Oct. 19, 2023 FXM update

I mentioned at the beginning of the month that FXM seemed to have changed up its rotation the same way it did last October. In looking through the schedule, I notice that tomorrow, Friday October 20, is a day with a bunch of movies all of which haven't been on the schedule in a while. But I think I've blogged about all of them before, so you get a bunch of links to the old posts:

3:00 AM Pirates of Tortuga, a pirate cheapie made during the wait to get Cleopatra finished;
4:40 AM Born Reckless, from John Ford's early days at Fox;
6:00 AM Immortal Sergeant, starring Henry Fonda as a Canadian serving with the British in World War II;
7:35 AM Captain from Castile, starring Tyrone Power as the captain who winds up with Cortes fighting the Aztecs in Mexico;
10:00 AM Prince of Foxes, another Tyrone Power period piece that really needed to be in color;
11:50 AM Prince Valiant, based on the comic strip and giving a lot of people like Robert Wagner and Janet Leigh horrendous hairdos; and
1:35 PM Man in the Attic, the umpteenth version of The Lodger which posits who Jack the Ripper might have been.
