This being the first full week of July, we get a new Star of the Month on TCM, that being Gregory Peck. His movies are going to be airing every Monday night in prime time on TCM. There doesn't seem to be any particular rhyme or reason to the selection of this week's Peck movies: The Keys of the Kingdom airing from early in his career, is airing at 12:15 AM ET. However, the movie immediately preceding it is from much later, namely 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird. And, kicking the night off is Peck as Captain Ahab in the 1956 version of Moby Dick (pictured here). You know the story, of course (unless it's the 1930 version). The only thing I can think of that these movies have in common is that they're all based on books; the fourth movie, at 2:45 AM, is The Yearling, which is also based on a book.
