Thirteen Announces Upcoming Classic Film Line-Up

From adultery on a dart team to Chicago White Sox players on trial for throwing the World Series, the July offerings on "Reel 13" - including "Heartlands," "The Hustler," "Eight Men Out" and "Rocky II" -- show that, whatever the game, good sportsmanship doesn't always prevail.

WNET is the parent company of THIRTEEN and WLIW21, New York's public television stations. For 50 years, WNET has been producing and broadcasting national and local documentary and other programs to the New York community.

Every Saturday night beginning at 9 p.m., viewers can catch a Classic hosted by film historian Neal Gabler, followed by an Indie, hosted by Richard Peña.

The evening concludes with a Short selected by visitors to Reel13.org who vote for their favorite of three shorts every week.
