KET Presents pbs
Movie Classics features Hitchcock classic, Liz in her prime
KET Movie Classics this month presents a classic Alfred Hitchcock thriller as well as a high-gloss feature showcasing Liz Taylor in her prime. Each classic movie premieres Saturday nights at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET1 and encores the following Friday night at 9/8 p.m. CT on KET2.

Delbert Mann, who directed the Academy Award-winning Marty, coaxes fine performances from George C. Scott and Susanna York in the solid, high-profile adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte classic Jane Eyre . It airs October 6 and 12.

It's a testament to Alfred Hitchcock's nimble touch that at first glance, The Lady Vanishes appears to be a lightweight treat. Hitchcock effortlessly navigates this thriller from light comedy to high tension and back again, creating one of his most enchanting and entertaining mysteries. It airs October 13 and 19.

B ased on F. Scott Fitzgerald's Babylon Revisited , the epic romance The Last Time I Saw Paris blends Parisian expatriate high society and the struggles in post-World War II Europe. Elizabeth Taylor is glorious as the lovely young Helen, whose stunning costumes are shot beautifully, contributing to the glorious style of this epic. It airs Oct. 20 and 26.

In Love Affair , Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne meet on a cruise, fall in love and vow to meet in six months on top of the Empire State Building to see if their feelings have lasted. However, an accident prevents the reunion. A classic romance set-up if ever there was one (retold in An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle ), Love Affair won't leave a dry eye in the house. It airs October 27 and November 2.
