SATURDAY JUNE 22 - FULL DAY'S SCHEDULE

SPECIAL THEME: PRIDE MONTH - PART 1
11:15 PM Torch Song Trilogy (1988)

&pp=ygUaVE9SQ0ggU09ORyBUUklMT0dZIFRSQUlMRVI%3D

A drag queen's affair with a bisexual throws his life into turmoil.
Dir: Paul Bogart Cast: Anne Bancroft, Matthew Broderick, Harvey Fierstein
Runtime: 120 mins Genre: Comedy Rating: TV-MA CC: Y

Trivia: Estelle Getty originated the role of Ma Beckoff on Broadway. She was unable to reprise the part for the movie because she was filming The Golden Girls (1985) as Sophia, Dorothy's mother so Anne Bancroft was cast instead.


1:30 AM The Queen (1968)

&pp=ygUYVGhlIFF1ZWVuICgxOTY4KSBUUkFJTEVS

A behind-the-scenes look at a 1967 national drag queen contest in New York City, including the rehearsals leading up to the contest, the conversations in the dressing room and the jealousies that emerge before and after the competition.
Dir: Frank Simon Cast: Bernard Giquel, Jack Doroshow, Jim Dine
Runtime: 68 mins Genre: Documentary Rating: TV-14 CC: Y

Trivia: Jack Doroshow, who portrays Flawless Sabrina, made a personal appearance some years ago at a screening of this movie which took place at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center. In addition to the film, there was some soundless film footage presented of an after party which took place immediately after the contest, that footage which may have come from the personal collection of Flawless Sabrina. This footage shows that the NYPD "raided" the after party presumably because men dressing as women in those days was still illegal. Arrogantly and with no seemingly plausible reason, the police officers walked through the party requiring numerous attendees to show their identification, such harassing actions which could have arguably led up to the Stonewall rebellion of 1969.


2:45 AM The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972)

&pp=ygUydGhlIGJpdHRlciB0ZWFycyBvZiBwZXRyYSB2b24ga2FudCAoMTk3MikgdHJhaWxlciA%3D

A successful fashion designer abandons a sado-masochistic relationship with her female assistant in favor of a love affair with a beautiful young woman.

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (German: Die Bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant) is a 1972 West German New Wave psychological romantic drama film written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, based on his own play. Featuring an all-female cast, the plot takes place entirely in the home of narcissistic protagonist Petra von Kant,[1] and follows the changing dynamics in her relationships with other women. Petra's story is told in a theatrical fashion in four acts, each depicting her state of mind hinted at visually by her clothes and hair. The film was entered into the 22nd Berlin International Film Festival. The movie is regarded by many to be Fassbinder's magnum opus and a classic of the German cinema.

Dir: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Cast: Margit Carstensen, Hanna Schygulla, Eva Mattes
Runtime: 119 mins Genre: Adaptation Rating: TV-14 CC: N

Trivia: Rainer Werner Fassbinder wrote the entire screenplay for
the film by hand during a single 12-hour flight from Berlin to Los Angeles.

5:00 AM The Blue Angel (1930)

&pp=ygUYIFRoZSBCbHVlIEFuZ2VsIHRyYWlsZXIg

A stodgy professor falls from grace when he's seduced by a nightclub singer.

The Blue Angel (German: Der blaue Engel) is a 1930 German musical comedy-drama film directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings and Kurt Gerron. Written by Carl Zuckmayer, Karl Vollmöller and Robert Liebmann, with uncredited contributions by Sternberg, it is based on Heinrich Mann's 1905 novel Professor Unrat (Professor Filth) and set in an unspecified northern German port city.[2] The Blue Angel presents the tragic transformation of a respectable professor into a cabaret clown and his descent into madness. The film was the first feature-length German sound film and brought Dietrich international fame.[3] It also introduced her signature song, Friedrich Hollaender and Robert Liebmann's "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)". The film is considered a classic of German cinema.

