Twenty years later, Santos and Williams are presumed dead, the cases are cold and Calkins has never been arrested or charged and maintains his innocence. The case garnered little media attention until 2018, when filmmaker Tyler Perry enlisted Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Calkins on behalf of Williams’ mother. Following up on CNN crime reporter Thomas Lake’s meticulous reporting, Coates and Lake return to the scene of the disappearances to explore new leads and speak with a witness coming forward for the first time. “You will be spellbound by this unbelievable story of a mother’s determination to find her son in the face of every obstacle,” said Coates. “What do you do when you don’t know who to trust — even the investigators?” Coates and Lake uncover disturbing allegations about former deputy sheriff Calkins’ background, speaking with investigators on the case as well as a former colleague of Calkins who comes forward alleging newly revealed details about their time working together.

Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies swings into action starting this morning and into the early evening with seven films led by iconic swashbuckling star Errol Flynn. It’s a nice collection of some of the actor’s less-obvious classics, beginning with The Warriors (1955, aka The Dark Avenger), one of the latter productions of Flynn’s career, and the last of the many historical adventures in which he appeared. Here, he portrays Edward the Black Prince, the son of King Edward III, as he tries to liberate the people of Aquitaine from French control during the Hundred Years’ War. Next is Cry Wolf (1947), which marked Flynn’s only venture into a genre that audiences might not normally expect to see him in: film noir. Barbara Stanwyck costars. After that comes Mara Maru (1952), the last film Flynn made for Warner Bros., the studio that had produced so many of his earlier classics. He costars alongside Ruth Roman as a salvage diver who finds intrigue surrounding a sunken treasure in the Philippines. Following that is Silver River (1948), a Western that was another last for Flynn: his seventh and final film with director Raoul Walsh. Rounding out the day are The Prince and the Pauper (1937), based on Mark Twain’s novel; Dive Bomber (1941), the 12th and last collaboration between Flynn and director Michael Curtiz; and the Western San Antonio (1945).

Beloved actor Charles Patrick Ryan O’Neal passed away Dec. 8, 2023, at the age of 82. This evening, Turner Classic Movies remembers the star with five of his classics. It begins with one of his most famous movies, 1970’s Best Picture Oscar-nominated Love Story, which earned a Best Actor nomination for O’Neal and a Best Actress nod for costar Ali MacGraw. After that is What’s Up, Doc? (1972), director Peter Bogdanovich’s homage to the screwball comedies of the 1920s-40s, with O’Neal starring alongside Barbra Streisand. O’Neal and Bogdanovich re-teamed for tonight’s next film, Nickelodeon (1976), a comedy set in the early 1900s’ burgeoning film industry that marked the second pairing of O’Neal with his daughter, Tatum O’Neal. Finishing up the tribute early tomorrow morning are Wild Rovers (1971), a Blake Edwards-directed Western costarring William Holden; and The Thief Who Came to Dinner (1973), a comedy also featuring Jacqueline Bisset.

Classic Movies of the Week
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Back in the ’70s, broadcast networks produced many original films. While a lot of these titles led the term “Movie of the Week” to become synonymous with something instantly forgettable and of lower quality, both in budget and execution, there were a few productions that stood out and remain classics. Turner Classic Movies is airing four of them this evening. The lineup starts with Brian’s Song (1971), making its TCM premiere. Originally broadcast on ABC, this tear-jerking drama always ranks high whenever a list of “guy-cry” movies is put together and is a cut above a standard made-for-television production thanks in large part to its two leads: James Caan and Billy Dee Williams, both of whom received Emmy nominations for their performances. The movie recounts the life of Brian Piccolo (Caan), who played for the Chicago Bears for four years before he lost his life to cancer at age 26 in 1970. Piccolo’s story is told through his friendship with teammate Gale Sayers (Williams). Also making its TCM premiere is tonight’s next film, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976). Inspired by a true story, it stars John Travolta as a teen who lives in a germ-free bubble due to having been born with immune deficiencies. Glynnis O’Connor costars as the girl whose love makes him want to leave his protected life and experience the world, even at the risk of his health and life. Up next is another movie that premiered on ABC: Duel (1971), the first full-length film directed by Steven Spielberg, with a screenplay by sci-fi legend Richard Matheson. Dennis Weaver plays a motorist driving through the desert who suddenly finds himself terrorized by a tanker truck driven by an unseen person. Spielberg’s “movie of the week” was so artfully crafted, with white-knuckle suspense reminiscent of what he would create a few years later in Jaws, that Duel was screened in European art houses. Finishing up the lineup early tomorrow is The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974), which was first broadcast on CBS and stars Emmy winner Cicely Tyson as the title character, a Black woman in the South who was born into slavery during the 1850s and lives to tell her story during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
MOVIES!, 11:05am
Catch a Classic!
Robert Wise directed this 1951 sci-fi classic that finds an alien named Klaatu (Michael Rennie) and his robot, Gort (Lock Martin), landing on Earth to warn the planet’s inhabitants to abandon their atomic weapons and aggression, and live peacefully with the other residents of the cosmos, or be destroyed. The film was groundbreaking and influential not only in its theme (humanity positioned as the greater threat to the universe, not some invading aliens), but also in composer Bernard Herrmann’s musical score, which featured one of the earliest cinematic uses of the theremin; that eerie-sounding instrument would soon become an almost-overused staple in other films of the spacey or spooky variety.
