Chattanooga Times Free Press

Cult choice

When a reporter (director Jose Ferrer) assembles a memorial broadcast for a network star killed in an automobile accident, he uncovers the bullying nature of the deceased in the 1956 noir drama “The Great

Man” (8 p.m., TCM). Loosely based on the reputation of radio personality Arthur Godfrey, a folksy host infamous for mercurial moods and firing staff. Released a year before “The Sweet Smell of Success,” a thinly veiled profile of powerful media figure Walter Winchell.
