TCM, beginning at 6:15am
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies celebrates the golden age of movie musicals with a marathon that proves why dancing on film became an art form.

Jerome Robbins’ revolutionary choreography — which earned him an Oscar for Best Director alongside Robert Wise — changed movie musicals forever, proving that dance could tell a story as powerfully as dialogue.

The Poseidon Adventure
MOVIES!, 8pm
Catch a Classic!
One of the most-remembered, and best, of the epic, all-star disaster movies made during the 1970s, this 1972 film from producer Irwin Allen features one of the most “all-star” of those casts, with an ensemble comprising five Oscar winners: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Shelley Winters and Red Buttons. Unlike some of those other movies, The Poseidon Adventure works and is a lot of fun in spite of (or maybe because of?) its kind of silly premise: A New Year’s Eve party aboard a luxury ocean liner is literally turned upside down when a tsunami capsizes the ship. Led by a determined preacher (Hackman), a small group of survivors attempts to escape by making their way up to the bottom of the boat, hoping that it hasn’t been completely submerged. A popular blockbuster in its time, the film was nominated for eight Oscars (including Best Supporting Actress for Winters) and won for Best Original Song (“The Morning After” by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn). The impressive visual effects by L.B. Abbott and A.D. Flowers were honored with a Special Achievement Award by the Academy.

In this 1939 classic, Dr. Frankenstein’s son Wolf (Basil Rathbone) returns to his father’s estate, located in the town named after the family, bringing his young wife (Josephine Hutchinson) and son (Donnie Dunagan) along. When Wolf meets the very alive Ygor (Bela Lagosi), who asks him to help heal his “friend,” he soon finds out his father’s greatest creation — the Monster — is still alive! To clear his family name, he tries to revive the creature. This was Karloff’s final portrayal of the Monster on film, and one worth revisiting.

The Flight of the Phoenix
TCM, 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Directed by Robert Aldrich, The Flight of the Phoenix (1965) is a masterclass in survival tension that earned two Academy Award nominations. When a cargo plane crashes in the Sahara Desert, the survivors face an impossible choice: wait for rescue that may never come or attempt to rebuild an aircraft from the wreckage. James Stewart delivers one of his grittiest performances as Capt. Frank Towns, a pilot forced to relinquish control to a younger engineer who insists his radical plan can work. Stewart’s character isn’t a noble leader — he’s a washed-up pilot whose confidence is shattered. Richard Attenborough and Peter Finch costar.
