Hi, Mom! (Bravo Sunday at 10 p.m.): This early (1970), freewheeling (but actually very well-controlled) Brian De Palma satire, a sequel to his earlier “Greetings,” finds his resourceful hero (Robert DeNiro) returning from Vietnam to tilt at still more contemporary windmills--e.g., sexploitation movies, educational TV documentaries, audience participation theater and above all, the bizarre twists and turns of black-and-white relations. (1:30)

Trouble in Paradise (AMC Tuesday at 6 p.m., again at 10 p.m.): The Lubitsch touch personified: Elegant thieves Miriam Hopkins and Herbert Marshall attempt to fleece rich Kay Francis--but Marshall finds himself falling for Francis. (1:30)

Wild Boys of the Road (TNT Tuesday at 11:15 p.m.): This fast, breezy 1933 William Wellman film is one of the few that tackled the Depression head on rather than provide escape from it. Frankie Darro and Edwin Philips are teen-agers who hit the road and ride the rails around the country in search of work. With Dorothy Coonan, soon to marry her director and retire from the screen. (1:30)
