Remembering David Lynch
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Famous, and famously unique, filmmaker David Lynch passed away earlier this year at age 78 (he was born in Missoula, Montana, on Jan. 20, 1946; he died in Los Angeles on Jan. 16). Turner Classic Movies remembers the legendary artist tonight with five of the 10 feature films he directed during his career. Up first is what may have been one of Lynch’s more unexpected projects for some people, but still garnered a lot of acclaim: the G-rated, relatively straightforward and not-at-all surreal biographical drama The Straight Story (1999), which is making its TCM premiere. Pretty mainstream and accessible compared with most of Lynch’s other works (it was even released by Walt Disney Pictures), this film is led by Best Actor Oscar nominee Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek and Harry Dean Stanton. Following that, the lineup offers increasingly strange and often nightmarish levels of Lynchian weirdness, with Blue Velvet (1986), a neo-noir mystery led by Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper and Laura Dern, which earned Lynch the second of his three Best Director nominations; Wild at Heart (1990), a dark comedy/romantic crime drama/thriller starring Dern, Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe; Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), a psychological horror film that served as a prequel to Lynch’s surreal 1990-91 TV drama Twin Peaks; and Eraserhead (1977), Lynch’s first feature and a truly wild and nearly inexplicable foray into surreal body horror that still retains its aura as the epitome of the phrase “cult film.”

Lady in the Lake
MOVIES!, 7:20am
Catch a Classic!
Robert Montgomery plays Raymond Chandler’s famous private investigator Philip Marlowe (although the character’s first name is spelled with two l’s here, for some reason) in this 1947 film noir adaptation of Chandler’s 1943 novel, The Lady in the Lake. Montgomery also directed the film, and he brought an interesting creative touch to it: Marlowe is mostly (aside from a couple of reflections) unseen by the audience; the tale is told via his first-person point of view, with the camera seeing what he does. Coupled with the fact that the film has almost no instrumental soundtrack, this production was especially unique for, and certainly ahead of, its time. The technique is mostly pulled off well, although it does take some getting used to. More confusing is the convoluted mystery plot, but that kind of comes with the territory with Chandler. Costarring with Montgomery are Audrey Totter, Lloyd Nolan and Tom Tully.

Catch a Classic!
Gore Vidal adapted Tennessee Williams’ one-act play of the same name (Williams was also credited on the screenplay but denied having any part in writing it) into this compelling and disturbing 1959 Gothic mystery film starring Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, both of whom received Best Actress Oscar nominations. Hepburn portrays wealthy dowager Violet Venable, who attempts to bribe Dr. John Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift), a young psycho-surgeon from a New Orleans mental hospital that is desperately in need of funds, into lobotomizing her niece, Catherine Holly (Taylor). Violet wants the operation performed in order to prevent Catherine from defiling the memory of her son, the poet Sebastian (Julián Ugarte). Catherine has been babbling obscenely about Sebastian’s mysterious death that she witnessed while on vacation with him in Spain the previous summer. The event has clearly traumatized Catherine emotionally but has not made her as insane as her aunt desperately would like her to be, since Violet herself proves thoroughly unable to process the awful truth of what really happened to Sebastian once Cukrowicz is finally able to get Catherine to fully remember it.
