TCM Announces 2026 Festival Schedule
Today Turner Classic Movies announced the complete list of films and the schedule for the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival.
LETTY LYNTON has not been publicly screened in nearly a century, and hopes for Warner Bros. to clear the rights nearly 15 years ago came to naught.
Now the rights problems are behind us and the movie has been restored; it will be introduced by George Feltenstein of the Warner Archive Collection, along with star Joan Crawford's grandson Casey LaLonde.
I'll save other comments on the schedule for my next festival post. For now, a couple other brief notes:
First, if anyone missed it in last weekend's news roundup, Glenn Close will be honored with a handprint/footprint ceremony at the festival.
Second, if anyone would like to purchase merchandise ahead of the festival, it's currently available from Fandango.

This always sounds like so much fun!
Lettt Lynton is Woke enough to have been made last year, meaning that it is insane.
It really is fun, Constance!
Barry, I don't recall it quite that way, but I do recall the plot being pretty crazy, in a fun pre-Code way. I'm excited to actually be able to see the print instead of mostly listening to it (via the terrible "offmarket" print that's circulated for decades).
Best wishes,
Laura
They should use two TBA slots for Letty. I doubt one will be enough to cover all the people turned away from the main screening.
I actually wondered that myself - this is the first time I've expected a TBA title in advance, and will one be enough to cover everyone who wants t see LETTY LYNTON? We'll see...
Best wishes,
Laura
I feel envious that I can’t see On Moonlight Bay (my fave on the schedule) because I live out of state and I have no intention of traveling to LA
