All About Eve
MOVIES!, 6am
Catch a Classic!
Fasten your seat belts — it’s going to be a bumpy night! A whopping 14 Oscar nominations went to writer/director Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s iconic and sardonic 1950 show business saga, a record that went unmatched until Titanic (1997) and La La Land (2016) each tied it about half a century later. The drama follows maturing stage diva Margo Channing (Bette Davis), who is moved enough by the straits of wide-eyed fan Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) to take her on as an assistant. It isn’t long, though, before the not-so-naive apprentice craftily works Margo’s inner circle against one another in furtherance of her own aspirations to stardom. The film won six of the Academy Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Picture; Best Director and Best Writing, Screenplay (both to Mankiewicz); and Best Supporting Actor (George Sanders). Davis and Baxter were both nominated for Best Actress, and costars Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter received Best Supporting Actress nods. The stellar cast also includes Hugh Marlowe, Gary Merrill and Marilyn Monroe in one of her earliest roles.

TCM Spotlight: The Defining Frontier: The American Character in Westerns
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Each Tuesday and Thursday beginning tonight, over a total of nine nights, Turner Classic Movies looks at the history of the Western movie through lineups of representative titles that exemplify a given theme. Tonight’s first theme is “The Foundation” and looks at the dawn of the Western during the silent era beginning with what is often credited as the first title in that genre: Edwin S. Porter’s The Great Train Robbery (1903). Elements of the movie’s narrative — outlaws, horses, guns, justice, etc. — became staples in Westerns, and its dynamic editing and storytelling helped to make it a commercial success. Throughout the silent film era, Westerns continued to evolve and became more popular, with filmmakers like D.W. Griffith and John Ford making important contributions. Examples of those follow The Great Train Robbery: The Invaders (1912); The Squaw Man (1914), which marked the directorial debut of Cecil B. DeMille and was the first feature-length film shot in what is now Hollywood; The Iron Horse (1924), the first major film directed by future Western filmmaking legend Ford (even if he was uncredited for it); Tumbleweeds (1925), which is making its TCM premiere; The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926), costarring Gary Cooper in his first feature-length film; and Sky High (1922), which stars Tom Mix, one of Hollywood’s earliest Western stars.
