TCM is showing two, that's right two noirs tommorrow Black Widow at 12:15(yes it's in color but its a good noir because it has Van Heflin in it, so there! And Laura at 3:45pm. so there you go. Plus like you already know Summer of Stars starts next month. Looking at the schedule, I see a Mae Clark day, Virginia Bruce, Marlene Deitrich, so plenty good films to choose from.

Suddenly...Frank Sinatra is in it and that's why I did not have an interest in that film. But I turned on TCM this morning to watch the last week of Summer of Darkness and there was Sterling Hayden. So I stayed on the channel. Seemed like a pretty good movie so keep watching, and there was Frank, and it was still a pretty good movie. I've been jaded by Frankie because the last 3 Sinatra movies I saw I hated and I heard of this film but skipped it. But I didn't pass over it today. So yes,Suddenly, it's a good noir watch it..
TCM has been showing William Powell movies earlier this week. A good Powell movie with him playing not so nice, but still a good film is Double Harness. He plays the proverbial cad. I always liked Ann Hardings acting, but they made her look a little too homely for me. They could have called the glam squad, but hey maybe matronly was the in look back then. So here's the film, check it out.. Well Summer of Darkness is over. I don't know what TCM is going to do on Friday's now that this is the last week of noirs. I'll be watching anyway. So Friday is the last week of noirs and of course alot of noirs this week are from the 50s.... The one's I'm really excited about seeing is Criss Cross. Just watched this film for the first time earlier this year. Burt Lancaster gets duped by a dame again and the Asphalt Jungle, a Sterling Hayden Classic.
So I'm looking at the TCM schedule for next Friday and what!! Wait! It's Summer under the Stars and it's Katherine Hepburn Day. Well played TCM. Well played. So you know what that means the name of my blog is no longer Joy's Classic Summer it is Joy Loves Old Movies: Insights on Classic Films. Oh the month of August is full of Blog Material. Let Summer under the Stars begin. Summer's not over.. it's just starting! Tuesday July 28th at 6:15am and 8:00am two of my favorite mystery movies is coming on: The Thin Man and After the Thin Man. It's the funniest, mystery classic comedy ever for me. I liked this movie on first viewing. William Powell had me when he told Asta to sit and just stood there. A cast of all kinds of crazy characters. It's just seemeless. These are two movies to watch if you haven't or watch again if you have.
