Friday Night Frights!: “Dracula A.D. 1972” & “The Satanic Rites of Dracula”
MOVIES!, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Tonight’s Friday Night Frights! double feature on MOVIES! brings you the final two of the famed horror productions from Britain’s Hammer Studios that boasted memorable onscreen pairings between legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as, respectively, Count Dracula and his vampire-hunting nemesis Van Helsing. First up is Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972), which brought Lee and Cushing back together in these roles for the first time since Hammer’s original Dracula in 1958, and marked Cushing’s return to the role of Van Helsing for the first time since 1960’s The Brides of Dracula (which did not actually feature an onscreen appearance from Dracula). Updating the previous productions’ Victorian era settings to swinging, psychedelic early 1970s London, the film finds Lee’s bloodsucker being brought back to life and preying on a group of young partygoers, one of whom is a descendant of Van Helsing. Hammer continued Dracula A.D. 1972’s modern setting, and brought back many of its characters, for Lee and Cushing’s third and final Dracula/Van Helsing team-up — 1973’s The Satanic Rites of Dracula, which concludes tonight’s double feature. This movie also marked Lee’s final appearance as Dracula, while Cushing would appear once more as Van Helsing in Hammer’s last Dracula production, 1974’s The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires.

TCM, beginning at 6am
MOVIES!, beginning at 8:30am
Catch a Classic!

Enjoy several classic all-American movies that celebrate the history and spirit of our country in various ways with Independence Day lineups on Turner Classic Movies and MOVIES! TCM’s marathon begins with Ah, Wilderness! (1935), a comedy/drama based on Eugene O’Neill’s play and led by Wallace Beery and Lionel Barrymore. The film lovingly recaptures early 20th century Americana in a small New England town, with a story that takes place in part on the Fourth of July. The lineup then continues with John Paul Jones, a 1959 biopic about the titular Revolutionary War naval hero (played by Robert Stack); The Scarlet Coat (1955), a swashbuckler that dramatizes the events behind Benedict Arnold’s (Robert Douglas) traitorous actions during the Revolution; Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), the toe-tapping, Best Picture Oscar-nominated musical biopic about composer George M. Cohan (played by Best Actor Oscar winner James Cagney); 1776 (1972), the musical dramatization of events leading to the signing of the Declaration of Independence; and The Music Man (1962), the beloved musical set in a small Iowa town in the early 20th century, and led by Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. For its Fourth of July film marathon, MOVIES! is leading off and concluding with airings of Yankee Doodle Dandy and 1776. Sandwiched between those broadcasts are two classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals: State Fair (1945), starring Jeanne Crain and Dana Andrews, and featuring the Oscar-winning song “It Might as Well Be Spring”; and Carousel (1956), led by Gordon MacRae and Jones.

“Jaws”-ly 4th Marathon
Syfy, beginning at 12pm

“You yell ‘shark’ … we’ve got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July.” Well, Murray Hamilton’s inept Amity Mayor Vaughn was at least right about that in the classic thriller Jaws. And Syfy is ready to deliver its own July 4th shark panic today with a 15-hour marathon of all four films in the Jaws franchise. The lineup wisely gets the weaker entries out of the way first, beginning with the fourth installment — and the absolute nadir in the saga — 1987’s Jaws: The Revenge, followed by 1983’s marginally better Jaws 3-D. After that is the OK but unnecessary first sequel, 1978’s Jaws 2 (in which Vaughn is somehow still in office!). Then, in the evening, there are back-to-back airings of Steven Spielberg’s original 1975 masterpiece, before the day concludes with Jaws 2.

Star of the Month: Dana Andrews: “Dana in the ’40s”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Carver Dana Andrews — better known simply as Dana Andrews — is Turner Classic Movies’ Star of the Month for July. Each Tuesday night (and extending well into the following day) is dedicated to the actor’s films, with titles ranging from his leading-man heyday in dramas and films noir of the 1940s and early ’50s to his later transition into more supporting roles. The initial lineup of movies, beginning tonight and continuing into tomorrow morning, focuses on some highlights from Andrews’ early 1940s career, beginning with one of his first feature film appearances, a minor role in William Wyler’s Oscar-winning The Westerner (1940), led by Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan. After that is the film that helped solidify Andrews’ fame as a leading man: 1944’s Laura, Best Director Oscar nominee Otto Preminger’s film noir classic with the actor portraying a detective obsessed with the titular presumed murder victim, played by Gene Tierney. Andrews followed up Laura with an even bigger hit, costarring with Jeanne Crain in tonight’s next film, the Oscar-winning State Fair (1945). The film was the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical written directly for the screen and introduced popular tunes like the Oscar-winning “It Might as Well Be Spring” and “It’s a Grand Night for Singing” (Andrews is part of the latter musical number, with his singing voice dubbed by Ben Gage). Following that is Howard Hawks’ Oscar-nominated 1941 screwball comedy Ball of Fire, which re-teams Andrews with Cooper, and also stars Best Actress Oscar nominee Barbara Stanwyck. Finishing up this initial lineup of films featuring Andrews are: John Ford’s 1941 drama Tobacco Road; the U.S. Navy-produced 1943 propaganda documentary December 7th, about the Pearl Harbor attack; The North Star (1943), an Oscar-nominated war drama about the Ukrainian fight against Nazi invasion; and Up in Arms (1944), an Oscar-nominated musical led by Danny Kaye and Dinah Shore.

Roswell Crash 75th Anniversary
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

On July 8, 1947, balloon debris was recovered from a ranch near Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico. The reports surrounding this ended up leading, decades later, to conspiracy theories that what was found there was actually wreckage from an alien spacecraft, and the mythology that grew around the “Roswell incident” made itself quite at home in an American pop culture that had already been imagining beings from other worlds visiting Earth — often with sinister intentions — for a while, particularly in motion pictures. In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Roswell incident, Turner Classic Movies is airing a triple feature of terrific films that, while not dealing specifically with Roswell, are among the finest cinematic examples of our strong fascination with the possibility of alien visitors that led to such a mythology being able to take root in our popular consciousness. First up is Earth vs. the Flying Saucers (1956), produced within the initial decade when reports of, and interest in, what were originally called “flying saucers” but later more familiarly known as UFOs, were on the rise. The film is a simple, but fun, tale of alien invasion, with iconic stop-motion animation effects for the titular ships created by the legendary Ray Harryhausen, and scenes of those ships crashing into famous landmarks that clearly must have influenced similar moments 40 years later in 1996’s Independence Day and Mars Attacks! Next is John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), a remake of 1951’s The Thing From Another World. Both films were inspired by John W. Campbell Jr.’s novella Who Goes There?, but Carpenter’s is a more faithful adaptation, bringing the shape-shifting element to its antagonistic alien that torments an isolated Antarctic research team. The suspense of wondering who or what the Thing is currently impersonating, along with the intensely horrifying practical and makeup effects that still hold up quite well, and great performances from a cast led by Kurt Russell, make this one of the best sci-fi remakes (and the original was quite good in its own way). The evening concludes with another fantastic remake of a film whose original is also a classic: 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a reimagined adaptation of Don Siegel’s 1956 film (both based on Jack Finney’s novel The Body Snatchers). Led by Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy and Jeff Goldblum, this movie, like the original, manages to be both a suspenseful thriller about alien seed pods taking over and replicating human beings one body at a time, and an insightful commentary on the political and social mores of its particular era.
