TCM Spotlight: The Defining Frontier: The American Character in Westerns
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Tuesday and Thursday night look at the history of Westerns via themed lineups concludes tonight with “The End of an Era.” Several great Westerns captured an era when the American frontier was in decline. This was a period when the country began to fundamentally change, transitioning from a rugged, lawless society to one with more rules and structure. While it can be looked back upon as a time of progress, many living in that era had a hard time adjusting to a new way of life. Tonight’s films show the challenges that came with one way of life ending as the Old West gave way to modern civilization. Up first is cowriter/director Sergio Leone’s epic spaghetti Western Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), led by Henry Fonda (cast against type as a villain), Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Claudia Cardinale. After that, John Wayne, James Stewart, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin (as the title character) lead director John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). Two titles from director Sam Peckinpah close out the lineup: The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970), a Western comedy starring Robards, Stella Stevens, David Warner and Strother Martin, and The Wild Bunch (1969), a revisionist Western led by William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Edmond O’Brien and Warren Oates.

Mid-Century MOVIES!: “Gidget” Movies
MOVIES!, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
One of the five movies in which Sandra Dee appeared during her star-making year of 1959, the romantic comedy Gidget not only helped introduce California surf culture (as well as a different beach attire potential for young women — a sporty, boy-shorted “surfer girl” look) to the country at large, but also ushered in the “beach party” genre of teen movie that would become popular with other titles over the next several years. Dee plays high schooler Francine “Gidget” Lawrence, who, over one impactful summer, develops a love for surfing and also finds love with a fellow surfer. Cliff Robertson and James Darren respectively costar as other iconic characters from the Gidget universe: “The Big Kahuna” and “Moondoggie.” Given how formative this film was to the pop culture of its era, it’s fitting that MOVIES! airs it as part of its Mid-Century MOVIES! programming block.

Catch a Classic!
One of those legendary composers whose sound work elevated films that were already great-looking to new levels, Ennio Morricone is celebrated tonight and next Thursday, June 12, with lineups of films for which he provided the memorable scores. Up first in this evening’s lineup is the 1988 Italian coming-of-age dramedy Cinema Paradiso, one of the composer’s collaborations with director Giuseppe Tornatore. Following that is the 2021 documentary Ennio, which was written and directed by Tornatore and released a little over a year after Morricone’s passing at age 91 in 2020. The lineup concludes with two of director Sergio Leone’s famed spaghetti Westerns for which Morricone composed the equally renowned music: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1968), which features one of the composer’s — and cinema history’s — most iconic pieces of film score, “The Ecstasy of Gold,” and A Fistful of Dollars (1964).

A Face in the Crowd
TCM, 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Andy Griffith gives an extraordinary performance as Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes, the lead character of this 1957 Elia Kazan-directed drama that marked Griffith’s screen debut. Although Rhodes is a Southern character like Griffith’s kindly and beloved Sheriff Andy Taylor from the actor’s later classic sitcom The Andy Griffith Show, this man’s charming accent and folksy “aw-shucks” persona is not the genuine article, and instead hides a cruel, ambitious and egomaniacal personality that only grows as the one-time drunken drifter finds himself — thanks to the radio journalist (Patricia Neal) who discovers him (and later regrets the monster she created) — rising as a nationally renowned media personality and political demagogue. If you only know Griffith from his sitcom, check out his dynamic acting range here as Rhodes, a role that helped the actor become a star and really should have earned him an Oscar nomination. Besides being ignored by the Academy, A Face in the Crowd also had mixed reviews on its original release, and wasn’t overly successful at the box office. But time has looked kindly on the film, which was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2008, thanks not only to Griffith’s performance but also the story’s look at the volatile intersection of media, celebrity and politics that appears ever more prescient with each passing year.

AMC Celebrates: “Jaws” 50th Anniversary
AMC, beginning at 1:30pm
Catch a Classic!
Steven Spielberg’s classic, Best Picture Oscar-nominated thriller Jaws opened in theaters 50 years ago this month, on June 20, 1975. This 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. Jaws was the harbinger of a new blockbuster era; its long lines of eager filmgoers, many of whom saw the film multiple times, showed studios that summertime — before then, considered a largely slow time at theaters — could be big business for movies. And it certainly wasn’t the last time that Spielberg’s name would be attached to a summer blockbuster. The young (he was just in his late 20s when he made the film) filmmaker 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. 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. AMC is celebrating 50 years of Jaws today with airings of the original classic and its sequels, which continued to diminish in quality with each successive entry: Jaws 2 (1978), Jaws 3 (1983) and Jaws: The Revenge (1987).
