TCM SPOTLIGHT: DANCE NUMBERSTCM 132, beginning at 8pm

CATCH A CLASSIC!

Each Monday night this month on Turner Classic Movies, put on your dancing shoes (or at least watch others use theirs) with a lineup of brilliantly choreographed movie musicals. Tonight’s initial lineup spans a range of eras, beginning with Small Town Girl, the delightful 1953 film featuring choreography by the legendary Busby Berkeley (including the memorable “Street Dance” performed by costar Bobby Van hopping around town). Tonight’s next film brings us forward nearly 30 years with Fame (1980), Alan Parker’s acclaimed drama following students at New York City’s High School of Performing Arts. The film was shot on location in the Big Apple, lending a gritty realism to even its famous street-dancing musical number set to the Oscar-winning hit title tune, which was performed by star Irene Cara. Choreographed by Louis Falco, this sequence took three days to film and incorporated eight choreographed routines, 150 student background actors and 50 professional dancers. The evening concludes with one of the greatest movie musicals ever made: West Side Story (1961).

HOLLYWOOD VICTORYTCM 132, beginning at 8pm

CATCH A CLASSIC!

On Nov. 2, the book Hollywood Victory: The Movies, Stars and Stories of World War II, from the Turner Classic Movies library, will be published. Written by Christian Blauvelt, it details Hollywood’s response during the events of the World War II era, relating the different ways in which the film industry enlisted in the war effort, from filmmakers such as Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock making recruitment films, to Bob Hope’s USO performances and how the industry made films to show the public why they were fighting. Tying in with this book release, tonight TCM will be hosting an evening of films made during the American involvement in the World War II era that are also featured in the book. First is the 1939 drama Confessions of a Nazi Spy, starring Edward G. Robinson, Francis Lederer and George Sanders, which was the first anti-Nazi film to be made by a major American studio (not surprisingly, it was banned in Germany and Japan). Next, the Oscar-nominated 1941 romantic drama Hold Back the Dawn, which takes place largely in Mexico. Charles Boyer, Olivia de Havilland and Paulette Goddard star. Following that is the 1943 war film Edge of Darkness, starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan, which was one of the top five most requested films by the U.S. Army at the time. Also from 1943, Howard Hawks’ Oscar-winning war film Air Force, starring John Garfield and John Ridgely, offered special thanks at the end to the U.S. Army Air Force for their assistance in the creation of the film. Finally, in the 1946 adventure drama Courage of Lassie, a collie named Pal is credited as Lassie in the role of a collie named Bill, who finds himself shipped to the War Dog Training Center and eventually fights heroically alongside American troops during the Aleutian Islands Campaign. The film also stars Elizabeth Taylor.

PATHS OF GLORYTCM 132, 6:15pm

CATCH A CLASSIC!

Cowritten and directed by visionary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, this searing 1957 drama is among the most powerful antiwar films ever made — with its anti-military stance so profound and radical for its time that the movie was banned in France for nearly 20 years and banned on U.S. military bases in Europe. Based on the novel by Humphrey Cobb, Paths of Glory tells the story of shell-shocked French World War I soldiers ordered on a suicide mission reluctantly led by Col. Dax (a fiery Kirk Douglas). When Dax refuses the corrupt Gen. Mireau’s (George Macready) orders for soldiers to fire on their own ranks to keep them driving forward during this impossible mission, the general scapegoats a group of the soldiers to protect his promotion, accusing them of cowardice in a kangaroo court. This haunting, exquisitely photographed dissection of the military machine in all its absurdity and capacity for dehumanization (a theme Kubrick would continue to explore throughout his career) is mesmerizing from its tense trench warfare sequences to its gripping courtroom climax to its ravaging final scene.
