The Stranger’s Hand (KCET Wednesday at 1 p.m.) Engrossing 1954 adaptation of a Graham Greene suspense tale involving the disappearance of a British agent in Venice, Trevor Howard, Alida Valli and Richard Basehart star.

Atlantic City (HBO Friday at 3:15 a.m.) Directed by Louis Malle and written by John Guare, this 1980 film is an enchanting romantic fable and an affectionate satire of American pop culture, past and present.
