Tonight’s prime-time TCM lineup salutes early film star Douglas Fairbanks, one of the cinema’s first action heroes. First up, at 8 p.m. ET, is his 1916 Western, The Good Bad Man, made the year after Fairbanks first stepped in front of a movie camera. The Good Bad Man is one of the few films that has been restored twice: once in 1923, in a recut version with additional titles and some deleted and altered scenes, and again in 2014, in a clean restoration of the 1923 version. Allan Dwan directs, and the director of photography is Victor Fleming, later the director of The Wizard of Oz.
