I can reveal today that I’m one of 16 film reviewers joining Turner Classic Movies’ Robert Osborne as on-air guest programmers in October. I taped my segments for the “Critic’s Choice” series, which will air every Monday and Wednesday night that month, back in June. Though I programmed TCM’s “Shadows of Russia” series with the Self-Styled Siren back in January, I appeared on-air only fleetingly on “Now Playing The Show.”

The films I’ll be introducing with Mr. Osborne are William Dieterle’s “The Last Flight” (1931) with Richard Barthlemess, Helen Chandler and John Mack Brown in a story of American flyers in post-World War I Paris; and Vincent Sherman’s “All Throught the Night” (1942) starring Humphrey Bogart, Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre in a comic thriller that serves as an unofficial warm-up for “Casablanca.” They’ll be airing in prime time on the West Coast — 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. EST respectively on October 20.

My excellent lead-in that evening is the New York Times’ A.O. Scott, who will offer Budd Boetticher’s “Ride Lonesome” and Sam Fuller’s “Park Row” beginning at 8 p.m. EST. Other participants in the series include Leonard Maltin, David Edelstein, Richard Schickel, Richard Corliss, Kim Morgan and Susan Granger.

In the meantime, in case you missed it in yesterday’s print edition, here’s my latest interview with Mr. Osborne. In connection with the just-launched “Summer Under the Stars” he dishes about Hollywood scandals past and present — from Ingrid Bergman and Errol Flynn (who get day-long salutes on Friday and Saturday) to Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson.
