MOVIE CHOICE

RIVER OF NO RETURN (1954) PG ● 2PM, PARAMOUNT ★★★

Production of director Otto Preminger’s western was dogged by the troubles of its stars, a heavy-drinking Robert Mitchum and an insecure Marilyn Monroe. On the screen, the pairing works beautifully as together they face the wilds of the American northwest.

ONLY WHEN I LARF (1968) U ● 9.05PM, TALKING PICTURES TV ★★★

Not to be confused with the hospital-set sitcom with a different spelling, this comedy stars David Hemmings, Richard Attenborough and Alexandra Stewart as a trio of snappy confidence tricksters. It’s based on the book by spy novelist and food writer Len Deighton.

TRESPASS AGAINST US (2016) 15 u 11.15PM, FILM4 ★★★

Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbender go head to head as father and son Colby and Chad, who are having a violent disagreement over the future of Chad’s son, Tyson. Wanting out of their life of crime, Chad finds that his father won’t let him go without a fight.
