TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
And here, on TCM at the same time, is one of the absolute classic films of all time, rightly paraded and saluted on the network as one of “The Essentials.” With Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman embroiled in a love story set against the stifling rise of the Nazis, this WWII drama is pitch-perfect. It’s also an amazing war movie, in that it was filmed and presented in 1942, in the early years of the very war it was depicting.
