Happy July, everyone! It’s looking like it’s going to be a pretty quiet month on TCM, but there are still two very good reasons to watch this month: Ronald Colman as Star of the Month and the 50 Years of Hitchcock spotlight. I like Ronald Colman, so I’m looking forward to seeing his movies every Thursday night this month. The Hitchcock spotlight is a bit bigger and will be happening every Wednesday and Friday night. I know I can’t complain about knowing that I’ll have two nights each week where I’ll be coming home to lots of Hitchcock movies.
Without further ado, let’s get on to the rest of the schedule.
July 1: You’ll find quite a variety of good movies on throughout the day, including The Mummy at 6:30 AM, Requiem for a Heavyweight at 12:00 PM, Badlands at 6:00 PM, and The Lady Eve at 8:00 PM.
