Three on a Match is going to air on Turner Classic Movies on Thursday, August 30th at 10:00am PST.

I have extolled the virtues of Three on a Match (or it’s glorious lack of virtue) on numerous occasions on this site. It’s the film where I first encountered Ann Dvorak back in 1995, which got this wild ride of mine rolling. It’s got sex, drugs, kidnapping, reform school, and magnified nose-hair plucking. It’s got Joan Blondell, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Warren William, Lyle Talbot, and on and on. It packs all this into 63 minutes.

Three on a Match is airing as part of TCM’s Summer Under the Stars tribute to Warren William. I also recommend catching Skyscraper Souls which is airing right before Three on a Match at 8:15am. It’s another solid pre-Code and watched back-to-back with this one, shows how versatile Warren William could be.

Happy watching!

G Men is going to air on Turner Classic Movies on Tuesday, August 14, at 7:30am PST.

My apologies for the late notice on this one, though in my defense, I am feverishly working on the Ann-D bio to meet my October 1st deadline. G Men is being shown as part of James Cagney’s “Summer Under the Stars” day. Ann’s role in this one is small, but potent, and she and Cagney are great together. It’s a pity they only appear in this and The Crowd Roars together. Enjoy!
