Barbara Rush and Richard Carlso in It Came from Outer Space (11:30 PM)
Actress Barbara Rush died at the end of March at the age of 97. Rush didn't hit the A list, but she made enough movies during the studio system that TCM was able to get the rights to run a handful of them, enough to eventually give her a night-long tribute. That tribute is tonight, and includes five of her movies:
8:00 PM Bigger than Life, in which Rush plays the wife of teacher James Mason, who gets addicted to... cortisone!?
9:45 PM World in My Corner, in which she plays an upper-class girl who falls in love with a boxer;
11:30 PM It Came from Outer Space, a scifi movie with professor Richard Carlson investigating an extraterrestrial phenomenon that falls to earth and could pose danger to mankind;
1:00 AM The Young Philadelphians, a Paul Newman vehicle with him as a lawyer from modest background who wants to marry his girlfriend (Rush) although his boss wants him to marry up and make partner; and
3:30 AM Robin and the 7 Hoods, a Rat Pack movie shifting the Robin Hood story to Chicago and putting Rush in the Maid Marian role.
