Jet Pilot (Channel 13 Tuesday at noon): The legendary, long unreleased Howard Hughes-Josef von Sternberg film maudit , a kind of Hell’s Angels updated to the Cold War, with John Wayne and Janet Leigh. (2:00)

Show People (Z Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.): King Vidor’s wonderful 1928 silent, offering a behind-the-scenes look at MGM at the height of its glory and allowing Marion Davies a rare opportunity to display her considerable comic gifts; William Randolph Hearst preferred to restrict her to tony costume pictures.
