Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia...

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (TNT Thursday at 7:45 p.m.), a rambling and lurid tale of an American adrift in Mexico, stars Warren Oates as clearly an alter ego for director Sam Peckinpah.

The Mystery of Picasso (Bravo Saturday at 2:30 p.m.), H.G. Clouzot’s beautiful 1956 documentary, strips away all obstructions to show us white sheets of paper being transformed into masterpieces.
