of three war dramas airing for Veterans Day. Otto Preminger’s film follows naval officers through the attack on Pearl Harbor and the fighting in the Pacific. David Lean’s The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) follows, with Alec Guinness as a British officer leading fellow prisoners who are ordered to build a bridge for their Japanese captors. Guinness won an Oscar for the role, one of the film’s seven Academy Awards. Later, The Deer Hunter (1978) follows Pennsylvania steelworkers whose lives are changed by the Vietnam War. An installment of MGM Parade (1955) ends the lineup.

Robert Mulligan’s films fill the evening, beginning with Love With the Proper Stranger (1963). Natalie Wood plays a salesclerk who becomes pregnant after a brief encounter with a musician played by Steve McQueen. Wood earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance. Come September (1961) follows, before Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda play lovers who meet once a year in Same Time, Next Year (1978). Later comes The Man in the Moon (1991), with Reese Witherspoon as a teenager experiencing first love. The film introduced Witherspoon to movie audiences and was Mulligan’s last feature, giving it a special place in both of their careers. Up the Down Staircase (1967) closes the lineup.

Happy Friday the 13th

TCM, beginning at 10 am

Everett Collection

TCM gives the number 13 its time to shine today, beginning with Thirteen Women (1932) and The Thirteenth Chair (1937). Francis Ford Coppola’s early horror film Dementia 13 (1963) follows, before The Woman on Pier 13 (1949), 13 Frightened Girls (1963) and William Castle’s 13 Ghosts (1960). Castle gave the original theatrical audience an extra reason to be nervous: special “ghost viewers” that let people choose whether to see the spirits. The process was called “Illusion-O,” one of the publicity gimmicks that became part of the fun of his films. The mystery The Hour of 13 (1952) finishes the lineup.

Gems From the Selznick Library: Part 2

TCM, beginning at 8 pm

Everett Collection

Two Alfred Hitchcock films produced by David O. Selznick and starring Gregory Peck get a fresh look as TCM presents restorations by Walt Disney Studios in association with The Film Foundation. First up is Spellbound (1945), which pairs Peck with Ingrid Bergman, who plays a psychiatrist trying to help an amnesiac who may be involved in a murder. Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí supplied the designs for the film’s unsettling dream sequence, giving viewers something quite unlike the usual Hollywood nightmare. Following is The Paradine Case (1947), with Peck as a married barrister whose attraction to his client (Alida Valli), a woman accused of poisoning her husband, threatens his judgment. The courtroom drama was Hitchcock’s final film for Selznick, and its supporting cast includes Charles Laughton and Ethel Barrymore.
