If you happen to be a John Wayne fan, you should be excited about the 58 movies TCM will be airing. (I know my younger brother is looking forward to those movies. they will be airing them (mostly?) during April 21 and the 25th, which explains the fact that I don&#8217;t have very many mystery movies showing that week.<\/p>\n<p>Since they are celebrating an anniversary, they will be showing a few shows that might interest those of you who are especially interested in Hollywood&#8217;s Golden era. I have annotated some of those movies. As usual, I have included a few movies that are not mysteries, but that I particularly enjoy, and think some of you might also enjoy seeing them.<\/p>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">April 2014 Turner Classic Movies Channel Mystery Movies (Central time zone):<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h2>Tuesday &#8211; April 1, 2014<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">9:30 AM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE NITWITS<\/strong> (1935)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Two cigar-stand attendants get mixed up in a murder investigation.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: George Stevens Cast: Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Fred Keating.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">BW-82 mins<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">12:30 PM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE PINK PANTHER<\/strong> (1964)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">In the first Inspector Clouseau film, the bumbling French police detective tries to stop a notorious jewel thief from nabbing a princess&#8217; diamond.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Blake Edwards Cast: David Niven, Peter Sellers, Capucine.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">C-115 mins, CC, Letterbox Format<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">2:30 PM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE TWELVE CHAIRS<\/strong> (1970)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">A fallen aristocrat, a priest and a con artist search for a treasure of jewels hidden inside one of twelve dining chairs.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Mel Brooks Cast: Ron Moody, Frank Langella, Dom DeLuise.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">C-93 mins, CC, Letterbox Format<\/span><\/p>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Wednesday &#8211; April 2, 2014<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">11:00 AM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE SCAPEGOAT<\/strong> (1959)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">A man is tricked into trading places with a look-alike nobleman with murderous plans.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Robert Hamer Cast: Alec Guinness, Bette Davis, Nicole Maurey.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">BW-92 mins, CC, Letterbox Format<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">12:45 PM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS<\/strong> (1949)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">An ambitious young man sets out to kill everyone who stands between him and a fortune.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Robert Hamer Cast: Alec Guinness, Dennis Price, Joan Greenwood.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">BW-106 mins, CC<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">2:45 PM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE LAVENDER HILL MOB<\/strong> (1951)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">An overlooked gold transporter with twenty years service plots to steal a million pounds of gold.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Charles Crichton Cast: Alec Guinness, Stanley Holloway, Sidney James.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">BW-81 mins, CC<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">7:00 PM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>THE LADYKILLERS<\/strong> (1955)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">An eccentric bandit gang moves into a little old lady&#8217;s boardinghouse to plot a major heist.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Alexander Mackendrick Cast: Alec Guinness, Cecil Parker, Herbert Lom.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">C-91 mins, CC, Letterbox Format<\/span><\/p>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Thursday &#8211; April 3, 2014<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">7:00 AM<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><strong>LOVER COME BACK<\/strong> (1961)<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">An ad exec in disguise courts his pretty female competitor.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Dir: Delbert Mann Cast: Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">C-107 mins, CC, Letterbox Format<br \/>\n***OK, I guess I should disclose that I am a Doris Day\/Rock Hudson comedies fan.
