Method Acting — Part II
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Turner Classic Movies airs its second of two nights (Part 1 aired last Wednesday) that continues a look at some of Hollywood’s most renowned method actors via a lineup of films featuring the stars in action. Method actors seek to deliver sincere and expressive performances by delving deeply into their character to identify with, understand and fully experience that person’s inner motivation and emotions. The technique was pioneered by Russian actor/director Konstantin Stanislavski, and this sort of prep work can be intense for an actor using it (and may also, on occasion, have the potential to be somewhat confusing or off-putting for his or her costars). But method acting has certainly resulted in memorable big-screen characterizations, like the ones seen in this evening’s five notable films led by method actors: Splendor in the Grass (1961, Warren Beatty); Five Easy Pieces (1970, Best Actor Oscar nominee Jack Nicholson); Wanda (1970, Barbara Loden, who also wrote, directed and coproduced the drama); Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974, Best Actress Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn and Harvey Keitel); and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979, Best Actor Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman).

TCM Spotlight: Revisionist Westerns: “Monte Hellman” & “1970s Double Feature”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Turner Classic Movies saddles up for another evening of films in the Revisionist Western subgenre. The lineup is divided into two themes. First are three films directed by Monte Hellman, a protégé of low-budget exploitation cinema legend Roger Corman. The first two of these — Ride in the Whirlwind and The Shooting, both from 1966 — star Jack Nicholson in early roles and are regarded as being within the “acid Western” subgenre of Revisionist Western movies produced in the late 1960s/early ’70s. Both films were coproduced by Nicholson, who also wrote the screenplay for Ride in the Whirlwind. The third Hellman feature comes from 1978: China 9, Liberty 37, an Italian-Spanish production starring Revisionist Western staple Warren Oates, and Sam Peckinpah, a master director in that genre, in a small acting appearance. Following the Hellman triple feature comes a double feature of Revisionist Western classics from the 1970s, starting with The Missouri Breaks (1976). The Arthur Penn-directed production stars Nicholson and another legend, Marlon Brando, with supporting performances from Randy Quaid and Harry Dean Stanton. The ’70s double feature, and the evening of Revisionist Westerns as a whole, then concludes with Comes a Horseman (1978), set in the American West of the 1940s, directed by Alan J. Pakula and starring Jane Fonda, James Caan, Jason Robards and Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Richard Farnsworth.

Special Theme: Follow the Thread: “Women in Menswear”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Women in film have been pushing gender boundaries with their outfits since the silent era, often breaking through to establish broader trends in fashion. Greta Garbo sported a military-style trench coat in A Woman of Affairs (1928), a look that endures to this day. The pantsuit was introduced in the 1920s but wasn’t popularized until 1930, when Marlene Dietrich wore one in her film Morocco. These women set the stage for stars like Katharine Hepburn and Diane Keaton, who translated their personal styles onto the big screen and into our culture with films like the two classics airing during tonight’s celebration of cinematic fashion on TCM. For the 1942 romantic comedy/drama Woman of the Year, legendary costume designer Adrian (Adrian Adolph Greenburg) dressed Best Actress Oscar nominee Hepburn in a variety of outfits, including skirts and gowns, but it was the menswear that really set her apart and helped define her personal style. The actress had already established an affinity for slacks in films like The Philadelphia Story, but in Woman of the Year, her strong-yet-feminine persona was augmented even more by her “masculine” clothing, including a selection of pants and even a velvet smoking jacket. The costume designer for tonight’s next film, the Best Picture Oscar-winning Annie Hall (1977), was Ruth Morley, and many of the clothes for Best Actress Oscar winner Keaton’s title character came from Ralph Lauren. But Annie’s style comes entirely from the actress herself. In fact, Oscar-winning cowriter and director Woody Allen had to fight with Morley to allow Keaton to wear some of her favorite outfits, knowing they were central to the character (of both Diane and Annie). And what she wore — an eclectic selection of men’s hats, vests, boots and (most famously) ties — created a sensation that’s celebrated in fashion circles to this day.