Dir: Josef Von Sternberg Cast: Emil Jannings, Marlene Dietrich, Kurt Gerron
Runtime: 104 mins Genre: Drama Rating: TV-PG CC: N

Trivia: There are various accounts of why Marlene Dietrich was cast as Lola Lola, but the one given by director Josef von Sternberg in his autobiography is that Dietrich came to test for the film with a bored, world-weary attitude because she was convinced she wasn't going to get the role and was merely going through the motions - and Sternberg hired her because that world-weary attitude was precisely what he wanted for the character.

Trivia: Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich's love affair, which began during production of this film, caused quite a tabloid scandal and ultimately led to the dissolution of von Sternberg's marriage. On March 31, 1930, the night of the film's triumphant premiere in Berlin, the couple absconded to New York in order to begin a film career together in the United States. Von Sternberg's wife, Riza Royce, discovered the plans and arrived in the United States before her husband and Dietrich. She and her lawyer met the couple at the dock as they disembarked from their cruise liner. Royce served Dietrich with papers notifying her that she was being sued for libel and alienation of affection, and she filed for divorce from von Sternberg one month later.

Trivia: Dustin Hoffman planned the moment when he throws his wine glass against the wall during the restaurant scene with Meryl Streep. The only person he warned in advance was the cameraman, to make sure that it got in the shot. Streep's shocked reaction was real, but she stayed in character long enough for writer and director Robert Benton to yell cut. In the documentary on the DVD, she recalls yelling at Hoffman as soon as the shot was over for scaring her so badly.

Trivia: The ice cream scene, where Billy challenges his father by skipping dinner and going straight for dessert, was completely improvised by Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry. Writer and director Robert Benton liked the scene so much that he decided to keep it in the film.

Trivia: Karen Blixen travels across dangerous terrain to bring supply wagons to her husband's regiment. During the night, a lion attacks one of the oxen and Blixen tries to fight it off with a whip. Meryl Streep was assured that the lion would be tethered by one of its back legs so it couldn't get too close. When the scene was shot, the lion had no restraint, and it got closer than Streep anticipated. The fear on her face is real.

A dark personal secret drives a young woman to use every man she encounters.
Dir: John Brahm Cast: Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, Robert Mitchum
Runtime: 86 mins Genre: Drama Rating: TV-PG CC: Y

Trivia: Norma Barzman's lengthy treatment for this film, which Sheridan Gibney revised into a screenplay, was inspired by a true event which was recounted to her by financier George Peabody Gardner and his sister Belle. When younger, the Gardners eschewed their aristocratic upbringing partly in reaction to an incident in their youth. As children they became friendly with the daughter of the family's housekeeper. It transpired that the daughter was wrongly accused of stealing a locket, leading to the firing and departure of the housekeeper and daughter. Years later, it was learned that the daughter suffered from depression and was implicated in a theft, a consequence for which the Gardners felt their family was partly responsible.

Trivia: The Locket (1946) is noted for a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. Assuming the film begins in the 'present' day and mentions in dialogue, the strands occur variously in 1946, 1938 and beyond, around 1935, childhood scenes around 1925 and back again. Needless to say, hairstyles and fashions pay no attention to this whatsoever.

- TCM LATE NIGHT: HUMPHREY BOGART
2:00 AM The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947)

&pp=ygUdVGhlIFR3byBNcnMuIENhcnJvbGxzIHRyYWlsZXI%3D

Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck and Alexis Smith star in this thriller of an artist who can only find inspiration in murder and of the two women who inspire him, the two women he loves - The Two Mrs. Carrolls.
Dir: Peter Godfrey Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Barbara Stanwyck, Alexis Smith
Runtime: 99 mins Genre: Suspense/Mystery Rating: TV-G CC: Y

Trivia: Humphrey Bogart and Barbara Stanwyck had a friendly relationship on set. Producer Mark Hellinger, whom Bogart liked very much, agreed that Bogart would not be seen in any painter's wardrobe which would conflict with the tough guy image he had cultivated. When a painter's smock and beret with a tassel showed up on his wardrobe clothes rack one day, the actor was furious. The smock and beret were a joke perpetrated by Stanwyck, and the two performers had a good laugh afterward.

Trivia: In this film, Humphrey Bogart says "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful hatred", which may be a nod to the famous line from Casablanca (1942).
