Once again, a highly selective choice of some of my favorite movies on TCM, where movies are shown in the proper aspect ratio, uncut and uninterrupted.
The Party, April 4. Blake Edwards's brilliant use of silence and the wide-screen to produce a subtle and wonderful comedy
Her Sister's Secret, April 12. Edgar Ulmer's low-budget erotic soap opera.
Umbrellas of Cherbourg, April 12. Jacques Demy's brightly-colored soap opera, in which every word is sung.
French CanCan and The Golden Coach, April 12. Two magnificent films of color and beauty by Jean Renoir.
Moonfleet, April 16. An elegant period piece by Fritz Lang.
Woman on the Beach, April 16. A fascinatingly bizarre film by Renoir, made in America.

Kiss Me Deadly, April 20. Robert Aldrich's film noir about the deadly politics of the 50's.

Some Came Running, April 24. Exquisite Minnelli melodrama.
Night Moves, April 27. Superbly obscure Arthur Penn detective drama.
