TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

This is a recommendation. Especially tonight. No matter what happens at ballot box tonight, it follows mathematically that about half of us will be disappointed by the results, and, perhaps, disappointed very early into the evening. Knowing that, one of every two of us may be in need of some sort of reality-avoiding escape – and TCM, in prime time, presents one of the best movies ever made. And one of the most unblinkingly cynical, too, with a message of continuing to fight despite long odds and personal disappointments: 1942’s Casablanca, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
