Another chance to catch Marnie

Thelma Ritter and James Stewart in a scene from Rear Window (1954), kicking off the night at 8:00 PM

Thanksgiving morning and afternoon on TCM is being given over to a bunch of family-friendly movies. But once we hit prime time, we're going to get something that's not quite so family-friendly: 24 hours of Alfred Hitchcock. The night kicks off at 8:00 PM with Rear Window. Yesterday, I mentioned that TCM was running Marnie as part of the salute to the late Sean Connery. That's on tomorrow at 2:00 PM.

A scene from Psycho (1960), about the Bates family

I suppose some of the movies have to do with families, however. James Stewart and his wife Doris Day find that their kid gets kidnapped in the 1950s remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much, which seems to air less often than some of the other Hitchcock movies. It'll be on tonight at 10:00 PM. There's also the family in Shadow of a Doubt, with Teresa Wright and her uncle Joseph Cotten central to the action; that shows up at 6:00 PM tomorrow. And there's also Norman Bates and his mom in Psycho (overnight at 2:30 PM). That reminds that that I used the following old photo on Photobucket and now would be a good time to put another copy of it on Blogger thanks to the change in the Photobucket data caps several years ago:

Another one that I was going to re-upload was of Norman Lloyd on the boat heading toward the Statue of Liberty in the climax of Saboteur (9:30 AM tomorrow), but that's one that I'd already uploaded several years back:

Only one of Hitchcock's British movies is part of the lineup, that being The Lady Vanishes at 6:00 AM. I've got a picture of Dame May Whitty I've used, and a picture of Caldicott and Chalmers, but I'm not certain if either of those are from The Lady Vanishes.
