TCM Star of the Month: Ricardo Montalban

The September Star of the Month is Ricardo Montalban.

Over two dozen of Montalban's films will be shown on Monday evenings in September.

In fact, Montalban's first Star of the Month day, on September 7th, will feature a day-long marathon of his films, including a number of MGM musicals featuring Montalban's fine dancing skills.

It's a great September lineup featuring movies from a 35-year span of Montalban's long career, including not only musicals but crime films, Westerns, adventure films, sci-fi, and more.

The entire schedule is below.  Please click any hyperlinked title for a full-length review.
