TCM honors Sydney Pollack on Monday, June 2
May 28th, 2008 by David Lee Simmons in FilmIn memory of the late Sydney Pollack, who died earlier this week, Turner Classic Movies will show four of his films on the evening of Monday, June 2. The films are: The Slender Thread (1965), starring Sidney Poitier and Anne Bancroft (8 p.m.); Three Days of the Condor (1975), starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway (10 p.m.); Tootsie (1982), starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange (midnight); and Jeremiah Johnson (1972), starring Robert Redford and Will Geer (2 a.m.).
The network also announced that its new original program, “Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence,” which begins airing July 7, will include in its premiere episode an interview with Pollack.
It’s great to see these four films again, although I’d quibble with a repeat showing of Three Days of the Condor after TCM already broadcast the spy thriller last night. (Must be a TCM vault/archive issue.) Still, another chance to remember a Hollywood pro.
