ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Made in 1974, this intimate romantic comedy-drama isn’t the sort of movie you’d instantly associate with its director, Martin Scorsese, who made it between Mean Streets and Taxi Driver. Ellen Burstyn and Kris Kristofferson star – but yes, Harvey Keitel is in here, too, in a small supporting role. Amazingly, this movie inspired a 1976 TV spinoff, CBS’s Alice, starring Linda Lavin as Alice. The movie roles of waitress Flo and diner owner Mel, played by Diane Ladd and Vic Tayback, went in the TV series to Polly Holliday and… Vic Tayback.
