TCM Morning & Afternoon Movies: Summer Camp
TCM, beginning at 6:15am
Catch a Classic!

Kick off your summer of classic movie viewing with this morning and afternoon lineup of some of the kitschiest and campiest cult favorites ever made. The lineup begins with Trog (1970), a British sci-fi/horror film about a living caveman who is discovered by an anthropologist (played by Joan Crawford in what would be her final film appearance). Next is The Brain That Wouldn’t Die (1962), another sci-fi/horror flick, about a mad doctor who keeps his fiancée’s severed head alive. (You may be familiar with this movie from when it was mercilessly mocked on Mystery Science Theater 3000.) After that, Laurie Mitchell plays Yllana, the titular ruthless ruler of Venus in 1958’s Queen of Outer Space, which also features Zsa Zsa Gabor and whose content was found quite objectionable by the now-defunct National Legion of Decency, so it’s got that going for it. The day of summer camp also includes Hercules, Samson & Ulysses (1963), one of the many Italian sword-and-sandals flicks of the ’60s; The Prodigal (1955), a biblical epic led by Lana Turner; Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958); Dead Ringer, a 1964 horror film with Bette Davis, Karl Malden and Peter Lawford; and The Bad Seed (1956), featuring Patty McCormack as the quintessential cinematic problem child. — Jeff Pfeiffer

The initial theme for tonight’s programming block is “School’s a Drag,” with a number of films featuring youngsters who don’t care too much for the classroom or teachers’ authority. The evening begins with the cult classic High School Confidential! (1958), with Russ Tamblyn as a young police officer who goes undercover as a high school student to infiltrate a drug ring. Mamie Van Doren also stars in the film, which features a cameo by rocker Jerry Lee Lewis, who performs the hit title song. Another classic tune of the early rock ’n’ roll era can be heard in tonight’s next film, the Oscar-nominated Blackboard Jungle (1955), whose soundtrack gave Bill Haley and His Comets’ “Rock Around the Clock” more exposure and turned it into a hit. The film also featured a breakout performance by Sidney Poitier as a rebellious but musically talented student. Poitier also stars in tonight’s next feature, To Sir, With Love (1967), this time playing a teacher who tries to win over a classroom of rowdy students at a school in London’s tough East End. The rest of tonight’s (and into early tomorrow morning) curriculum includes: High School Hellcats (1958); Diary of a High School Bride (1959, network premiere); The Careless Years (1957); and Street of Sinners (1957). — Jeff Pfeiffer

The classic works of 19th-century British author Jane Austen are such compelling and witty reads in their own rights, and effectively speak to various elements of the human condition, that it makes sense they have lent themselves to numerous film adaptations. Three of the most memorable movie versions of Austen novels are featured tonight on Turner Classic Movies, beginning with 1995’s popular and acclaimed Best Picture Oscar nominee Sense and Sensibility, a period drama directed by Ang Lee. Star Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her adaptation of Austen’s 1811 novel, and received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her lead performance as Elinor Dashwood. The cast also includes Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Kate Winslet in an early role, along with Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant and Harriet Walter. Up next is the network premiere of another Austen film made during the 1990s boom of adapting the author’s work, Persuasion (1995). This version of Austen’s 1817 novel stars Amanda Root in her feature film debut as lead character Anne Elliot, with Ciarán Hinds as her romantic interest, Capt. Frederick Wentworth. Tonight’s triple feature concludes with 1940’s Oscar-winning Pride and Prejudice, one of the most famous versions of one of Austen’s most famous novels, published in 1813. Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier lead the cast as Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. — Jeff Pfeiffer
