Jul 17, 1200
AGAINST THE WIND
Jul 10, 1200
Jul 11, 0400
BLUNT, THE FOURTH MAN, Nothing in Maltin's book. (1986) Movie stars Ian
Richardson as Sir Anthony Blunt--historian, knight and spy! Anthony
Hopkins co-stars in the true story of the bluebloods who betrayed
England in the most scandalous spy ring of the century.
Wed, Jul 10, 1500-1700
CONSPIRACY OF HEARTS (1960) 3 stars. Stars Lilli Palmer and Sylvia Syms.
Despite familiar situations of nuns sheltering refugee Jewish youths in
Northern Italy, this film manages to be suspenseful and moving.
Jul 24, 1500-1700
Jul 25, 0400-0600
COURT MARTIAL (1955) 3 stars. Stars David Niven. Tense courtroom story
of officer Niven accused of stealing military funds. The trial reveals
provocations of grasping wife. A solid drama.
Jul 16, 1500-1700
Jul 17, 0400-0600
ESCAPE. A&E/BBC movie. Nothing in Maltin's book. (1987). Oppresssed
Czechs flee the iron grip of Stalin only to encounter betrayal and
tragedy over the border in Germany.
Jul 18, 1500-1700
HIGH TREASON (1952) 2.5 stars. Well-handled drama involving complex
caper to instigate chaos in English industrial life via high-explosive
bomb.
Jul 25, 1200-1400
Jul 26, 0400-0600
THE BEGUILED (1971) 3 stars. Stars Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page.
Offbeat methodically paced stroy set in US Civil War South. Wounded
Eastwood brought to girls' school to recuperate. he becomes catalyst
for flurry of jealousy and hatred. Unusual Eastwood fare, but for
patient viewers, a rich, rewarding film.
Jul 12, 2000-2200
Jul 13, 0000-0200
THE NORTH STAR (1943) 2.5 stars. Stars Anne Baxter, Dana Andrews, Walter
Huston, Erich von Stronheim, Farley Granger, Walter Brennan. Dramatic
battle sequences in WWII Russia marred by uninteresting stretches until
German von Stroheim matches withs with village leader Huston. Good
performances all around.
