The last film was written and directed by Michael Cacoyannis, who also directed the film airing after Medea tonight: Electra (1962), another Best Foreign Language Film-nominated adaptation of a Euripides work based in Greek myth, with Papas as Elektra and Giannis Fertis as Orestes.

Code of Silence
BritBox
New Series!
This crime drama is told through the point of view of Alison Brooks (Rose Ayling-Ellis), a deaf woman who is struggling to make ends meet, juggling two jobs — one in a police canteen and another at a local bar — while also doing her best to support her deaf mother, Julie (Fifi Garfield).

A Hard Day’s Night
TCM, 11:15am
Catch a Classic!
This 1964 classic starring the Beatles was the Fab Four’s first film and is a fun and influential romp through a fictionalized day in their life during the frenzied height of Beatlemania, and earned Oscar nominations for its screenplay and its adapted musical score by the group’s producer, George Martin. Directed by Richard Lester, the film is a perfect vehicle for John, Paul, George and Ringo, drawing on the cheeky humor and pure fun the group often brought to its songs. The first megastar boy band at the time of filming — and still quite young — the Beatles are comfortably charming in the movie, even while frequently pursued by obsessed fans. The film’s other big star is its fantastic soundtrack, including the title tune and other classics like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “She Loves You,” “And I Love Her” and “If I Fell.” The innovative way these songs are cut into visual sequences surely had some influence on later music videos. With A Hard Day’s Night and its frantically fun combination of songs and comedy, the Beatles — as they did with their records — set a new and high bar for what a music film could be. And, whether meaning to or not, they and Lester also created an enduringly enjoyable time capsule of one particularly fab moment in time. This film is a centerpiece of today’s lineup on TCM that also features a number of other memorable British film titles from that era. Before A Hard Day’s Night are The Day They Robbed the Bank of England (1960), A Taste of Honey (1961) and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962). After A Hard Day’s Night are All Neat in Black Stockings (1969), Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), Look Back in Anger (1959) and Tom Jones (1963).
