The Goddess (Cinemax Monday at 11:30 a.m.)...

The Goddess (Cinemax Monday at 11:30 a.m.) Paddy Chayefsky’s trenchant, absorbing 1958 account of Hollywod stardom, beautifully directed by veteran John Cromwell. Kim Stanley plays a fictionalized version of the late Marilyn Monroe with range and depth and a kind of terrifying isolation.

The Phenix City Story (Cinemax Tuesday at 7 a.m.) Phil Karlson’s lively 1955 expose of an actual Southern town, steeped in vice, cleaned up by returning local attorney Richard Kiley.

My Twentieth Century (Bravo Wednesday at 8 p.m. and Thursday at 9 a.m.) Hungarian filmmaker Ildiko Enyedi’s dazzling 1989 debut feature, a lacy valentine of a movie with the ravishing, effervescent Dorotha Segda in the dual roles of very different identical twins, separated in childhood.
