Another unoccupied and beckoning Wednesday slot, another del/hog replacement stream.
Same deal as last week – Del will start things off at 5pm and hogTV will take over at 8pm.
Continuing a theme from last week’s stream, tonight I’ll be showing the Jacques Becker classic, Le Trou. Subjectively and objectively the best prison escape film ever made. If you haven’t seen it before you’re in for a treat.

The slender premise springs from the actions of two listless 11-year-old boys, the cold, manipulative Leo, and his weaker, more impressionable friend, Mike. Contemptuous of the fallible police force (Mike has already filched a police hat from an accident scene), the boys arrange a staged knife fight outside a football stadium with the aid of a bag of stage blood and a real blade.

9:00 – Le Trou (1960)
The film is based on a true event concerning five prison inmates in La Santé Prison in France in 1947. Director Becker, who died just weeks after shooting had wrapped, used mostly non-actors for the film’s main roles, including one man (Jean Keraudy) who was actually involved in the 1947 escape attempt, and who introduces the film. It was entered into the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.
