The Ipcress File
AMC+ & Sundance Now
New Series!

Harry Palmer, the protagonist of Len Deighton’s bestselling series of espionage novels published in the 1960s and ’70s, has become one of the most well-known fictional spies — even though the character was never named as such, or definitively named at all, in the books, and was only given that moniker in film adaptations famously led by Michael Caine beginning with 1965’s The Ipcress File, which was also the first novel to feature the man eventually known as Palmer. And now there is another first for The Ipcress File, with its remake as a TV series, and there’s no ambiguity about the lead character’s iconic name here: Joe Cole (Gangs of London, Peaky Blinders) steps into the shoes of Harry Palmer in this six-episode British adaptation. Like its print and film source materials, the series is set in the early 1960s, during the height of the Cold War. It begins when Palmer, an enterprising British corporal, gets rich smuggling stolen goods to the east until he is arrested. Intelligence officers soon recognize Palmer’s intellect and the impressive network of connections he has built, and they make him an offer to avoid prison by becoming a spy and aiding in their search for a missing nuclear physicist. Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander costar in the thriller, which was adapted by BAFTA-winning screenwriter John Hodge. New episodes are available Thursdays.

Kingdom Business
BET+

She is determined to guard her family and its many secrets at all costs. Her husband, Calvin Jordan (Michael Beach), may be the bishop at First Kingdom, but Denita is the true leader, and she has little tolerance for insurrection among her family and employees (and ex-employees). But suddenly, there is a new powerhouse performer on the Atlanta gospel scene — a young pole dancer named Rbel (Serayah), whose talent and pedigree may bring her closer to God and gold than she ever imagined.

Undiscovered: Edgewood
discovery+

From 1955 to 1975, the U.S. Army Chemical Corps conducted classified human subject research on thousands of soldiers at the Edgewood Arsenal facility in Maryland. The purpose was to evaluate the impact of potent, mind-altering chemical warfare agents on military personnel as an alternative to traditional mortal combat. Today, many of these soldiers believe that the military broke the law and engaged in a decades-long coverup to hide the truth about what really happened to them at Edgewood. Through shocking, never-before-seen footage of the drug experiments, along with exclusive, firsthand accounts from both the mastermind behind the research and the soldiers who participated in it, this documentary seeks to uncover the true story.

The Photographer: Murder in Pinamar
Netflix

Angelyne
Peacock
New Series!

Former Shameless star Emmy Rossum’s latest project finds her stepping, almost unrecognizably, into the glowing pink attire of blonde bombshell Angelyne (born Ronia Tamar Goldberg), a model/singer who became a Los Angeles icon starting in the 1980s through a series of self-promotional billboards that revolutionized the concept of someone being famous just for being famous. Rossum, who is also an executive producer of this quirky limited series, says that she has “spent the better part of four years thinking, living and breathing this project. I love Angelyne. It’s as if Marilyn Monroe got into an Easy-Bake Oven with an ’80s punk Barbie doll and a dose of New Age spirituality. She’s a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the original influencer, a living, breathing piece of art.” Showrunner and executive producer Allison Miller explains that the series is more of an homage to Angelyne and her ethos. “This isn’t the true story of Angelyne. It’s not a straightforward biopic. It’s a story inspired by everything Angelyne represents, and so it’s a magical story, a hopeful story, a story about becoming the person you were meant to be and believing in your own inner strength to manifest your dreams. It’s [also] a story about Los Angeles and everything the city means to people who move here and to people who dream about moving here.” Angelyne costars Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky, Hamish Linklater, Charlie Rowe and Lukas Gage. All episodes are available today.

Star of the Month: Anna May Wong
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Thursday night celebration of pioneering Chinese American actress Anna May Wong continues this evening with three of her films, followed by an encore presentation of the 2019 documentary Yellowface: Asian Whitewashing and Racism in Hollywood. The film lineup begins with Daughter of Shanghai (1937), a crime drama prepared specifically as a starring vehicle for Wong, and one of her few films where she has top billing. It’s also a film that is unique for its time in that it features two prominent Asian American actors as leads. Wong plays Lan Ying Lin, a woman who turns detective to track down the human traffickers who killed her father, joined in the process by government agent Kim Lee (portrayed by Philip Ahn, a pioneer among Korean American actors in Hollywood). The thriller was added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2006. After that is a film featuring a much smaller role for Wong: 1933’s A Study in Scarlet, a mystery led by Reginald Owen as Sherlock Holmes. Wong, despite her second billing in the film, gets about 10 minutes of screen time here as Mrs. Pyke, one of the suspects in a series of murders among members of a secret society. The final film airing before the documentary encore is When Were You Born (1938), another murder mystery. Wong plays an astrologer who, to clear her name, uses her zodiacal skills to help police catch a killer after the man whose death she predicted is indeed found dead under suspicious circumstances the next day.

Beach Blanket Bingo
TCM, 8pm
Catch a Classic!

