John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day...

John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums (A&E; Sunday at 8 a.m., Monday at 1 a.m.) and Four Days in November (TNT Monday at 6:30 p.m.), two outstanding documentaries (the first made in 1968, the second in 1964), are being aired to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Baby, It’s You (Cinemax Wednesday at 5:10 a.m.), written and directed by John Sayles, captures the first pitch of an “unsuitable” first love between opposites. Set in Trenton, N.J., in 1966, Sayles explores questions of class and unequal opportunity with humor and tender insight as Rosanna Arquette and Vincent Spano fall in love.

Doctor X (TNT Saturday at 1:30 a.m.), one of the last of the two-strip Technicolor movies, is a durably entertaining 1932 Michael Curtiz horror picture. It stars Lionel Atwill as a mad scientist; hokey rather than spooky--but great-looking.
