1. What a bizarre daytime lineup!

It's all 1950s and 1960s religious films, with Night and the City (1950) stuffed in the middle -- a Richard Widmark film noir.

3. Isn't that the encore of the previous nights' "Noir Alley?

[Staph]

4. I would agree that it's just a continuation of Noir Alley, except

the schedule goes from
12:30 AM Night and the City (1950)
2:30 AM Black Narcissus (1947)
4:30 AM The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima (1952)
6:30 AM The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)
10:00 AM Night and the City (1950) (again!)
12:00 PM The Silver Chalice (1954)

It's a bizarre choice to plug a repeat of Night and the City in the middle of that lineup. They should have plugged in The Ten Commandments or one of the multitude of remakes of Ben-Hur!

2. What? No "The Ten Commandments"? No "Ben-Hur"?
