ALAN ARKIN FILM FESTIVAL
TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET
Today is Alan Arkin day on TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars,” and one of the best things shown – twice, in fact – is the network’s home-grown interview special with host Robert Osborne, Alan Arkin: Live from the TCM Classic Film Festival, produced and televised earlier this year. You can see it at 8 a.m. ET, and again at 7 p.m. ET. And of the many Arkin films shown today, one of my very favorites, at 12:15 a.m. ET, is 1979’s The In-Laws, in which Arkin is teamed with fellow stellar character actor Peter Falk. And Arkin tells a great story about Falk, and that film, in the TCM interview special, so watch that first.
