Turner Classic Movies, Jan. 2019

A pretty good line-up of classic films in January, including several by Anthony Mann (I especially like The Black Book, 1949, a film noir about the French Revolution, with exquisite cinematography by John Alton, on Jan. 8); Michael Curtiz's The Breaking Point, 1950, on the 25th; John Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln, 1939, on the 11th; Douglas Sirk's All That Heaven Allows, 1955, on the 20th; Nicholas Ray's In a Lonely Place, 1950, on the 25th; and several films by the great Ernst Lubitsch on the 29th, including Ninotchka, 1939,

Other films include Leo McCarey's elegant comedy The Awful Truth,1937, on January 1 and two off-beat Westerns on Jan. 4:  Sam Peckinpah's The Ballad of Cable Hogue and Joseph Mankiewicz's There Was a Crooked Man, both from 1970.

If you have any questions about any other films on Turner in Jan. please feel free to contact me.
