A Day With Jerry Lewis (KTLA Sunday). Dino left him, but French film critics still love him. KTLA’s mini-tribute includes three of Jerry’s self-directed movies--1961’s “The Errand Boy” (10 a.m.), 1960’s “The Bellboy” (3 p.m.) and one by alter ego Frank Tashlin: “Cinderfella” (6 p.m.).
Three by Jacques Tati (Bravo), France’s great heir to the silent comedy traditions of Keaton and Chaplin. Tati, a tall, absent-minded, rain-coated chap in an odd, mechanical world, shines in his first film made in 1949, “Jour de Fete” (Monday, 8:30 p.m., Tuesday at 1:30 a.m.); his biggest hit, “M. Hulot’s Holiday” (Monday at 1:30 a.m.), and his little-seen 1974 valedictory, “Parade” (Thursday, 6 p.m., Friday at midnight).
Otto Preminger in 1965. A very good year for the acerbic, Austrian-born Hollywood filmmaker--in retrospect, if not at the time. He directed Laurence Olivier, Carol Lynley and Noel Coward in the moody, London-set psycho-thriller “Bunny Lake Is Missing” (Cinemax, Tuesday, 9:30 a.m.) and John Wayne and an all-star cast in the superb World War II epic “In Harm’s Way” (TNT Saturday, 10:20 p.m.).
