I'm perusing TV Guide and I see this title, number two of the three movies that KTTV in L.A. programs all night, which have provided such unsung therapy over the years and are interspersed with Ralph Williams and that other benign used-car lot yokel with My Dog Storm. I had to watch it. I mean, there's movies and MOVIES! Allowing for the fact that even stations in L.A. and N.Y. can only buy so many films, there's still an awful lotta spiff items that them damn channels've got and only show once in a gnu's lifetime, and lots more that they've never bought or never show! Which is grounds for a People's uprising in any man's book.

In L.A., Albert Zugsmith's classic The Beat Generation is screened about once a year even though any movie with Mamie Van Doren deserves reprogramming at mathematical intervals.
