TT: Get with the program
Quoth Superfluities:I've written in the past about the American Film Theatre and its role in my life. The series has been cropping up lately all over the place–at Lincoln Center a year or two ago, through Kino Video's DVD release of the entire series–but now it's coming to a TV set near you as well.
Saturday night at 9:00 pm EST the cable network Trio will begin to run the AFT series in its entirety through the next few months, starting with Tony Richardson's 1973 film of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance. The film stars Katharine Hepburn, Paul Scofield, Joseph Cotten and Lee Remick.
From Chekhov through Genet, Ionesco and John Osbourne, the series provides a refresher course in a huge swathe of twentieth-century European and American theater. Now look, people: I've urged the series on you for weeks now, and here's the opportunity to watch it for free on your TV set. It doesn't get any easier than this. That's the American Film Theatre on Trio starting Saturday night at 9:00 pm. What more can I possibly say?
I couldn't have put it better.
