What to Watch on TCM this Weekend

I'm actually praying for rain this weekend, because with the lineup on Turner Classic Movies, I'd love an excuse to stay indoors.

As the June salute to great directors continues, Friday brings us David Lean and Norman Jewison. I'm going for Dr. Zhivago at 1:30 Eastern, and Bridge on the River Kwai at 5:00 p.m. from Lean. Dessert will be Jewsion's Fiddler on the Roof at 1 a.m. Saturday. (I cried so hard when I saw this as a kid that a complete stranger sitting next to me patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Oh. honey don't cry. It's only a movie.")

Then Saturday is a complete Alfred Hitchcock festival, from Suspicion at 6 a.m. to The 39 Steps at 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning. I'll probably sleep through most of the Geroge Cukor movies Sunday, but I hope I can wake up in time for Born Yesterday at 6 p.m., and maybe My Fair Lady at 12:20 a.m. Monday morning.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
