Primetime July 10 Guest Programmer: Shari Belafonte. They go whole months without guest programmers, and now they have two in three days. Weird. But no doubt they want to do a Harry Belafonte tribute and she selects one of his films, perhaps partly at their suggestion. There's a short silent from 1903 on here, but I'll list all the features she picked. Carefree (Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers) (RKO, 1938) Harvey (James Stewart, Peggy Dow) (Universal, 1950) Odds Against Tomorrow (Harry Belafonte) (United Artists, 1959) Flower Drum Song (Nancy Kwan, James Shigeta) (Universal, 1961) La Cage aux Folles (Ugo Tognazzi, Michel Serrault) (Dist. in the US by United Artists, 1979) |

I've seen Point Blank multiple times, but I don't recall the Dickinson nudity. Films I'm famiiliar with, I often wander into the kitchen or over to my laptop and leave the sound going. I must have missed it. Reason to keep my eyes peeled next time!

TCM has shown Wild River before, and while I didn't watch the whole thing (I think I decided I had to go to bed), I was drawn into the movie for the hour or so I did watch. I would like to check it out and see how it ends.

I wonder if Shari Belafonte selected films like Flower Drum Song. I saw this the other day and just laughed about how culturally insensitive it was. Now I don't get offended by such films (my mom is Japanese). I just chalk it up to the times. But the overall POV in the film that all those Asians in San Fran are just culturally the same just makes me shake my head. As it relates to Belafonte: I would expect someone from her background to understand this. |

Flower Drum Song is an odd choice, one you might not expect the daughter of a man who promoted racial harmony and equality of opportunity to make. Seems like it didn't air on TCM for many years, but it's popped up on occaion recently. The There might be some connection between the Belafonte family and the film of which I'm not aware.
