BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 
ROAD TO UTOPIA

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

This is the last Friday in November, and thus the final installment of TCM’s “Road Movies” Friday TV tour. And tonight, the network shows three of the very best road movies, all in a row. Start at 8 p.m. ET with 1945’s Road to Utopia, which sends Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour north to Alaska, and presents all the music, comedy, and fourth-wall-shattering nonsense that made these films so popular, and so quietly subversive. This showing also serves as a primer of sorts, with the release of a new Hope biography in bookstores, and a new Crosby biography on PBS next week.

 
  
 
 
KRISTEN CHENOWETH: COMING HOME

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

This musical special is the final edition of this year’s PBS Arts Fall Festival, and features series host Kristen Chenoweth in the spotlight, in her home town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, featuring local singers and musicians who back her as she runs through the songs on her latest album.
 
  
 
 
SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS

TCM, 9:45 p.m. ET

Another superb road movie presented tonight by TCM. This one, from 1942, is Preston Sturges’ marvelous examination of Hollywood, from the point of view of a director of light comedy films who yearns to do something darker – and embarks on a mission to travel with the “common people,” riding the rails and hitting the road to learn, and then reflect, the anxieties of the everyday man. Joel McCrae stars as the director, Veronica Lake co-stars as his eventual traveling companion, and the whole thing adds up to a wonderful Tinseltown satire, but with a lovely, heartfelt message about the value of simple laughter.

 
  
 
 
THE FOO FIGHTERS: SONIC HIGHWAYS

HBO, 11:00 p.m. ET

This edition of Dave Grohl’s transcontinental trip down musical memory lane takes him to home turf: Seattle, where he looks back on the birth and tragic end of Nirvana, and the emotional formation of the Foo Fighters, who, with Grohl, write a song about their return visit to the city, and the recording studio where the Foo Fighters were formed. But older parts of music history are covered as well, including visits with Nancy Wilson of Heart and Larry Parypa of the Sonics.

 
  
 
 
IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT

TCM, 11:30 p.m. ET

The first movie to sweep all the major Oscars, this 1934 Frank Capra stars Claudette Colbert as a runaway heiress, Clark Cable as the reporter on her trail (and in her bed, though with a divider in between them). All three won Oscars, along with screenwriter Robert Riskin and the film itself.

Depending on individual health needs and risk factors, additional screenings may be included in the health check-up. For instance, women may undergo pelvic exams, breast exams, and Pap smears to screen for gynecological issues and cancers. Men may receive prostate exams to assess prostate health and screen for prostate cancer. Other specialized tests, such as bone density scans or lung function tests, may also be recommended based on age, gender, and medical history.
