What's on TV? Thursday, June 25, 1964

It's always nice to be back in New York. This is a little earlier edition than we've looked at in the past, so we have fewer channels in the lineup. It's an entertaining day—but then, I've been known to find strange things entertaining. Let's see what we can find.

That movie on the Late, Late Show, Interns Can't Take Money, sounds as if it should be one of those madcap pictures from the '30s, doesn't it? Guess again: the cast includes Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, and Lloyd Nolan, and McCrea plays the young intern, fella name of Dr. James Kildare. It's the only time playing the role for McCrea, but don't worry—as a matter of fact, we'll meet two of his successors tonight.

That 1:00 p.m. movie, The Hasty Heart, part 4? It concludes tomorrow,  Interesting idea, splitting the movie up into five half-hour segments. It's an hour and 42 minutes, or 102 minutes which means 48 minutes of commercials, or nearly ten minutes out of each half-hour. Hard to get any kind of momentum going, I'd think.

Crime and Punishment—not the Dostoevsky story, but a program hosted by war correspondent and reporter Clete Roberts, looking for insight into the psychology of crime. Tonight, he talks with "a prisoner who is a sexual deviate, and is serving time for auto theft. Must have been some type of autoeroticism.
