Famine, flooding, earthquakes and disease! A flaming comet will strike the Earth! The end is near ! Nostradamus looked into the future and foresaw apocalyptic visions of terror and destruction-and many of his 16th century revelations are scheduled to begin in July 1999. TCM prepares you for Judgment Day with two MGM short films, Nostradamus (1938) and More About Nostradamus (1941) featured in our June Festival of Shorts. List of films Today! on TCM Nostradamus: A Voice from the Past (1998) Nostradamus (1994) The Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1981) The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus. by Henry Roberts Conversations With Nostradamus: Vol.1 by D. Cannon The Final Prophecies of Nostradamus by Erika Cheetham Trained as a doctor, Michel de Notredame spent most of his life treating victims of the Black Plague. He predicted the bubonic outbreak before it struck and before long his reputation as an oracle spread throughout Europe. Nostradamus blended elements of Astrology, Alchemy and the Occult in obscure poems-more than 1,000 were gathered in a book called "The Centuries." These cryptic verses have mystified readers for five hundred years. Too many of his prophecies have already come true to completely ignore his warnings of a devastated future. Carey Wilson, an MGM producer, became interested in the writings of Nostradamus as World War II raged in Europe. The further Wilson delved into the prophecies, the more relevant they seemed to the modern world with their visions of catastrophe and cataclysm. Nostradamus' predictions still stimulate conspiracy buffs in their foreboding warnings and proven accuracy. This June, add a little more paranoia to your millenium fever with these two short films. 3 Thursday 7:30 PM   Festival Of Shorts #18 (1999) TCM offers two 10-minute shorts Nostradamas (1938), produced as an "MGM Historical Mystery" and More About Nostradamas (1940), part of the "MGM Miniature" series.
