Film Laura
Talking Pictures TV, 6.15pm
Featuring the exquisite
Gene Tierney and a
cocky Vincent Price,
Otto Preminger’s US
breakthrough is an
immaculate film noir.
He cooks with familiar
ingredients in this tale
of the murder of
Tierney’s It girl, but
adds unexpected
seasoning. (U, 1944)
spoke of a change in
the country’s power
structure, one that
gave rise to tensions
so great they erupted
into conflict. The
period’s elegance and
brutality are illustrated
in this fascinating
film with deep dives
into Anthony van
Dyck’s portraiture
and Wenceslaus
Hollar’s horrific Tears
of Ireland.
Art That Made Us
BBC2, 9pm
You’ve probably never
fancied a staircase
before (or even thought
about one that much),
but be prepared to
swoon over one of such
bewitching pulchritude
it began the Wars of the
Three Kingdoms. Inigo
Jones’s magical Tulip
Stairs is one key work
of 17th-century art that
integrity. Some deals,
no matter how gilded
by bonhomie, are too
much to swallow. After
all her work to
resurrect the failing
A Little Death, Bobby
— and the weaselly
producer Cameron
(Steve Coogan) — learn
that the marketing
budget will be zero
dollars. What they need
to do is win over the
studio head.
“I can’t not cry when
I think about that,”
she says, emotionally.
Throughout this
film Bradbury shares
her raw response to
the reality of requiring
a single mastectomy
to save her life, news
that profoundly
shocks her and plays
on her mind as the
operation nears.
Her honesty is deeply
moving.
Chivalry
Channel 4, 10pm
To be caught in a
compromising position
in Hollywood doesn’t
automatically mean a
state of undress; as the
indie-darling director
Bobby (Sarah
Solemani) is quickly
learning, navigating the
production of a big
picture brings her into
conflict with her
