Very early Sunday morning, Turner Classic Movies is running Pretty Maids All in a Row, a 1971 movie produced and written by Gene Roddenberry. It's not a very good film but it interested me greatly when it came out because much of it was filmed at University High School in West Los Angeles, shortly after I graduated from the place.
Well, actually, what really interested me was seeing my alma mater depicted as a place crawling with beautiful young ladies who'd have sex with anyone and everyone. Given the reality of Uni High, I always thought of the movie as Roddenberry's greatest contribution to the world of science-fiction…as if casting Rock Hudson as a rabid heterosexual wasn't incredible enough.
And then all day long Sunday, TCM is running film after film starring Walter Matthau…or as we described it in here, "Walter Matthau, ad nauseam."
On Wednesday, they're running Soylent Green. In case you weren't aware, Soylent Green is (SPOILER ALERT) people.
On Thursday, they have a heaping helping of Carole Lombard. Then on Friday, you can get sick of seeing Bela Lugosi. It's quite a week on Turner Classic Movies.
