Hey Gang!
Recently, you may recall, I brought-up the film Slim, while discussing the similarly plotted Manpower.
And I've just learned that, thanks to the scintillating cogs-within-wheels of the Cosmic Spirograph, Slim is being run this month on TCM, @ the rather awkward time of 5:00 a.m. on Friday, 10/5.
So by all means, do mark your calendars for it, or even set your DVR/VCRs to record it, as it tends to be a rare treat.
(If you're a fumblin', grumblin' Luddite like moi, extort a younger/hipper relative to do it for you; sons-in-law are especially handy, as they're seldom relaxed enough in your presence to razz you about being technologically challenged!)
I'm betting you'll find that although Slim is a little dimmer in star-wattage than Manpower, and perhaps less rich in Noir hallmarks, it's a much livelier script, with some nicely inspired performances from Fonda & co., and some really impressive photography for its vintage.
If I'm wrong, I shall await your tomatoes!
Mark your calendars now!

Anyway, DVD recorder will record! Thanks for the heads up!
My wife said she'd help young people, ... That's what I'd do. Help young people, then buy a big motor home and get out of town.
