Miller tells Osborne, "[Cary Grant] has such drama in this - he'll
break your heart," in his introduction of Mr. Lucky (1943). He
picks Ride the High Country (1962), a Western about the friendship
between two aging cowboys, because despite its director's
reputation for violence, "No one understands love better than Sam
Peckinpah." Miller goes on to say, "If you haven't seen Errol
Flynn's The Adventures of Robin Hood, you have no business saying
you love movies." And he says he chose The Big Sleep because he
admires the sexy camaraderie of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
Miller will join a list of past guest programmers that includes,
among others, Mia Farrow, fashion designer Tom Ford, Bill Cosby,
Burt Reynolds, Hugh Hefner; fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, Mario
Cantone, writer David Mamet, Chevy Chase, Lorraine Bracco and Tom
Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants). Other personalities
scheduled for upcoming installments of GUEST PROGRAMMER include
Danny DeVito, Whoopi Goldberg, Martha Stewart, Cybill Shephard and
Donald Trump. Turner Classic Movies, currently seen in more than 75
