Let It Ride (HBO today at 3 p.m., Wednesday at 1 p.m., Saturday at 6:30 p.m.) This Runyonesque 1989 racetrack comedy was dumped by Paramount despite its nonstop hilarity and a terrific performance by Richard Dreyfuss as a Miamian who just can’t stay away from the horses.

Soldier of Orange (KTTV Monday at 2 a.m.) Paul Verhoeven’s splendid, large-scale 1979 Dutch saga about a group of privileged, carefree young men losing their innocence in World War II stars Rutger Hauer and Jeroen Krabbe, both of whom went on to international careers, as did Verhoeven.

Au Revoir les Enfants (KCET Saturday at 9 p.m.) Louis Malle’s superb, semi-autobiographical 1987 film is a tale of innocence and betrayal set in a French provincial Catholic boarding school during the Nazi Occupation. Malle’s grand, understated strategy reveals anti-Semitism deeply embedded in France’s social fabric.
