Summary

Turner Classic Movies, a film haven since 1994, faces an unclear future now that Skydance's David Ellison is calling the shots after a Hollywood mega-merger, and fans are panicking, according to The Guardian. The article uses TCM's autumn 'Sweater Weather' series, where film historian Alicia Malone introduces a Tuesday double feature in October, as a case study. It highlights All That Heaven Allows (1955) and Leave Her to Heaven (1945) as examples of the midcentury melodramas the channel shows.
