A Budd Boetticher-Randolph Scott Western marathon begins Sunday on TNT: Ride Lonesome (at 5 p.m.), The Tall T (at 6:30 p.m.), Decision at Sundown (at 8:15 p.m.), Buchanan Rides Alone (at 10 p.m.), Comanche Station (at 11:45 p.m.) and Westbound (Monday at 1:15 a.m.).

Early Frank Capra on Cinemax: The Miracle Woman (Monday at 6 a.m.) and American Madness (Friday at noon). The first (1931), a fascinating take on evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (played by Barbara Stanwyck), is a better picture than Capra himself remembered it to be; the second (1932), which is outstanding, finds Walter Huston as a high-principled banker trying to stave off ruin in the depths of the Depression.

The JFK Assassination: The Jim Garrison Tapes (Cinemax Thursday at 10:30 a.m.) John Barbour’s new documentary provides a lucid, excitingly organized and often devastating compendium of many of the arguments that have emerged against the Warren Report: most specifically, the late Jim Garrison’s controversial contention that Kennedy was assassinated by a faction within the CIA.

Europa 51 (Bravo Friday at midnight): One of the once-maligned, now-admired collaborations (1952) between director Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman, who plays an American woman living in Rome trying to rebuild her life in the wake of her son’s suicide.
