SUMMER UNDER THE STARS: MARLON BRANDO
TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET
Today is all about Marlon Brando, with 11 of his films televised today and tonight. That generous bounty includes 1962’s Mutiny on the Bounty (2:30 p.m. ET), followed by the three films that made and cemented Brando’s legend as a groundbreaking, approach-changing movie star. At 5:45 p.m. ET, TCM shows 1951’s A Streetcar Named Desire, followed at 8 by 1954’s On the Waterfront, then at 10 by 1953’s The Wild Ones. Set your DVRs, too, for a late-night, early-morning treat from Brando’s later career: 1990’s The Freshman, a wild, dry comedy co-starring Matthew Broderick (pictured), showing at 4:15 a.m. ET.
