On Monday night, January 8, TCM has a True Crime Night, starting with Richard Brooks' In Cold Blood (1967) at 8 p.m. ET.
Brooks pushes an anti-death penalty theme by focusing on the killers played by Robert Blake and Scott Wilson, instead of the victims. Much of the film is spent making you feel sorry for them.
The "raspy-voiced" (per Eddie Muller) Paul Stewart plays a reporter who wails in effect, "Both are murder, the Clutter killings and hanging the two killers. Both murder." Stewart's character hangs his head and weeps as poor Perry Smith takes the drop.
This was Richard Brooks’ apparent message.
The night follows with 10 Rillington Place (1971) about a serial killer in 1940's and 50's London, The Honeymoon Killers (1969), and Dog Day Afternoon (1975).
The final entry deserves special mention, The Phenix City Story (1955) at 4:45 am ET. Set your DVR's. This one stars Richard Kiley, Edward Andrews, John McIntire, and James Edwards, in a key supporting role.
In the Fifties, when a black actor was needed, Edwards was called on.
The Phenix City Story concerns the "Dixie Mafia." McIntire plays Albert Patterson, who was shot by the mob after winning the Democratic nomination for Alabama AG.
Phil Karlson directed. It was the type of film Karlson was known for.
[N.S.: Dog Day Afternoon (1975), the darkly comical story of a gay loser (Al Pacino) who decides to rob a bank, in order to pay for his boyfriend’s (Chris Sarandon) sex-change operation, is on the short list of the greatest pictures ever shot on the streets of New York, and was the late Sidney Lumet’s masterpiece. It features an Academy Award nomination-worthy performance by Charles Durning as a New York City Police Department detective.]
