TCM has been honoring director Frank Capra on Monday nights this month, and tonight is the final night of that tribute. There are repeats in more ways than one: Capra remade some of his movies over the course of his fairly long career, and TCM is playing the originals followed by the repeats. I've already recommended Lady For a Day in the past, and even then I pointed out that Capra later remade it as Pocketful of Miracles. The two movies are airing back to back, at midnight ET and 1:45 AM respectively.
Before that, however, TCM is showing a pair of movies I haven't seen about heiresses and horse racing: Broadway Bill at 8:00 PM, with Myrna Loy falling in love with Warner Baxter over a horse; followed by the remake Riding High, with Bing Crosby as the male lead.
