TV HIGHLIGHTS

Movie: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, 6 PM on TCM:

Seven amorous young frontiersmen try to add feminine influences to their lives by wooing seven prospective brides in this rollicking 1954 musical that won an Oscar for best musical scoring and was nominated as best picture. Watch for the justly famous barn-raising scene, with gasp-inducing choreography by Michael Kidd. This Golden Age musical airs tonight as part of a memorial salute to leading lady Jane Powell, who died in September at age 92. Howard Keel, Russ Tamblyn, Julie Newmeyer (Newmar) and Jacques d’Amboise also star.

Movie: Those Who Wish Me Dead, 8 PM on HBO:

Taylor Sheridan (“Yellowstone”) directed and co-wrote this 2021 adaptation of a novel by Michael Koryta, a satisfyingly old-fashioned neo-Western thriller starring Angelina Jolie as a Montana smokejumper who helps a young boy (Finn Little) flee for his life after witnessing his mother’s murder. They’re hotly pursued by the killers (Nicholas Hoult, Aidan Gillen), who are determined to leave no witnesses alive. Jon Bernthal and Jake Weber also star.

The Dead Files, 10 PM on TRAV; 2 AM on TRAV:

This eerie series closes out its 13th season with a finale called “Abducted,” which sees medium Amy Allan and former homicide detective Steve DiSchiavi traveling to Coolidge, Ariz. They’re making the trek in response to a plea from a distressed mother, who reports that she and her daughters are under nearly constant uncanny attacks from an interdimensional being. They can’t afford to move to another home, so this beleaguered family needs answers before someone is seriously hurt.
