OBSESSION PREMIERES ON TCM TONIGHT
AS PART OF BERNARD HERRMANN SERIES
Brian De Palma's
Obsession makes its premiere on
Turner Classic Movies tonight at midnight, eastern time. TCM has been running a series on composer
Bernard Herrmann every Tuesday in September, and tonight's line-up is of particular interest to De Palma fans, as it highlights some of Herrmann's post-Hitchcock works of macabre suspense. It starts at 8pm eastern with
François Truffaut's Hitchcock homage,
The Bride Wore Black, followed by
Alastair Reid's
The Night Digger (10pm eastern), which features a screenplay by
Roald Dahl.
Obsession follows at midnight, and then the TCM premiere of
Martin Scorsese's
Taxi Driver runs at 2am eastern. Then at 4am eastern, TCM is showing the 2004 documentary
Scorsese On Scorsese. Time to set the DVR, or take the day off tomorrow.
Also, don't forget to check out
Laurent Bouzereau's
The Suspenseful World of Thrillers on TCM Friday night at 8pm eastern (repeated at 11pm eastern).
The Washington Times' Gary Arnold has posted a review of the special, which features interviews with
Paul Hirsch and
David Koepp.
