Now, while Nora should be focusing on running the local orphanage, she’s worried those illegal actions will follow her — and jeopardize her budding relationship with Mountie Michael Fletcher (Christopher Russell). “Season 3 picks up the day after that news,” reveals Busby. “Nora is potentially implicated in these bribery allegations, and she’s met with uncertainty. What does this mean for her? Of course, Mountie Michael finds out, and he doesn’t take it the way Nora would’ve hoped. That definitely brings on some complications.”

Catch a Classic!
Celebrate the holiday with a pair of Easter-related classics: 1948’s Easter Parade, starring Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, and the 1961 religious epic King of Kings. In Easter Parade, Broadway star Don Hewes (Astaire) scrambles to salvage his career after his dance partner, Nadine Hale (Ann Miller), ditches him just before the annual Easter parade. Determined to continue his act, Hewes randomly selects Hannah Brown (Garland) from a bar, vowing to turn her into a star by next year’s parade. Astaire, who had surprisingly retired two years earlier, took the role when Gene Kelly, the original choice to play Hewes, broke his ankle. After that comes King of Kings, a sweeping tale of faith and redemption chronicling the life of Jesus Christ from his birth to his teachings, crucifixion and resurrection. The film, with a running time of nearly three hours, commands attention with its grand scale, opulent sets and expansive location shots. (The landmark Sermon on the Mount scene famously employed a staggering 7,000 extras!) The film’s narration, read by Orson Welles, was written by Fahrenheit 451 author Ray Bradbury; neither of them received screen credit.

Star of the Month: Sophia Loren
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Italian screen goddess Sophia Loren (born Sofia Scicolone) grew up in poverty in the slums of Naples, where she was nicknamed “Toothpick” by her friends due to her waif-thin stature. Her early affirmation — she once scribbled in her schoolbook “Sofia Scicolone will be a great actress” — would start coming true at the age of 14 when she won a beauty contest and headed to Rome. There she met producer Carlo Ponti, who would assist her in her career and eventually marry her. “I have been very lucky, because I never thought I was going to reach the heights I’ve reached,” she told Interview Magazine. “I was just dreaming of a little money and a little career and a marriage. That’s all you dream of when you live in a little town. I don’t know if I deserve it, but I had more, more, more, more, more, more than that.” TCM celebrates Loren, now 91, and all her “mores” every Monday this month starting tonight.

TCM Birthday Tribute: James Garner
TCM, beginning at 6am
Catch a Classic!
The charismatic James Garner, who would have turned 98 today, was known for his easygoing manner, sly humor, toughness and versatility across both the big and small screen. TCM’s birthday tribute starts with the 1962 comedy Boys’ Night Out, featuring Garner as one of four bored friends who rent an apartment and hire a blond woman as a “companion.” Next up is another romantic comedy, 1968’s How Sweet It Is!, in which photographer Grif (Garner) takes his family to Paris, where he and his wife must both resist romantic temptations. The 1960 romantic drama Cash McCall sees entrepreneur McCall (Garner) finding love with Lory Austen (Natalie Wood) during his business dealings. Next up is a string of World War II movies beginning with 1964’s The Americanization of Emily, which Garner said was his favorite role. Shot in black-and-white, this dark and gritty anti-war comedy/drama about a cynical Navy officer who falls in love with a British combat widow (Julie Andrews) earned Oscar nominations for art direction and cinematography. (The film was a dramatic shift for Andrews, whose previous movie was Mary Poppins.) Following that is 1959’s Up Periscope, with Garner portraying a Navy submarine officer sent on a dangerous mission to steal Japanese codes. Darby’s Rangers (1958) follows William Darby (Garner) and the formation of the U.S. Army’s 1st Ranger Battalion. Rounding out the lineup is 1969’s Marlowe, a neo-noir thriller based on Raymond Chandler’s novel The Little Sister that follows a streetwise detective in seedy 1960s Los Angeles.

Tonight’s TCM takeover is with “the Pope of Pop Cinema,” Roger Corman, a visionary director of independent films. The night begins with The Masque of the Red Death (1964), starring Corman’s muse Vincent Price, one of eight films of Corman directed based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The New York Times described the film as “vulgar, naive and highly amusing, and it is played with gusto by Mr. Price, Hazel Court and Jane Asher. As for Mr. Corman, he has let his imagination run riot.” The film follows a troubled prince who terrorizes a disease-stricken village while he lives within a castle full of servants. The evening continues with The Wild Angels (1966), The Trip (1967), Gas-s-s-s (1970) and Bloody Mama (1970).

Catch a Classic!
Combining a calm charm with a cynical yet witty nature, Michael Caine’s nearly eight-decade career in film is hard to match. Two of Caine’s films fill the primetime slot tonight beginning with Get Carter (1971), a cult classic that focuses on British gangster Jack Carter (played by Caine), who returns to his hometown to investigate the death of his brother. Following is the comedy-thriller Deathtrap (1982), where Caine stars as Sidney Bruhl alongside Christopher Reeve as Clifford Anderson and Dyan Cannon as Myra Bruhl. The plot follows Sidney, a famous yet struggling playwright who wants to take credit for a play written by his former student Clifford and is willing to do almost anything to achieve it. Greed, envy and just plain quirkiness make this one a must-see.