This fun 1965 film is the fifth, and possibly best remembered, entry in American International Pictures’ (AIP) famous series of teen-focused ’60s party films that were usually set at the beach (though one spinoff title was set at a ski resort). As a number of these movies famously were, this one is led by Frankie Avalon (in his last starring role in a beach film) and Annette Funicello. The plot is silly, of course, and frankly unimportant; the movie effectively delivers to viewers the same thing that is of principal importance to its characters — an “endless summer,” just-hanging-out party kind of a vibe. Beyond Frankie and Annette, the rest of the cast includes an interesting range of actors, notably Linda Evans in one of her first feature films; Don Rickles; Paul Lynde; Harvey Lembeck; Deborah Walley, who would also appear in a few more of AIP’s beach films; Marta Kristen; and even silent filmmaking legend Buster Keaton, who would also make a cameo in AIP’s How to Stuff a Wild Bikini later in ’65.

Strangers on a Train
TCM, 4:15pm
Catch a Classic!

Robert Burks rightly earned an Oscar nomination for his black-and-white cinematography in this 1951 suspense classic based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel, but how Alfred Hitchcock did not receive a directing nod, nor Robert Walker an acting nomination for his chilling performance as Bruno Antony, is beyond us. Either way, it is a thrilling watch, as pro tennis player Guy Haines (Farley Granger) has the bad luck of happening to sit next to Walker’s Antony on a train, and their conversation turns toward Antony “jokingly” suggesting that the two men “trade murders” — Antony will kill Haines’ wife if Haines kills Antony’s father. Unfortunately for Haines, the deranged Antony is not joking at all; he proceeds with his end of the deal, and makes life increasingly terrifying for Haines in order to get him to hold up his. The film’s famous climax aboard an out-of-control carousel isn’t the only way in which the Master of Suspense delivers a memorable thrill ride with this production.

Catch a Classic!

Turner Classic Movies’ final Monday celebration of the work of legendary musical choreographer/director Busby Berkeley concludes with today’s 14-film lineup that runs the gamut from some of his earliest big-screen work to the last films featuring his contributions. First up is the 1932 romantic adventure drama Bird of Paradise, on which Berkeley was an uncredited choreographer for a dance scene. This is followed by three films on which Berkeley served as the overall director: the musical comedies I Live for Love (1935), led by Dolores del Rio, and Bright Lights (1935), starring Joe E. Brown and Ann Dvorak; and She Had to Say Yes (1933), a drama starring Loretta Young that marked Berkeley’s directorial debut. Next are two short films that include highlights of notable Berkeley-staged dance numbers: Three Cheers for the Girls (1943) is a 16-minute showcase of six production numbers from various Warner Bros. musicals, while the 19-minute Calling All Girls (1942) shows the process that Warner Bros. used to select women for the chorus line in movie musicals, presenting as examples clips from 1930s Berkeley production numbers. Moving back into feature film territory, the lineup continues with Born to Sing (1942), featuring a finale with a musical number directed by Berkeley, followed by two early 1950s productions that he choreographed: Two Weeks With Love (1950) and Two Tickets to Broadway (1951). Beginning in primetime and continuing into early tomorrow morning are five films from Berkeley’s later career as a film choreographer: Million Dollar Mermaid (1952), starring Esther Williams; another Williams-led musical, Easy to Love (1953); Small Town Girl (1953), featuring Jane Powell, Farley Granger and Ann Miller; Rose Marie (1954), with Ann Blyth and Howard Keel; and Billy Rose’s Jumbo (1962), based on the Rodgers and Hart stage musical, and starring Doris Day, Jimmy Durante and Martha Raye, which was Berkeley’s final film as choreographer.

The Responder
BritBox
New Series!

Martin Freeman stars in this British police procedural that is set in Liverpool and is the first original television project for creator/writer Tony Schumacher, who formerly worked with the police force in Merseyside, the English county in which Liverpool is located. The Responder holds a mirror up to the emotional extremes of life on the front line of British policing — sometimes darkly funny, sometimes painfully tragic and always challenging. It follows five nights in the life of Chris Carson (Freeman), a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer (aka “responder”) tackling a series of night shifts on his beat. “A responder is someone who never gives you good news,” Schumacher explains, “somebody who kicks in doors, races round town centers. … When I first joined the police, I remember on my second or third night, an old bobby called Colin said to me, ‘You will never knock on someone’s door and tell them they’ve won the lottery.’ You are only ever going to deliver bad news in this job, so it’s a big responsibility to take on — but conversely, it’s incredibly exciting. Occasionally, you do things that change people’s lives.” Amid that tense backdrop, while trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Carson is forced to take on a new rookie partner, Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo), and both of them soon discover that survival in this high-pressure, relentless nighttime world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other. The Responder aired in the U.K. earlier this year to mostly positive reviews and has been renewed for a second season. — Jeff Pfeiffer

