I Want To Live!
Day: Thursday March 13 2003
Time: 10 a. m. Eastern
Channel: Turner Classic Movies
Your only chance this year to get it for free-or, at least only for the cost of your cable subscription.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea-it isn't great bondage, and culminates in the most unhappy ending possible. Still, I think it's worth grabbing for its historical significance (only Hayward and Angelina Jolie have won Oscars for roles in which they were bound) and despite its overly sympathetic treatment of Barbara Graham and her case-a conviction for felony murder only required her to have been in on the robbery, and there was more evidence against her than the film implies-it's not a half-bad movie.

Record number: 842

Title: I Want to Live! (1958)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Susan Hayward

Description: About an hour and twenty minutes into her Oscar-winning portrayal of real-life murder convict Barbara Graham, Hayward, in dark glasses, dress, and high heels, is led to her San Quentin death-row cell with her hands cuffed in front, secured to a ring attached to a strap around her waist. At the film's climax half an hour later, wearing the same outfit but now not handcuffed, she's led blindfolded to the gas chamber and strapped in. After the pellets drop, there are several shots of her writhing and struggling before she loses consciousness.

MACGYVER
Day: Thursday March 13 2003
Time: 1PM PT
Channel: TVLAND

Record number: 2231

Title: MacGyver
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Kim Zimmer

Description: Episode: "Deadly Dreams" (4.7)

MacGyver gets involved with the search for an escaped serial killer who is actually a pawn for a imprisoned psychopath, Dr. Zito. The evil doctor is intent on revenge against a policewoman, Lt. Murphy (Zimmer), who put him behind bars. Dr. Zito has convinced the naive escapee that if he kills a Viking queen, he can go to Valhalla. He is convinced that Murphy is that queen, so he kidnaps her, binds her wrists behind her back/around an I-beam and then cleave gags her with black cloth. A rope around her thighs further secures her to the beam. To create the proper Viking atmosphere the escapee rigs an elaborate time bomb to blow them both up in a gasoline-fed funeral pyre. Sounds like a job for MacGyver!
Extended set of scenes starting about halfway through the episode. Zimmer does a nice job alternating between defiance and fear.
