Set the TiVo!

My buddy Vince Waldron notes that on Monday, June 6, Turner Classic Movies is running North to Alaska, Operation Madball, Five Golden Hours, It Happened to Jane and Bell, Book and Candle. Those are about half of the movies in which the legendary Ernie Kovacs ever appeared. And while he's not legendary for his films so much as for his TV work, it's still great to see him in these. Of them, he only really stars in Five Golden Hours — not a great film — but the rest have him in large supporting roles, often backstopping Jack Lemmon. It Happened to Jane is a pretty good, underrated film though not so much because of Ernie. Check out some or all of these.
