Here are some of the latest announced screenings:
*The marvelous Ann-Margret will introduce BYE BYE BIRDIE (1963) -- which I happened to see at the festival in 2017
*A 90th anniversary screening of KING KONG (1933)
*George Stevens Jr. will introduce the premiere of a restoration of PENNY SERENADE (1941), with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne directed by his father, George Stevens
*David Wyler will introduce Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole in HOW TO STEAL A MILLION (1966), directed by his father, William Wyler
*Craig Barron and Ben Burtt will give one of their wonderful special effects presentations for WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (1951); for those who might be wondering, it was screened at the fest in 2019, with Dennis Miller interviewing star Barbara Rush
*THAT TOUCH OF MINK (1962) starring Cary Grant and Doris Day
*I'm especially looking forward to a 35th anniversary screening of CROSSING DELANCEY (1988) with stars Amy Irving and Peter Riegert in attendance -- I've been planning to revisit that movie soon
*Leonard Maltin will introduce a new-to-me British film, MR. COHEN TAKES A WALK (1935)
*LARCENY, INC. (1942) starring Edward G. Robinson
*Shirley Temple in POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL (1936) (Update: POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL has been removed from the festival schedule.)
*MISTER ROBERTS (1955), which I know from experience is a marvelous film to see with an enthusiastic audience
*A midnight screening of Olivia Newton-John in XANADU (1980)
Combined with previously announced films, I've now got quite a list of titles I'm hoping to see at the festival, including RIO BRAVO (1959), SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (1954), SHADOW OF A DOUBT (1943), and several more. The hope, of course, is that there won't be too many scheduling conflicts forcing hard decisions!
The TCM Classic Film Festival will take place in Hollywood from April 13th to 16th, 2023.
