Quick Preview of TCM in October
It's time for a look ahead to the October schedule on Turner Classic Movies!
The Sullavan tribute is especially interesting, with showings of THE SHOPWORN ANGEL (1938), a film she made with James Stewart which I haven't yet seen, and the TCM premiere of SO ENDS OUR NIGHT (1941), costarring Fredric March, Frances Dee, and Glenn Ford. (August 30th Update: It's now been announced that SO ENDS OUR NIGHT will have its first TCM showing as part of a tribute to Fredric March on September 30th.)
The birthday tribute to costume designer Head will feature a late-October showing of CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1945), for those who want to get in the holiday mood early this year!
I'll have much more on the October schedule posted here around October 1st. In the meantime, the Summer Under the Stars festival continues till the end of August, and Humphrey Bogart will be the Star of the Month for September.

I think you cannot fail to enjoy "THE SHOPWORN ANGEL", Laura. The film is a delight.
Laura, I always enjoy your "Quick Previews of Turner Classic Movies" monthly airings, as well as everything else you keep us posted on.
On another note, I know that you have read Farran Nehme's fine investigation of the John Wayne Sacheen Littlefeather controversary. I think Farran sets the record straight so very well and I hope everyone will read her outstanding researched and written article. https://selfstyledsiren.substack.com/p/john-wayne-and-the-six-security-men?utm_source=twitter&sd=pf
You mention September a couple of times-- I think you meant October...? Just letting you know. It's always fun to read your TCM schedule previews.
Jerry, thank you so much for that recommendation, and for reading! I'm looking forward to recording SHOPWORN ANGEL.
Walter, thank you for the kind feedback and your faithful readership! I did indeed enjoy Farran's article and plan to link to it in this weekend's roundup. It's exhaustively researched and engagingly written.
Lynn, *thank you* so much for pointing that out so I could fix it. It's funny, I had caught "September" in the wrong place just before publishing last night but was oblivious to the same problem occurring elsewhere! Tips like that are always appreciated. Thank you for reading!
Best wishes,
Laura
No one on this thread or any has gone to the source of the Sacheen Littlefeather story, so I will. The fault is Marlon Brando's, and his alone. An awful person, the exact opposite of John Wayne who was sweet and decent. He made a fol of everyone and for inexplicable reasons has gotten off, in life and death, lightly. Not with me. If anyone doubts his enormous character flaws, have a look at his children. Then at John Wayne's. Patrick and Ethan are still around and available for interviews.
I find your views of Brando and Wayne very interesting, Barry, and totally believable. I have been a Wayne fan all my life. Brando was very good in certain films but generally I have never cared for him, either personally or as an actor generally.
Barry and Jerry, thank you for adding to the conversation about John Wayne. I'll link here to my news roundup which shares Farran's link, or it can be accessed also via Walter's link above.

Barry, if all goes well Patrick Wayne will be at the Lone Pine Film Festival this October, and I'm really looking forward to that.
Best wishes,
Laura
