Michael Caine and Maggie Smith as a feuding couple in California Suite, not part of the tribute but the one picture of her I had
Two-time Oscar-winning actress Maggie Smith died in September at the age of 89. TCM is finally getting around to its programming tribute to her, which will take up all of prime time this evening. There will be five of her movies:
8:00 PM Nowhere to Go, a British movie from early in Smith's career;
10:00 PM The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which won Smith her first Oscar for her role as a free-thinking teacher in the 1930s;
Midnight Travels With My Aunt, with Smith as the bohemian aunt who shakes up her nephew's (Alec McCowen) life;
2:00 AM A Room With a View, where Smith plays the older traveling companion of Helena Bonham Carter in Florence in the early 20th century; and
4:00 AM Young Cassidy, which is really a vehicle for Rod Taylor as Irish playwright Sean O'Casey and sees Smith playing one of O'Casey's many lovers.
I don't think I'd ever heard of Nowhere to Go before; I saw the first half hour or so of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie once many years ago and had it on my DVR at my old house but never got around to watching it before I moved and had to return the DVR when I changed service providers. So I've got two more things to record and eventually get around to reviewing.
