TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies concludes its monthlong Sunday night salute to notable Black films, filmmakers and actors tonight, beginning with director/cowriter Spike Lee’s acclaimed, epic 1992 biopic Malcolm X. Denzel Washington justly earned an Oscar nomination for his passionate portrayal of famed Black activist Malcolm Little, better known by the name that marks this film’s title. Running well over three hours, the film traces the famed orator’s personal odyssey from zoot suit-wearing gangster to prison inmate to Nation of Islam spokesman and political lightning rod. The large and exceptional cast also includes Angela Bassett as Malcolm’s wife and fellow activist Betty Shabazz; Delroy Lindo as West Indian Archie, a Harlem gangster who takes young Malcolm under his wing; and Al Freeman Jr. as Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Following Malcolm X is a short documentary related to the events and times depicted in that film: 1968’s Black Panthers. Directed by French New Wave pioneer Agnès Varda, the film focuses on the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California, during protests over the arrest of party cofounder Huey P. Newton for the murder of police officer John Frey in 1967. Interviewees featured in Varda’s film include Newton himself, Kathleen Cleaver and others. The evening concludes with the 1929 silent film The Scar of Shame, a melodrama that was among the so-called “race films” of the era — productions featuring an all-Black cast that were made specifically for Black audiences. — Jeff Pfeiffer

TCM Birthday Tribute: Vincente Minnelli
TCM, beginning at 6am
Catch a Classic!
Lester Anthony Minnelli, better known as legendary stage and screen director Vincente Minnelli, was born in Chicago on this date in 1903 (he passed away July 25, 1986, at age 83 in Beverly Hills, California). Most remembered for the iconic movie musicals he directed, Minnelli also helmed comedies and dramas, and a nice mix of genres will be presented this morning and afternoon as Turner Classic Movies commemorates the director with a lineup of some of his works. First up is The Clock, a romantic drama from 1945 that was one of the earlier big-screen productions that Minnelli directed (he began his movie-directing career in 1943, at age 40). The Clock stars Judy Garland and Robert Walker, and is notable as Garland’s first dramatic role and her first starring performance that did not feature her singing. Next is Designing Woman (1957), a spry, Oscar-winning romantic farce starring Gregory Peck and Lauren Bacall. Today’s first Minnelli musical airs next: 1958’s Gigi, which won all nine of the Oscars for which it was nominated, including Best Picture and Best Director for Minnelli (his first and only win in that category). Following that is Minnelli’s first non-musical comedy, the 1950 classic Father of the Bride, led by Best Actor Oscar nominee Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. Things get more melodramatic with the next movie, The Bad and the Beautiful, a soapy 1952 tale starring Lana Turner, Best Actor Oscar nominee Kirk Douglas and Best Supporting Actress winner Gloria Grahame. The film won five of the six Oscars for which it was nominated, but strangely, it did not receive nominations for Best Picture or for Minnelli’s direction. It’s back to musicals as the Minnelli birthday celebration concludes with today’s final two films: the Best Picture Oscar-winning An American in Paris (1951), which stars Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in her film debut, and earned Minnelli his first Best Director Oscar nomination; followed by Brigadoon (1954), starring Kelly, Van Johnson and Cyd Charisse. — Jeff Pfeiffer
