History, 8pm
Season Premiere!

In tonight’s Season 14 premiere titled “Life on the Line,” we are introduced to newcomers Chance and Soraya Painter, both 28, who are raising two young kids as they begin carving out a homestead in remote Alaskan bush country. But life in the wild is just as grueling today as it was for the original frontiersmen — only now, walking away from the modern world takes even more grit, and spirit is tested like never before. Seasoned legends like Marty Meierotto and Mike Horstman continue their tireless fight against the elements, refusing to let go of the rugged independence they’ve spent a lifetime building. And for 81-year-old icon Tom Oar, this season could mark the moment he decides whether to keep going or hand off the torch. Legacies hang in the balance as each mountain man confronts a defining crossroads.

Tonight’s initial lineup features highlights from Head’s earlier years (before Best Costume Design was created as an Oscar category in 1948; otherwise she surely would have at least had nominations for some of these): the war drama Wings (1927), the first film to win the Best Picture Oscar; Love Me Tonight (1932), a musical comedy led by Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald; the Mae West/Cary Grant comedy She Done Him Wrong (1933); director John Ford’s South Seas-set drama The Hurricane (1937), led by Dorothy Lamour; the classic film noir Double Indemnity (1944), one of several films on which Head designed outfits for Barbara Stanwyck, who was one of many top female stars of the era who considered Head a favorite creative collaborator; and Going My Way (1944), the Best Picture Oscar-winning musical comedy/drama led by Best Actor winner Bing Crosby and Best Supporting Actor winner (and also, somehow, Best Actor nominee) Barry Fitzgerald.

Interracial Romance — Part 1
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Tonight and next Friday, Sept. 12, Turner Classic Movies presents films featuring interracial couples, many of which were produced during times when onscreen portrayals of these loving pairs were considered socially unacceptable at best, if not outright shocking, to many people — and when such real-life relationships were even illegal in some places in America. Tonight’s lineup leads off with the first adaptation of the stage musical Show Boat (1936), which, among its characters, features Helen Morgan as a part-Black actress “passing” as white who is married to a white man. Next is the drama Island in the Sun (1957), led by Harry Belafonte (who performs the title song), Joan Fontaine, Joan Collins, James Mason, Dorothy Dandridge and Stephen Boyd, which caused controversy with its tale of race relations and interracial romance on a fictional Caribbean island. Belafonte also leads the next title, The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959), a postapocalyptic sci-fi film in which he plays one of three survivors (along with Inger Stevens and Mel Ferrer). Then, Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman, earning a Best Actress Oscar nomination in her film debut, headline the drama A Patch of Blue (1965), about the increasingly close friendship between an educated Black man and an illiterate, blind, white 18-year-old girl. The lineup concludes early tomorrow with The Grasshopper (1970), a drama led by Jacqueline Bisset and Jim Brown.

Lawrence of Arabia
TCM, 1:30pm
Catch a Classic!

David Lean’s sprawling 1962 historical epic won seven of the 10 Oscars for which it was nominated, including Best Picture, and Best Director for Lean. Oscar nominee Peter O’Toole stars as T.E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united diverse Arab tribes to fight the Turks during World War I. Oscar nominee Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness are also among the cast in a nearly four-hour-long tale that definitely does not feel that long thanks not only to its terrific direction and performances, but also to its Oscar-winning cinematography by Freddie Young and Maurice Jarre’s iconic, Oscar-winning musical score.
