Not much that Turner hasn't shown previously; the highlights of the month for me are the two Jean-Pierre Melville films and the Samuel Fuller film at the end of the month.
1st: the month starts off with Howard Hawks's impressive Only Angels Have Wings (1939), an extraordinary film about civil aviation.
5th: Ernst Lubitsch's delightful comedy Design for Living (1933), Noel Coward by way of Ben Hecht.
9th: Raoul Walsh's magnificent film about Custer: They Died with Their Boots On (1941) and Rudolph Mate's fatalistic D.O.A.
13th: The Bitter Tea of General Yen (1932), Frank Capra before populism.
14th: Billy Wilder's corrosive Ace in the Hole (1951).
16th: John Ford's great cavalry film Fort Apache (1948).
20th: Vincente Minnelli's widescreen melodrama Some Came Running (1958)
24th: Jean-Pierre Melville's Les Enfants Terrible (1950), from a Cocteau novel, and Melville's L'Aine Des Ferchaux (1963), from a Simenon novel.
28th: Samuel Fuller's film about the early days of newspapers in New York, Park Row (1952)
