SUMMER UNDER THE STARS: BURT LANCASTER
TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET
Today’s subject on TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars” is Burt Lancaster, which makes today’s 24-hour film marathon especially rich. Pay special attention to 1964’s Seven Days in May at 3:15 p.m. ET, 1960’s Elmer Gantry at 8 p.m. ET, and 1962’s The Birdman of Alcatraz at 10:45 p.m. ET. And a few wonderful movies show up late, so set your recorders. There’s 1953’s From Here to Eternity at 1:30 a.m. ET, followed at 3:45 a.m. ET by 1980’s Atlantic City (pictured), in which he co-stars opposite the luminous Susan Sarandon, who in this film does more to popularize and immortalize citrus than Anita Bryant ever did.
