Mad Love (Showtime, Wednesday at 10 a.m.)....
Mad Love (Showtime, Wednesday at 10 a.m.). The great pioneer cameraman Karl Freund turned director in this 1935 version of “The Hands of Orlac.” Peter Lorre stars. (1:10)
The Shooting (TBS, Wednesday at 7:45 p.m.). Monte Hellman’s 1967 existentialist Western, starring Jack Nicholson and written by Adrien Joyce (“Five Easy Pieces”), features Millie Perkins as an imperious woman demanding Warren Oates escort her across a vast desert for a price; Nicholson is a mysterious man in black leather on their trail. The film can be taken as an allegory or a suspense drama-or both. (1:45)
The Hollywood Revue of 1929 (TNT, Wednesday at midnight). MGM’s all-star revue was designed to show its contract players not only could talk but, in some instances, could also sing! A genuine collector’s item. (2:40)
Hell’s Angels on Wheels (KABC, Saturday at 3:30 a.m.). Richard Rush’s definitive 1967 biker picture, which though ironic in tone, is also disturbingly seductive. Jack Nicholson and Sabrina Scharf star as a young couple who become involved with the Hell’s Angels to their eventual regret. (1:52)
