“Movie: Hitsville: The Making
of Motown”
This documentary from filmmakers
Gabe and Ben Turner chronicles the
blockbuster success and lasting cultural
impact of Motown Records. It starts
with the 1958 birth of Motown in
Detroit and continues through the
company’s relocation to Los Angeles in
the early 1970s, telling its story through
interviews with visionary founder Berry
Gordy and some of his superstar artists
and creative figures.
“The White Princess”
“City on a Hill”
Shortly after relocating to Boston from
Brooklyn, N.Y., Assistant District
Attorney Decourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge,
“Leverage”) forms a tenuous alliance
with renowned FBI veteran Jackie Rohr
(Kevin Bacon), who rarely hesitates to
bend the rules to get results in this crime
drama. Their shared mission: taking
down a family of armored car robbers.
Jill Hennessy co-stars in Season 1 of this
Showtime drama.
This sequel to the 2013 miniseries “The
White Queen” charts the 15th-century
union of Elizabeth of York (Jodie
Comer) and King Henry VII (Jacob
Collins-Levy), a marriage intended
to unite politically unstable England.
There’s little chance of that happening,
however: Elizabeth’s brother Prince
Richard (Patrick Gibson) plans to
reclaim his throne. Michelle Fairley and
Essie Davis also star in Season 1 of this
Starz drama.
BEST SHERLOCK HOLMES MOVIES
“The Hound of the Baskervilles”
(1939) Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce
began their multiple-movie run as Holmes
and Watson in this fine adaptation of one
of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous
mystery
novels,
“The Hound of the Baskervilles”
“The Hound of the Baskervilles”
(1959) A story this solid merits more
than one screen treatment, and Peter
Cushing and André Morell put their own
marks on the roles of Holmes and Watson
in this fine version that Turner Classic
“The Private Life of
Movies
shows Saturday, March 13.
Sherlock Holmes”
“The Private Life of Sherlock
Holmes” (1970) More dramatic
than comedic on balance, director Billy
Wilder’s portrait of the sleuth (played
by Robert Stephens) examines his “true”
nature, as discovered by Dr. Watson
“They Might Be Giants”
(Colin Blakely). This also is part of TCM’s
salute to Holmes and Watson on March
13.
“Young Sherlock Holmes” (1985)
This Barry Levinson-directed attraction is
just what the title suggests, an adventure
shared by the teenage Holmes and
Watson (played by Nicholas Rowe and
Alan Cox).
“Without a Clue” (1988) Giving the
Holmes legend an amusing, “Remington
Steele”-type twist, his comedy casts
Michael Caine as an actor enlisted to play
Holmes by Dr. Watson (Ben Kingsley) ...
the true brains of the detective duo, at
least as positioned here.
“Sherlock Holmes” (2009) Robert
Downey Jr. and Jude Law rebooted the
screen images of Holmes and Dr. Watson
in director Guy Ritchie’s take on the
characters, which now has a second
sequel in the works.
