Nov. 2016 Turner Classic Movies.

Nov. 3 has Hitchcock’s Jamaica Inn (1939) and the original The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) as well as Arthur Penn’s very 70’s Night Moves (1975) and Preston Sturges’s cynical political film The Great McGinty (1940)

On the 5^th is Sergio Leone’s Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 1968) with its evocative Ennio Morricone score.

On the 6^th is Rudolph Mate’s fatalistic and fascinating film noir D.O.A. (1950)

The 7^th has Otto Preminger’s great film about American politics Advise and Consent (1962) and Hitchcock’s Saboteur (1942).

On the 8^th is Chaplin’s late reflective and moving Limelight (1952) and Anthony Mann’s period film noir The Black Book (1949).

The 9^th has Chaplin’s first feature, the sad and funny The Kid (1921) and Leo McCarey’s lovely comedy/soap-opera Love Affair (1939)

On the 10^th is Mervyn LeRoy’s uncompromising film about a lynching They Won’t Forget (1937) and Jame Whale’s impressive The Invisible Man (1933)

The 11^th had King Vidor’s beautiful film about culture clash The Bird of Paradise (1932) and John Ford’s The Searchers (1956), his greatest Western.

On the 12^th is Whale’s The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and the 13^th has Richard Fleischer’s taut thriller The Narrow Margin (1952).

On the 14^th is an important early documentary by Robert Flaherty Nanook of the North (1922) and on the 15^th is Howard Hawks’s intense Western Rio Bravo (1959).

On the 17^th is Raoul Walsh’s Sea Devils (1955) and on the 19^th is Blake Edwards’s tribute to slapstick The Great Race (1965).

On the 25^th are several films with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, my favorite being Shall We Dance (1937), with music by the Gershwins.

And on the 29^th are a number of films by Hitchcock.  I recommend all of Hitchcock’s films, as well as those showing in Nov. by Lubitsch, Hawks, John Ford and Preston Sturges.
