“The Last Refuge”
3:45 p.m., TCM
High Sierra. USA, 1941 (100 minutes). Director: Raoul Walsh. Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Ida Lupino, Alan Curtis.
“The Last Refuge” made Bogart a star of the first order thanks to his moving and fiery interpretation of Roy Earle, a bandit who, as the canons dictate, wants to retreat with one final blow. Behind the camera was the gigantic Raoul Walsh, who took advantage of an exemplary script by John Huston and WR Burnett to create an explosion of austere and precise cinema and a portrait of characters steeped in desolation and an approximation of the tormented and declassed people trying to escape their inevitably tragic fate.
Machismo in sports, in the “Weekly Report”
9:30 p.m., 1
The space presented by Ana Blanco analyzes current events through two reports. Equality is at stake, which shows how machismo remains present in Spanish sport.

At the same time, the imagination of JK Rowling gave rise to a prequel and spin-off of the adventures of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which provided a wonderful script to David Yates, the director of the young wizard’s last four films. The fabulous adventure does not shy away from forays into the darkest realism, bringing to life the universes imagined by Rowling thanks to astonishing special effects that do not overshadow the dramatic development of the story.
