Star of the Month: Anna May Wong
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Enjoy three more memorable films featuring pioneering Chinese American movie star Anna May Wong tonight on Turner Classic Movies. First is the drama Piccadilly (1929), which was Wong’s last silent film and one of the British productions she made. It certainly made a splash in Britain thanks to Wong’s sensual performance and dance scenes. The film wasn’t as sensual as originally intended, however; a planned scene involving a kiss between Wong’s character and her white love interest was cut to appease American movie censors of the time, who would not allow interracial intimacy to be depicted onscreen (this was among the racist practices that frustratingly tended to keep Wong outside of the leading-lady status she clearly should have had). The rediscovery and restoration of Piccadilly roughly 20 years ago aided in the rediscovery and restoration of Wong’s reputation as well, with some modern critics considering it to be her best film. A Variety review at the time of Piccadilly’s release pointed out that Wong outshines the movie’s top-billed actress, Gilda Gray, and tonight’s next film features another instance where Wong has generally been seen to have upstaged her higher-billed costar. This time, it is in her sexually charged scenes with the legendary Marlene Dietrich in Best Director Oscar nominee Josef von Sternberg’s Best Picture Oscar-nominated romantic adventure Shanghai Express (1932). Concluding the triple feature tonight is another of Wong’s early sound features, Daughter of the Dragon (1931), which costars Sessue Hayakawa, who, with Wong, was one of the few well-known actors of Asian heritage during that time. Here, Wong, in one of the last of the stereotypical scheming “dragon lady” roles she was frequently offered early on, portrays Princess Ling Moy, the vengeful daughter of Dr. Fu Manchu (played by Swedish American actor Warner Oland in another example of the racist “yellowface” practice common to that era). Beyond the typecasting based on race, Wong also faced discrimination of another sort on Daughter of the Dragon when it came to her paycheck versus those of her male costars; despite being the top-billed cast member, she was paid $4,000 less than Hayakawa for her work, and $6,000 less than Oland, who is in the film for just under 25 minutes.

Robert Mitchum is absolutely chilling as tattoo-knuckled corrupt religious fanatic/serial killer Harry Powell, one of the screen’s most unforgettable villains, in Charles Laughton’s superb 1955 thriller, the only film Laughton, most remembered as an actor, directed. In the movie, Powell marries a fragile widow (Shelley Winters) to try to learn where her late husband hid a large sum of cash from a robbery. When his plans are uncovered by her terrified young children (Billy Chapin and Sally Jane Bruce), it begins a pursuit that becomes a mesmerizing allegory for the battle between good and evil. Lillian Gish costars in a terrific performance. The Night of the Hunter is one of those classics that was not recognized as such during the time of its release, flopping with critics and audiences. Over the decades, its reputation has grown, and it is now considered one of the greatest films ever made; it was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 1992.

The Poseidon Adventure
MOVIES!, 8pm
Catch a Classic!
One of the most-remembered, and best, of the epic, all-star disaster movies made during the 1970s, this 1972 film from producer Irwin Allen features one of the most “all-star” of those casts, with an ensemble comprised of five Oscar winners: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Albertson, Shelley Winters and Red Buttons.

Led by a determined preacher (Hackman), a small group of survivors attempts to escape by making their way up to the bottom of the boat, hoping that it hasn’t been completely submerged. A popular blockbuster in its time, the film was nominated for eight Oscars (including Best Supporting Actress for Winters), and won for Best Original Song (“The Morning After” by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn). The impressive visual effects by L.B. Abbott and A.D. Flowers were honored with a Special Achievement Award by the Academy.

Special Theme: Busby Berkeley
TCM, beginning at 6am
Catch a Classic!
Get ready to tap your toes with another Monday evening of films from legendary musical choreographer/director Busby Berkeley as Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong salute continues with 13 more titles. The morning into the early evening features more 1930s musicals that he worked on in various capacities, beginning with Stars Over Broadway (1935), for which Berkeley staged and directed the musical numbers; In Caliente (1935, choreographer and director of the numbers); The Singing Marine (1937, choreographer and director of the numbers); and Broadway Serenade (1939, choreographer and director of the finale). The next three films are ones for which Berkeley received his only Oscar nominations, three consecutive nods for Best Dance Direction during the brief, three-year span when the Academy featured that category: Varsity Show (1937), for which Berkeley was nominated for his direction of the finale; Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935), for which Berkeley received a nomination for his direction of the impressively elaborate numbers set to “The Words Are in My Heart” and the Oscar-winning song “Lullaby of Broadway,” one of the choreographer’s most famous stagings; and Gold Diggers of 1937 (1936), for which Berkeley was nominated for his direction of the “Love and War” number. Following these is the last entry in the Gold Diggers series of films, Gold Diggers in Paris (1938), on which Berkeley served as choreographer and director of the musical numbers. As today’s lineup heads into primetime and later, the focus is on films from the 1940s to which Berkeley notably contributed: 1941’s Ziegfeld Girl and Lady Be Good, on which he was director of the musical numbers; 1943’s Girl Crazy (he directed the “I Got Rhythm” finale) and Cabin in the Sky (director of the “Shine” sequence); and Romance on the High Seas (1948), a romantic musical comedy featuring Doris Day in her film debut, and on which Berkeley served as choreographer.

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.

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.

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.

NBC, 8pm

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.
