Today's TNT Double Feature starts with 1961's Goodbye Again, starring Ingrid Bergman as the mistress of a wealthy man who enters into a relationship with a younger man, against the advice of those around her.
I haven't had the pleasure of seeing too many of Ingrid Bergman's movies, and this one is much different from the couple of movies I have seen of hers, so I'd like to give it a look. Wiki describes it as a "romantic drama," and after March's TNT, I think we could use a little romance...even if it does come in the way of a triangle. LOL Here's the trailer:
The actual primetime flick takes us back to 1945's The Corn is Green, where Bette Davis stars as a schoolteacher with a vow to educate a resistant Welch town, then meets a young boy with a lot of potential to better himself.
I love movies that have an inspirational feel to them and the various forms of opposition that the protagonist of the film inevitably has to conquer. I enjoy happily ever after movies, and even though I haven't seen really any of Bette Davis' earlier movies, I loved her in Death on the Nile, (which, if you didn't know was a 1978 film adaptation of an Agatha Christie book by the same name) and she was almost 30 years older then than she was in this film here. I'd like to see more of her work. Here's the trailer:
The Corn is Green will be on at our regular TNT timeslot of 8pm EST on TCM.
