Those Saturday matinees


I didn't notice until today that TCM started a new serial in the 9:30 AM slot last week, The Mysterious Mr. M from 1946. Looks like it's 12 chapters, which would take it through sometime in April since 31 Day of Oscar takes up five Saturdays.

Before that, in the just after 8:00 AM slot, is something that looks more appropriate for Noir Alley, Follow Me Quietly. Apparently I haven't blogged about it before, although for some reason I have a feeling I've seen it. Then again sometimes those B noirs and crime movies start running together.

The Bowery Boys movies continue in no particular chronological order, with 1949's Master Minds at 10:07 AM.

Finally, following the Saturday morning lineup, there's the other half of the salute to remakes, starting at noon with the excellent Five Came Back and its remake, Back from Eternity at 1:30 PM.
