TCM Star of the Month: George Brent

The 2026 31 Days of Oscar schedule on Turner Classic Movies has come to a close as of March 15th, and TCM resumes regular programming for the second half of March.

I'm very pleased that George Brent is the March Star of the Month!

Brent was previously honored as Star of the Month in May 1997. It's great that TCM is celebrating him again close to three decades on.

There may be only three Star of the Month nights in March, but the schedule is packed with 48 Brent films, beginning on Tuesday evening, March 17th.

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect day to begin the celebration of the Irish-born actor, whose birthday coincidentally is the same week, on March 15th. 

The entire Brent schedule is below. As a big Brent fan, I've reviewed 30 of the month's 48 titles; please click any hyperlinked title to check out a review.
