The starting time is 8:15 A.M. You can also see it on May 16, 2009 at 7 P.M. and May 31, 2009 at 9 A.M. This is a great movie made in 1941 and has a great cast in Edward Arnold as Mr. Webster and Jane Darnell (winner of oscar as Henry Fonda's mother in The Grapes of Wrath) as Ma Stone. But Walter Huston (who was also great as Howard in the Humphrey Bogart movie The Treasure of Sierra Madre) steals the show as Mr. Scratch (the Devil). Walter was rewarded with an oscar nomination for best actor and even though this movie is great his performance would be worth it alone to watch this great movie. And his final parting shot is magnificient. Enjoy!

The movie is about 2 hours long. In July it conflicts with the Tour de France which I overlooked but they are also showing it on TCM on August 1 and starts at 8:30 P.M.
