What to Watch on TCM this Weekend
Wednesday June 17, 2009
As Turner Classic Movies continues its salute to great directors in the month of June, one of my favorites is coming up Friday: Blake Edwards. Noon Eastern brings us Victor, Victoria, one of Edwards' wife Julie Andrews' best films, and the fabulously funny A Shot in the Dark, the first of the Pink Panther movies with the one, the only Peter Sellers as bumbling Inspector Clouseau.
Saturday brings a salute to Mervyn LeRoy, and my pick there has always been his take on the successful stage play The Bad Seed. Nice and creepy, with one of the most evil movie kids ever to grace the silver screen, at 10:15 p.m.
Sunday, it's Vincente Minnelli, with Father of the Bride at 8 p.m. and the sequel, Father's Little Dividend after.
Enjoy!

can no one spell Minnelli (that’s M-i-n-n-e-l-l-i after all of these years, especially a film writer?
