The Thief of Bagdad (AMC early Monday at 4 a.m.) This 1924 movie gives you the quintessence of Douglas Fairbanks Sr. It’s a roaring Arabian Nights fantasy, with sets by William Cameron Menzies and direction by Raoul Walsh.
Go, Johnny Go! (AMC Tuesday at 11 a.m.) One from the time capsule: Super deejay Alan Freed converts a misfit orphan boy (Jimmy Clanton) into teen idol “Johnny Melody.” The 1958 movie redeems itself somewhat by including performances by ‘50s rockers Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens, Jackie Wilson and Eddie Cochran.
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (AMC Thursday at 3 a.m.) Harry Langdon’s first comedy feature (1926) established his bizarre, whimsical, childlike persona completely. He’s a moon-faced young man, who, infatuated with Joan Crawford as the Burton Shoe poster girl, competes in Burton Shoes’ grand cross-country walking race, precipitating one crazy scrape after another.
