TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies’ Monday night spotlight takes the stand again with more movies centered around courtrooms. This evening’s films are focused on court martials, tribunals and other forms of military justice.

It was nominated for 11 Oscars and won for Best Actor (Maximilian Schell as defense counsel Hans Rolfe) and for its screenplay by Abby Mann. Next, cowriter/director Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957) stars Kirk Douglas as a World War I commanding officer of French soldiers who refuses to continue a suicidal attack, then later tries to defend his troops against charges of cowardice in a court-martial. The evening rounds out with the 1980 Oscar-nominated Australian drama Breaker Morant, about a 1902 court-martial that was one of the first war crime prosecutions in British military history; The Rack (1956), with Paul Newman as an American officer who returns home after two years in a North Korean prison camp only to find himself charged with collaboration; and I Accuse!

The Asian American Experience
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Tonight’s lineup of three titles on Turner Classic Movies features films that have chronicled various aspects of Asian American life at different time periods, and across different genres. The evening begins with Flower Drum Song, the Oscar-nominated 1961 musical based on the 1958 Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway production, which itself was based on the 1957 novel by Chinese American author Chin Yang Lee. This was the first major Hollywood feature film to have a predominantly Asian American cast featured in a contemporary story about Asian Americans. That cast is led by Nancy Kwan, James Shigeta, Miyoshi Umeki, Jack Soo and Benson Fong. Next is Samuel Fuller’s 1959 film noir The Crimson Kimono, which, aside from providing a compelling mystery tale, was ahead of its time in notions of race. It stars Shigeta and Glenn Corbett as two cops, who are friends and Korean War veterans, investigating the murder of a local entertainer. A love triangle eventually develops among the men and a key witness, played by Victoria Shaw. The notion of a white woman being attracted to and even kissing the Japanese American character played by Shigeta was apparently so revolutionary for the time that a fairly offensive promotional poster for the film played up the relationship for seemingly shock value (fortunately, the film itself is a lot more tactful). The night concludes with Eat a Bowl of Tea (1989), a romantic comedy/drama about Chinese American immigrants adapting to life in their new home, directed by Hong Kong American filmmaker Wayne Wang, considered a pioneer in Asian American cinema. — Jeff Pfeiffer
