THE THREE FACES OF EVE By David Bianculli

Joanne Woodward and Lee J. Cobb star in this 1957 movie, one of the first to dramatize a case of multiple personality disorder. Cobb plays the therapist who discovers that his patient, played by Woodward, appears to have three very distinct personalities. A generation later, in 1976, Woodward played the psychiatrist treating a female patient with an even larger and more disparate array of personalities. That was in the 1976 NBC miniseries Sybil, starring Sally Field as the patient.

WITH ‘DEAD RECKONING…,’ PBS SHINES A LIGHT ON ATTEMPTS TO PROSECUTE WAR CRIMINALS By David Hinckley

Back in the 1960s, the Firesign Theater comedy troupe did a short bit in which a German accused of Nazi war crimes is tracked down in Argentina and swears he knew nothing about anything. “During der war,” he says in an exaggerated German accent, “I was a gaucho on the Pampas.”...

BREAKING BAD MARATHON By David Bianculli

In anticipation of the coming Season 3 of Better Call Saul – my favorite current TV series – AMC is prepping viewers by presenting two Monday marathons of scene-setters.

Not every episode, or the most recent ones – but the ones that most prominently feature Bob Odenkirk as shady attorney Saul Goodman. And the day starts, most fittingly, wi

So the tension is high – but the strategies are highly focused, too, because the judges get the chance to “steal” the losing contestants and keep them in competition.
