Quick Preview of TCM in March

Here's a quick preview of TCM's schedule for late March!

The first half of March, through the 15th, is part of the 31 Days of Oscar schedule. I shared highlights from that schedule here.

TCM's regular programming franchises and the Star of the Month feature return on March 16th, running through the end of the month on March 31st.

The March Star of the Month will be George Brent, beginning on St. Patrick's Day -- an appropriate date to celebrate the Irish-born actor!  

Over 40 of Brent's films will be shown on the 17th, 24th, and 31st, carrying over into the next day.

I've seen the vast majority of the movies on the Brent schedule, which includes many pre-Codes, and it will be a great couple of weeks! Brent is vastly underrated by some, in my opinion; his films are consistently entertaining, and he's a key reason for that.

The Noir Alley films for late March will be WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR? (1965) and CAGED (1950).

Filmmakers receiving multifilm tributes in late March will include Ray Enright, Jerry Lewis, Betty Compson, Carole Lombard, Gordon MacRae, Alfred Hitchcock, Claudia Cardinale, W.C. Fields, and Joan Blondell.

St. Patrick's Day will be celebrated with a seven-film Irish-themed linedup. Movies recently added to the National Film Registry will be celebrated on March 19th.

Additional March programming themes will include Depression-era Broadway stars, teens, foreign romances, and small towns.

I'll have a more detailed look at the late March schedule posted here in mid March.
