Two-time Tony Award winner, Nathan Lane, is TCM Guest Programmer on October 21st.
Lane's first film pick, Mel Brooks' The Producers (1967) is the first version of the 2001 Broadway musical that brought him one of his Tonys, and "arguably the funniest film ever made." His other choices are Alan J. Pakula's All the President's Men (1976), "an incredible examination of that kind of investigative journalism", Hal Ashby's Being There (1979) with its "monumental performance" by Peter Sellers, and Charlie Chaplin's City Lights (1931), the "masterpiece" by a filmmaker who could do it all.".
