TCM Birthday Tribute: Debbie Reynolds
TCM, beginning at 6:30am
Catch a Classic!
Famed actress/singer/dancer Mary Frances “Debbie” Reynolds would have turned 90 today (she was born April 1, 1932, in El Paso; she passed away Dec. 28, 2016, in Los Angeles at age 84). To remember her on this special day, Turner Classic Movies is devoting its schedule from morning into the early evening with a lineup of seven memorable musicals and comedies led by Reynolds. First up is the 1953 musical romantic comedy Give a Girl a Break, in which Reynolds costars with the dance team of Marge and Gower Champion, with a young Bob Fosse in a featured role. The film features a number of songs by Ira Gershwin and Burton Lane, including the title tune. Next, Reynolds costars with Glenn Ford in the romantic comedy It Started With a Kiss (1959); gives a Best Actress Oscar-nominated performance as the title character in the 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown; costars with then real-life husband Eddie Fisher in the 1956 musical Bundle of Joy; joins Tony Randall in the 1959 comedy The Mating Game, for which she also sings the title tune during the opening credits; does a little Singin’ in the Rain (and some dancin’) with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor in that iconic 1952 musical that made her a star; and costars with Frank Sinatra in the 1955 comedy The Tender Trap. — Jeff Pfeiffer

Opening Day MOVIES!
MOVIES!, beginning at 8:45am
Ahead of next week’s opening of the 2022 Major League Baseball season, MOVIES! offers you an early chance to head out to the old ball game with a triple feature of classic baseball-themed movies. Leading off is the 1949 comedy It Happens Every Spring, starring Ray Milland as a chemistry professor who accidentally discovers a fluid that repels wood. Realizing the possibilities from applying this fluid to a baseball, he takes a leave of absence to join the big leagues, where he becomes an unhittable pitching sensation. Up next in the order is another comedy, 1953’s The Kid From Left Field. A struggling baseball team goes through a phenomenal transformation when a washed-up former ballplayer (Dan Dailey) secretly passes winning tips to the team through his son, who is the team’s bat boy (Billy Chapin). But can the turnaround last when the team owner promotes the kid to manager? The film costars Anne Bancroft in one of her earlier film appearances. The Kid From Left Field was a reunion for star Dailey and director Harmon Jones, who had collaborated a year earlier on today’s third and final baseball-themed classic, the Oscar-nominated 1952 biographical drama The Pride of St. Louis, about the life of Hall-of-Fame pitcher Jerome Herman “Dizzy” Dean (portrayed by Dailey). Joanne Dru and Richard Crenna, in one of his earlier film roles, costar. — Jeff Pfeiffer

Little Caesar & The Public Enemy
MOVIES!, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Enjoy a double feature of two classic films released within a few months of each other in early 1931 that helped set the template for what audiences going forward would expect from a gangster film and etched various gangster-movie archetypes into the public’s imagination. They also solidified their little-known-at-the-time leads as Hollywood legends (who, despite acting in many other varied kinds of roles, remain forever linked, or even typecast, as these tough-guy criminal characters). First up is the Oscar-nominated Little Caesar, starring Edward G. Robinson and released in January 1931. The 37-year-old Robinson, not gifted with matinee-idol looks, powerfully introduced himself here as a first-class star of the silver screen with his mesmerizing performance as pugnacious Caesar Enrico “Rico” Bandello, a hoodlum with a Chicago-sized chip on his shoulder, few attachments, fewer friends and no sense of underworld diplomacy as he rises to the upper echelons of organized crime. With Little Caesar, moviegoers would begin to hail similar hard-hitting social consciousness dramas that would become a Depression-era mainstay of Warner Bros., including tonight’s next film: the Oscar-nominated The Public Enemy, released by the studio in April 1931. Just as Little Caesar established Robinson as a star and forever linked him with his title character, The Public Enemy did the same for James Cagney thanks to his explosive breakthrough performance here as streetwise tough guy Tom Powers, who tries to rise in the ranks of organized crime. Set near the beginning of Prohibition — and produced while it was still in effect — the film is a virtual time capsule of that era, bristling with 1920s style, dialogue and desperation.
