TCM is airing the John Wayne movie
The Alamo tonight (Wednesday, October 25) at 8:00 PM ET. John's son Patrick, who many of you may remember (even if you'd rather forget it!) for hosting
Tic Tac Dough, has a role as Capt. Bonham.
Patrick Wayne isn't the only game show personality to make a movie appearance tonight. A very young Bart Braverman, who would go on to become an infrequent panellist on
Match Game 7x can be seen in
20 Million Miles to Earth, at 2:35 AM October 26 on Encore Action. (If memory serves, Bart's part is as the kid who finds the stuff from the spacecraft, but it's been quite a while since I've seen the movie.) The movie is pretty poor -- spacemen returning from Venus have brought back an alien that quickly grows into a Godzilla-like creature that destroys a good portion of southern Italy. But it's got Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion work, which is worth seeing even if you have to put up with the rest of the dreck.
