The Turner Classic Movies channel will be showing a few movies during July that are based on mystery authors from yester-year. There will be two S. S. Van Dine movies: The Kennel Murder Case with one of my favorite actors (William Powell) will be shown on Saturday, July 8 and The Casino Murder Case on Saturday, July 1. I’ve seen both of them several times, and will probably “tape” them on my YouTube TV device so that I can watch them again!
Also, if you’re a fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery movies, there will be four of them during July: Dial M for Murder (Sunday, July 16), The Girl Was Young (Tuesday, July 18), I Confess (Tuesday, July 25), and Foreign Correspondent (Saturday, July 2).
Barbara Stanwyck (probably my all-time favorite Golden Age of Hollywood actress (except for Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and a few others!) will be featured in four mystery movies this month on the Turner Classic Movies channel: Jeopardy (Tuesday, July 11), The Mad Miss Manton and Lady of Burlesque (Tuesday, July 18), and the must-see Double Indemnity (Saturday, July 29).
And, since Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley is back, be sure to catch the noir movies he picks to show on Saturdays at midnight and then later on Sunday mornings. I enjoy his intros and outros so much that sometimes I fast-forward through the movies to see his outros and then go back and watch the movies… sort of like when the suspense in a book is so intense that I can’t wait to the end of the book and find myself peeking at the last two chapters before going back to my place in the book.
P.S. I’m a little worried about what the future will hold for the Turner Classic Movies channel. The UK version of the channel is being shut down. The current news reports about TCM look a little bleak… Hopefully Warner is able to continue the channel here.
