TCM has an excellent series of classical movies in August, including the films of Gene Kelly, Elvis Presley, Orson Welles, Greta Garbo, Clint Eastwood, Spencer Tracy, Constance Bennett and Peter Sellers. Many of these films I have recommended previously but if you have questions about any of them please send me an e-mail and I will respond.
The highlights of August include:
Aug. 2: Howard Hawks's Only Angels Have Wings (1939), the best civilian aviation film.
Aug. 8: W.S. Van Dyke's Tarzan the Ape Man (1932)
Aug. 15: Mark Sandrich's Follow the Fleet, one of the best Astaire/Rogers films; Budd Boetticher's beautiful Western Ride Lonesome (1959)
Aug. 16: Andre DeToth's The Bounty Hunter (1954)
Aug. 17: Fritz Lang's Fury (1936)
Aug. 27: John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle (1950) and Howard Hawks's Monkey Business (1952)
Aug. 28: Fritz Lang's Clash by Night (1952) and Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959)
Aug. 30: Raoul Walsh's boisterous Gentleman Jim (1942)
