The Latest on TV: Fall Has Fell

Notable movies and other programs on TV for Monday September 24 to Sunday September 30:

The fall TV season is upon us, with the networks busy airing the premiere episodes of most of their new and returning series this week. Still, there are a few movies of interest to watch out for in the next seven days.

Turner Classic Movies concludes this month's look at the breakthrough roles of our favorite stars on Tuesday, with Michael Caine in Alfie, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou, Kirk Douglas in Champion and Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar.

On Monday, the channel will air the second part of its salute to the lost Warner Bros. First National Teddington Studios films, including three more American premieres.

Other films not yet on DVD for the week include Cary Grant in None But the Lonely Heart (TCM, Monday; featuring Ethel Barrymore's Oscar-winning supporting performance), Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland in The Male Animal (TCM, Wednesday), Alice Brady and Cesar Romero in Metropolitan (Fox Movie Channel, Wednesday), Tyrone Power and Joan Fontaine in This Above All (FMC, Friday) and Claude Raines in They Won't Forget (TCM, Saturday).

Bravo will rerun AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies 10th Anniversary Edition on both Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Over at LOGO: Gay pastors fight to keep their jobs in the documentary Call to Witness (Monday); looks like we're not the only ones who have a little something For the Love of Dolly (Monday and Sunday); and Thursday serves up Second Serve, the Renee Richards story starring Vanessa Redgrave, as well as the GLAAD Media Award-nominated The Opposite Sex: Rene's Story.

And finally: George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola are among the directors profiled in Fog City Mavericks: The Filmmakers of San Francisco on Starz Monday.
