31 Days of Oscar: Oscar Goes to Class
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Tonight’s Oscar-worthy primetime TCM programming focuses on stories about students — some cherubic; others, not so much. The opening film of this lineup, the William Wyler-directed The Children’s Hour (1961), definitely features the latter. Based on a Lillian Hellman play, the story follows events at a girls’ boarding school after a student bully accuses the two female proprietors (played by Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine) of having a lesbian relationship. Hardly likable kids are also the subjects of 1955’s Blackboard Jungle, starring Glenn Ford as an English teacher assigned the thankless task of instructing teenage juvenile delinquents, including one played by Sidney Poitier. On a somewhat lighter note, but dealing with hard topics nonetheless, is 1945’s The Corn Is Green, starring Bette Davis as a teacher in a Welsh mining community who sees potential in one of her students and attempts to help him rise above a dismal future. And in an even more gentle tale, Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), a musical with Peter O’Toole and Petula Clark, we witness the positive and lasting influence a classical-language instructor has on generations of boys at an English public school.

The sands of time then sweep by with The Wind and the Lion (1975), an underseen epic starring an all-star cast of Sean Connery, Candice Bergen and John Huston. If you can weather these fiery adventures, make sure to stay for showings of Road to Morocco (1942), the third entry in the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope Road to… series, as well as the Oscar-nominated Morocco (1930), Sahara (1943), Khartoum (1966) and Them!
