Quick Preview of TCM in July

Here's a brief look at the upcoming July schedule on Turner Classic Movies!

The July Star of the Month will be Eva Marie Saint, who celebrates her centennial birthday on Independence Day.

The July Noir Alley films are ARMORED CAR ROBBERY (1950), THE WOMAN ON PIER 13 (1950), RED LIGHT (1949), and THE HOUSEMAID (1960).

The TCM Spotlight theme is "Movie Duos." I'll have more information on that once the final schedule is announced. (Update: The formal name for this Spotlight series is "The Hays Gaze," comparing films released before and after Code enforcement.)

As usual, Independence Day will feature THE MUSIC MAN (1962) and YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942).

I especially love that one day on the schedule features "summer musicals," including SUMMER HOLIDAY (1948) and SUMMER STOCK (1950). Mickey Rooney and Gloria DeHaven are seen at the right in SUMMER HOLIDAY.

Additional July programming themes will include baseball, royalty, Pacific islands, Westerns, Scotland, hypnosis, surfing, the Olympics, and films from 1954.

July will feature a memorial tribute to Roger Corman. Additional filmmakers receiving multifilm tributes include William Wyler, Richard Egan, Ginger Rogers, Walter Brennan, Clint Eastwood, Karl Malden, Herbert Marshall, and Constance Ford.

I'll share more detailed information about the July schedule around July 1st.  In the meantime, there is one more evening of Sessue Hayakawa as the May Star of the Month, with "Fox Stars" coming in June.
