Quick Preview of TCM in November

It's time for a quick peek ahead at what's in store on Turner Classic Movies this November!

I'm quite excited about the November Star of the Month, Ruth Roman.

Roughly 20 of Roman's films will be shown on Tuesday evenings, including the TCM premiere of BELLE STARR'S DAUGHTER (1948).

Some of the great Roman films on hand next month will include THE WINDOW (1948), STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951), and TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY (1951).

The TCM Spotlight on Wednesdays will feature suspense films, and a Special Theme on the first three Thursday evenings of the month will be the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.

The Powell-Pressburger series will include the TCM premiere of the new documentary MADE IN ENGLAND: THE FILMS OF POWELL AND PRESSBURGER (2024).

Noir Alley films this November will be NOBODY LIVES FOREVER (1946), LE DEUXIEME SOUFFLE (1966), THE BIG COMBO (1955), TRAPPED (1949), and NAKED ALIBI (1954).

Veterans Day will be marked with a series of military-themed films on November 11th. Thanksgiving Day will be spent with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers during the daytime hours, followed by several family films in prime time. The family film lineup includes the always-welcome 20th Century-Fox film CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN (1950).

Additional programming themes include films based on W. Somerset Maugham and Damon Runyon stories, along with winter, tropical locations, romances, Soviet Communists, San Francisco, and scientists/inventors. There will also be a day of nine MAISIE films starring Ann Sothern.

TCM will feature a memorial tribute to Gena Rowlands on November 4th. Additional filmmakers honored with multifilm tributes will include Gig Young, Esther Williams, Greta Garbo, Hedy Lamarr, Fred M. Wilcox, Dick Powell, and the team of Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo.

There are still a number of blank spots on the schedule, so stay tuned for much more on the complete November schedule here at the end of this month.

In the meantime, Bela Lugosi continues as the October Star of the Month.