Score by Jerry Goldsmith
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Jerry Goldsmith ranks as one of Hollywood’s most prolific, innovative and influential composers and conductors; over his six-decade career, he scored everything from episodes of The Twilight Zone and The Waltons (along with that series’ theme music) among his television work, to feature films across various genres, including horror movies (like Gremlins and his Oscar-winning score for The Omen), dramas (such as Rudy and his Oscar-nominated score for Patton), thrillers (including Basic Instinct and his Oscar-nominated score for Chinatown), action flicks (such as Rambo: First Blood Part II and Air Force One); sci-fi/fantasy films (his Oscar-nominated scores for the original Planet of the Apes and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, among those); and more. Goldsmith racked up 18 Academy Award nominations and one win over his career, and he is one of only five composers — along with fellow film-scoring legends Elmer Bernstein, Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner and John Williams — to have had more than one score selected for inclusion on the American Film Institute’s 2005 list of the 25 greatest film scores in American cinema. Tonight’s lineup on Turner Classic Movies celebrates the diversity and enduring legacy of Goldsmith with four films for which he composed the scores. The evening starts with Seven Days in May (1964), director John Frankenheimer’s political thriller, featuring a screenplay by Rod Serling, about a military-political cabal’s planned takeover of the U.S. government. Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March and Ava Gardner star. Up next is the inspired-by-a-true-story prison break classic Papillon (1973), which stars Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, and which earned Goldsmith an Oscar nomination for his emotional score. Following that is a film that boasts one of Goldsmith’s finest scores of the 1980s, and one that earned him yet another Oscar nod: Poltergeist (1982). Producer/cowriter Steven Spielberg’s haunted house thriller is greatly enhanced by Goldsmith’s memorable music, not only through the more exciting and fast-moving parts of the score, but also via the more quietly ominous elements of the movie’s main theme, the simultaneously soothing and creepy, lullaby-like “Carol Anne’s Theme.” The Goldsmith celebration concludes with The Wind and the Lion (1975), the action-packed Sean Connery and Candice Bergen-led war film that boasts another Oscar-nominated score by Goldsmith, who earned praise for incorporating a large and diverse ensemble of instruments for this music, including many from Morocco, the movie’s setting.

When they attempt to buy drugs and get high at the end of a long day, they find themselves caught in a drug deal with a Palestinian crime family who ultimately see the three indebted students as ideal accomplices for getting their goods distributed among local youth. This gets them into trouble with the local crime world, the police and their own families. The trio realizes that, in order to unload the drugs, they have to create the “new Palestinian scene.” In their own unique way, they decide to initiate an anti-war protest in the form of a large music festival featuring Jews and Palestinians together. In the process, they create a historic moment in the Palestinian and Jewish underground scene. The series is in Arabic and Hebrew languages, with English subtitles. All 10 episodes are available today.

Star of the Month: Anna May Wong
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!

Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Thursday night celebration of the films of pioneering Asian American actress Anna May Wong concludes tonight with three of her later movies. First is the network premiere of Lady From Chungking (1942). This was produced during a period when Wong was not making many movies, instead focusing her attention on events and appearances in support of China’s struggle against Japan; while Japan’s war with the United States was just beginning in 1942, its military aggression toward China had been ongoing since the ’30s and was a cause toward which Wong was passionate about bringing attention. Lady From Chungking was one of two anti-Japanese propaganda war films she starred in that year, donating her salary from both toward relief for China. In its tale of Chinese guerrillas fighting against Japanese occupiers, Lady From Chungking differs from the many other war films that filled theaters during this time in that the Chinese characters are portrayed as empowered heroes rather than victims awaiting rescue by Americans; in fact, one of the plotlines here finds the guerrillas, led by Wong’s character, trying to rescue two downed American pilots from Japanese custody. Wong did not appear in another film until seven years later, when she took on a small role as a housekeeper in tonight’s next movie, the B-movie film noir Impact (1949). In the 1950s, Wong went on another movie hiatus and instead focused on television appearances — including as the title character in the 1951 detective drama The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, the first U.S. television series with an Asian American as the lead. She returned to the big screen in tonight’s final film in TCM’s lineup: Portrait in Black, a 1960 thriller led by Lana Turner and Anthony Quinn that marked Wong’s final film appearance.

If all you’ve seen of Robert Redford’s 1972 film Jeremiah Johnson is the ubiquitous “bearded guy nodding approvingly” clip from the movie that has been used as a popular internet reaction meme for about a decade, here’s your chance to check out the full, compelling source material. In director Sydney Pollack’s film — the first Western to ever be accepted into the Cannes Film Festival, where it was in competition for the highest prize, the Palme d’Or — Redford plays the title character, a veteran of the Mexican-American War who becomes an isolated mountain man enduring cruel winters alone in the Rockies, supporting himself as a trapper while engaged in a personal war with the Crow warriors responsible for the deaths of his common-law wife and adopted son. Based partly on the life of real-life mountain man John Jeremiah Johnson, the film features terrific location filming shot in many areas across Utah.
