Turner Classic Movies is honoring Sinatra by showing his films on Sunday and Wednesday evenings in May.
I seldom use my blog to give a plug for TV programming, but this is a special occasion. Sinatra was a rare talent, combining singing ability with acting skills.
Many of Sinatra's better films are still to be aired in TCM's salute. Tonight, for example, "Guys and Dolls" will be aired at 11 p.m. Central time. It's not one of Sinatra's best performances, but it is one of his better movies.
On Wednesday, the actual anniversary of Sinatra's death, TCM will show Sinatra, Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby in "High Society" at 11:15 p.m. Central time.Next Sunday, it's worth your time to catch Sinatra in "Pal Joey" at 8 p.m. Central time.
On Wednesday the 21st, the original "Ocean's Eleven" will be on at 7 p.m. Central time.
On Sunday the 25th, one of the best Sinatra films, "On the Town," will be on at 7 p.m. Central time.
And the salute to Sinatra wraps up on Wednesday the 28th with a bang -- "The Man With the Golden Arm" at 7 p.m. Central, the original "Manchurian Candidate" at 9:15 p.m. Central, "Not as a Stranger" at 11:30 p.m. Central and "Suddenly" at 2 a.m. Central.
Enjoy.
