All TV, All the Time

So, as far as classic movies go, it's a good tv time. The day before yesterday, TCM showed Murder on The Orient Express. Which is significant only because Anthony Perkins was in it. Last night, as a special treat for me (okay, I'm considering it a special treat for me) there was this classic movie that I had on tape before, but lost. So, I got

Is it the anniversary of his birth, or something? It seems like an odd coincidence to have so many of his films playing in a clump like that, unless there's something significant about this month.

I always liked AP. He seemed like such a gentle, introspective actor. He had that vulnerability thing going on that I find intriguing when you infuse a character with it. I'd be interested in seeing him in the WWII pic, since I don't recall him in anything like that. What is it?

No, the WWII picture doesn't have him in it. It's just another movie that happens to be playing this month that I want to see. Although, he did have a small part in a movie called Paris is Burning, one of those epic war movies. He played a soldier. The movies they're showing are Goodbye Again (he plays the younger lover to a married Ingrid Bergman) and The Trial (Kafka, really, really weird movie). So, his movies are spread out over a few months. And, I'm glad you asked if there was some special reason for all these movies. They're showing about 4 of his movies on April 4th, his birthday. I had my dates mixed up.

I also agree about the vulnerability and gentleness about him.

and The Trial (Kafka, really, really weird movie)

Ooooo, I've seen that! He was awfully good in it.
