Quick Preview of TCM in September

It's time for a brief look ahead at what's in store this September on Turner Classic Movies!

TCM will be honoring Lauren Bacall as the September Star of the Month. Her films will be shown on Monday evenings, including on the September 16th centennial of the actress's birth.

The September Noir Alley films are OUT OF THE PAST (1947), A LADY WITHOUT PASSPORT (1950), SPLIT SECOND (1953), and HIGH WALL (1947).

The TCM Spotlight on Wednesdays will focus on studio directors, while a "Special Theme" on Fridays will be political films.  (Update: Here's more on the political film series from The Hollywood Reporter.  The two-month series will continue in October.)

September programming themes include trains, James Stewart Westerns, Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals, animals, family secrets, prisons, and Mexico. National Silent Movie Day will be celebrated on the evening of September 29th.

September will feature memorial tributes to Barbara Rush and Donald Sutherland. Additional filmmakers receiving multifilm tributes in September include Alan Ladd, Virginia Mayo, Robert Wise, Val Lewton, Joseph Calleia, Brian Donlevy, Helen Morgan, Mickey Rooney, and Deborah Kerr.

I'll have more information about the September schedule posted here around September 1st. In the meantime, the annual Summer Under the Stars festival is now underway!
