TCM Star of the Month: Jean Arthur

Happy New Year!

Turner Classic Movies will be kicking off New Year's Day by spending the evening celebrating the January Star of the Month, Jean Arthur.

Arthur was previously the Star of the Month in January 1997 and January 2007.  Arthur is a favorite of many of us, and she's certainly a great actress to help break up the winter doldrums!

22 of Arthur's films will be shown spread across Thursday evenings in January.

Below is the complete Star of the Month schedule.  Please click on any hyperlinked title to read a complete review.
