Quick Preview of TCM in November

It's time for a quick look ahead at the November schedule on Turner Classic Movies!

Gloria Grahame will be the November Star of the Month. Grahame's films will be shown on Tuesday evenings. 

There are still a number of unannounced Grahame titles, but the lineup will include the TCM premiere of NAKED ALIBI (1954), costarring Sterling Hayden.

The November Noir Alley schedule kicks off with the TCM premiere of a big favorite of mine, ABANDONED (1949), starring Dennis O'Keefe, Gale Storm, Raymond Burr, and Jeff Chandler.

ABANDONED will be followed by CRY TERROR! (1958) and STRANGE BARGAIN (1948). The Noir Alley film for Thanksgiving weekend has not yet been announced.

The November Spotlight on Fridays is titled "After Dark," with a number of the titles yet to be announced. The month's Special Theme is Bruce Lee.

As is often the case, Thanksgiving Day will feature family favorites including NATIONAL VELVET (1944), SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN (1963), and LITTLE WOMEN (1949).

There will be several memorial tributes in November, including Alan Arkin on the 6th, Jim Brown on the 10th, Harry Belafonte on the 19th, and William Friedkin on the 26th.

November programming themes will include hotels, small towns, 1933, weekends, military musicals, acting sisters, Paris, Tarzan, and ghosts.

Filmmakers honored with multifilm tributes include William A. Wellman, Ann Rutherford, Busby Berkeley, Anatole Litvak, June Allyson, Eleanor Powell, and Ralph Bellamy.

I'll have much more about the November schedule posted here around Halloween. In the meantime, TCM will be celebrating the centennial of actor Charlton Heston in October.
