Not to be greedy, but With Orson Welles: Stories from a Life in Film would have been a nice addition to the lineup. Perhaps, it will show up on TCM's sister station, Turner Network Television, which aired the BBC production 15 years ago.

15 years ago? or 25? Did it air after the 1990 showing?

[Wellesnet]

The BBC doc probably aired on TNT later as well, but of course the 1990 showing is the one that got the advertisement attention:

May 15 – Chimes at Midnight, Othello and Macbeth (Note: TCM has provided the description for the Laurence Olivier version of Othello, which is obviously an error).

It would probably fit nicely into that "Olivier Othello" timeslot.

I'm pretty sure the 1990 TNT airings were the only ones. Thus, you should fix the "15 years ago" in the News item. It should say "25 years ago."

Consider it fixed. Sloppy mental math at 6 in the morning. Thanks.

Saw the first five minutes of Chimes on TCM and compared it to my Mr. Bongo dvd release. The TCM version opens with the Janus logo so it looks like Criterion will release it soon and the print looks brighter and sharper then the Bongo version with a better sound to it. Did notice that the TCM version has more print damage but still a better looking image then the Bongo release.
