Monday at Midnight (or technically, Tuesday morning) an Elvis Triple feature:
- 12:00 "Girl Happy". Great title tune, and a scene with Elvis in drag! Best line: "keep your motor running." Trust me, in context, it's a classic!
- 2:00 AM "Blue Hawaii"
- 4:00 AM "Clambake"
Baseball movies on Wednesday:
- 10:00 AM "Pride of the Yankees". Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig. MGM sold this as a love story more than a baseball flick, but if you can watch this without tearing up, I don't think I want to know you. Plus, Babe Ruth plays himself in this movie, and that alone makes this one worth watching.
- 5:30 PM "Angels in the Outfield" (1951). Cutie movie, but for older Pittsburghers and Pirates fans, you know that the real star of this flick is Forbes Field.
TCM is also showing "The Babe Ruth Story" (1951) starring William Bendix as Ruth. I don't recommend this because it is unwatchable. Really awful. How Holly wood has never been able to make a good movie about one of America's most fascinating men is a real mystery.
