TCM Spotlight: The Hays Gaze (90th Anniversary of the Hays Code)
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Monday night remembrance of the Motion Picture Production Code (aka the Hays Code) that was instituted in Hollywood between 1934 and 1968 continues with more double features of various themes considered to be controversial during the era, contrasting one made before enforcement of the Code with another made when the Code was more fully in effect. The first pairing looks at two films in which religion plays a big role in the story: director Frank Capra’s pre-Code romantic drama The Miracle Woman (1931), featuring Barbara Stanwyck as a clergyman’s daughter who teams with a con man (Sam Hardy) and performs fake miracles for profit, followed by Boys Town (1938), the Best Picture Oscar-nominated biographical drama starring Best Actor winner Spencer Tracy as Father Edward J. Flanagan, alongside Mickey Rooney. After that are two adaptations of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — the pre-Code 1931 version followed by the 1941 version — each of which handled the sex and violence found in the story in very different ways. Playing the titular dual personalities in the 1931 film is Fredric March, who won the Best Actor Oscar (tying with Wallace Beery in The Champ), with Tracy portraying the characters in the 1941 production. Two films about bosses and secretaries conclude things early tomorrow: the pre-Code romantic drama The Office Wife (1930), starring Dorothy Mackaill, Lewis Stone and Natalie Moorhead, and Wife vs. Secretary (1936), a romantic comedy led by Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Myrna Loy.

Jaws
Syfy, 10:30pm
Catch a Classic!
Steven Spielberg’s classic, Best Picture Oscar-nominated 1975 thriller wasn’t his first feature film, but it was the one that truly put him on the map as a director who could not only artfully helm a film, but also do so to massive popular success. The adaptation of Peter Benchley’s bestselling novel about a rogue great white shark terrorizing a New England beach community ultimately became the first U.S. film to gross over $100 million at the box office, with most of its total coming during a summer release that also served to scare many viewers away from beaches that season. With a terrific cast led by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw, Spielberg’s film wisely jettisoned superfluous plot elements, and the rather abrupt ending, from Benchley’s novel to pare things down into a merciless and entertaining thriller/sea adventure. The young (he was just in his late 20s when he made the film) Spielberg somehow did not receive a Best Director Oscar nomination even though it was his steady creative hand in the midst of technical difficulties that made the film as successfully suspenseful as it is. But the film did win Academy Awards for its sound and editing, and for John Williams’ iconic musical score — the other major factor that has made the movie an influential and enduring thrill ride.

Next is Paths of Glory (1957), the iconic World War I-set anti-war drama starring Kirk Douglas. Following that is the Best Picture Oscar-nominated dystopian sci-fi/crime film A Clockwork Orange (1971), which earned Kubrick Oscar nods for directing and for his screenplay adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ novel.

TCM Morning & Afternoon Movies: The Olympic Spirit
TCM, beginning at 6am
Catch a Classic!
The 2024 Summer Olympics begin today, and Turner Classic Movies is offering a look back at previous Summer Games this morning and afternoon via several notable documentary films. Up first is The Olympic Games in Paris 1924 (1925), a roughly three-hour silent film that covers notable events and athletes at those games, including Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, who would later be famously dramatized in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire. Next is Games of the XXI Olympiad (1977), which runs about two hours and chronicles the 1976 Games that were held in Montreal, spotlighting legendary athletes like three-time gold medal-winning Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci and gold medal-winning American decathlete Caitlyn Jenner (known at that time and competing in men’s events, prior to her gender transition, as Bruce Jenner). The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles are the subject of the next documentary, director Bud Greenspan’s award-winning 16 Days of Glory (1985), which runs over four-and-a-half hours and features footage of athletes such as Americans Carl Lewis (four-time gold medalist in track and field events) and Greg Louganis (two-time gold medalist in diving events). After that comes one of the most acclaimed Olympics documentaries, the Japanese film Tokyo Olympiad (1965), which, over its nearly three hours, not only captures events held at the 1964 Games in the title city but also weaves a rich, colorful and lovely dramatic tapestry while doing so. As today’s lineup concludes, we switch seasons with the half-hour 1980 short Olympic Spirit, which briefly chronicles the Winter Games that were held in Lake Placid, New York, notable for the United States’ “Miracle on Ice” win over the Soviet Union during the ice hockey tournament’s medal round.
