TCM Spotlight: Revisionist Westerns: “Revisionist Classics”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies turns its monthly spotlight on Revisionist Westerns in June. Revisionist Westerns, which really began coming into their own in the late 1960s, subverted the themes found in earlier films in the Western genre, and upended the traditional myth and romance of the Old West originally depicted in movies, and added complications to their storylines and characters beyond the fairly simplistic “white hat vs. black hat” conflicts and tropes of traditional Westerns. Each Thursday night this month, TCM will air a lineup of notable examples of this Western subgenre grouped by themes, beginning this evening with four recognized classics of the revisionist type: the Best Picture Oscar-nominated Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and with an Oscar-winning screenplay by William Goldman; Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), led by Warren Beatty and Best Actress Oscar nominee Julie Christie in the title roles; Bad Company (1972), starring Barry Brown and Jeff Bridges, a film classified by some critics over the years as part of the “acid Western” sub-subgenre of Westerns produced during the counterculture era of the late ’60s/early ’70s; and Doc (1971), a retelling of the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, starring Stacy Keach as Doc Holliday, Faye Dunaway as Kate Elder and Harris Yulin as Wyatt Earp.

Star of the Month: Judy Garland
TCM, beginning at 1pm
Catch a Classic!
Every Friday this month on Turner Classic Movies, enjoy several hours of classic performances from Frances Ethel Gumm — better known as iconic actress/singer Judy Garland. Today’s initial lineup includes more than 12 hours of seven titles representing some of Garland’s earliest work. It begins, appropriately, with her film debut in the 1936 college-set musical comedy Pigskin Parade, which featured the teenage Garland billed way below other cast members like Stuart Erwin and her future Wizard of Oz costar Jack Haley. Up next is Garland’s second film, Broadway Melody of 1938, a 1937 musical that remains most notable for her rendition of the song “You Made Me Love You (I Didn’t Want to Do It),” a tribute to Clark Gable that turned the 15-year-old actress into an overnight sensation. Garland continued her rise to the top in 1938 with tonight’s next two films: the musical Everybody Sing, in which she had second billing between Allan Jones and Fanny Brice; and the musical comedy Listen, Darling, which featured her leading a cast that also includes Freddie Bartholomew, Mary Astor and Walter Pidgeon. Following that is Babes in Arms, a coming-of-age Broadway musical that, along with The Wizard of Oz, was one of the films that made 1939 the year Garland truly became a superstar. For her work in those classics, the 17-year-old was honored at the 1940 Oscar ceremony with the Academy Juvenile Award “for her outstanding performance as a screen juvenile during the past year.” Babes in Arms costars Best Actor Oscar nominee Mickey Rooney. This was the second of Garland and Rooney’s memorable onscreen pairings, and the duo team up again in today’s final two musicals, which were follow-ups of sorts to Babes in Arms. Babes on Broadway (1941) was directed by famed choreographer Busby Berkeley, but Garland’s big solo numbers were helmed by uncredited future legend Vincente Minnelli, who would go on to memorably direct the actress in classics like Meet Me in St. Louis. He and Garland were also married from 1945-51, and were parents to a daughter who became a singing and acting icon in her own right: Liza Minnelli. The day concludes with the 1940 Garland/Rooney musical Strike Up the Band.

Special Theme: Follow the Thread: “When Fashion and Costume Collide”
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Each Saturday evening in June, Turner Classic Movies’ “Follow the Thread” special theme will spotlight a double feature of films associated with a particular theme having to do with fashion in memorable Hollywood productions. Tonight’s lineup is a twin bill of movies that are notable examples of times when fashion designers and costume designers, who generally have distinct goals and responsibilities, have had to work together with their artistry to make a film. These collaborations haven’t always been easy (or friendly), but the output was often stunning, as it was in tonight’s productions. Up first is Stage Fright (1950), the Alfred Hitchcock-helmed mystery starring Marlene Dietrich as a glamorous high-society singer. The costume designer was Milo Anderson, known for creating Joan Crawford’s waitress uniform in Mildred Pierce, the chorus girl costumes in 42nd Street and Lana Turner’s tight sweater in They Won’t Forget (the reason Turner became famous as “The Sweater Girl”). Anderson was a pro, but Dietrich insisted that her costumes be designed by the legendary Christian Dior’s fashion house. Hitchcock and studio head Jack Warner didn’t like the idea, but the star insisted (her phrase “No Dior, no Dietrich” became famous) and, ultimately, both relented. The result was an exquisite assortment of dresses, jackets and gowns that made Dietrich stand out. Her much younger costar, Jane Wyman, was distraught because she looked so unsophisticated in comparison. Following that is the iconic 1954 romantic comedy Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn. Few actresses have been as associated with fashion as Hepburn was, and it was this film that started her path toward becoming a style icon. Famed costume designer Edith Head was responsible for the costumes in the film and had already started sketching dresses for the actress when she learned that Hepburn actually wanted to wear “real” Paris clothing once her character transforms from a shy girl into a sophisticated and confident woman. Hepburn went to Paris, where she found a collection of dresses designed by Hubert de Givenchy that she thought was right for her character. Head was disappointed to be left with the much less glamorous wardrobe, but the contrast was perfect for the movie. Sabrina went on to win the Oscar for its costumes, but in accepting the award, Head never mentioned Givenchy’s contribution.
