Eva Marie Saint, who died last week at the age of 102 and paired on screen with the likes of Marlon Brando, Cary Grant and Montgomery Clift, will be honored with a 12-hour Turner Classic Movies tribute on Oct. 25.
The marathon will include five of her films as well as an interview she did during the TCM Film Festival in Hollywood in 2014. The lineup begins at noon with the 1957 Civil War-set drama "Raintree County" co-starring Elizabeth Taylor and Clift. At 3 p.m., TCM will show "All Fall Down," a 1962 drama which finds Saint as an older woman involved in an affair with an amoral womanizer (Warren Beatty). At 5 p.m., Saint co-stars with James Garner in the 1964 drama "36 Hours," set during World War II and dealing with the kidnapping of an American intelligence officer who has been duped by the Germans into believing World War II is over so they can extract D-Day invasion plans.
At 7 p.m. will be Saint's interview with the late TCM host Robert Osborne, followed by what are arguably Saint's two most memorable films: the 1954 drama "On the Waterfront," for which Saint won a supporting actress Oscar as a shy convent-educated woman who becomes Brando's love interest; and the 1959 Alfred Hitchcock thriller "North by Northwest," in which she showed her sexier side as a woman of mystery who becomes involved with Grant as a man marked for murder.
