Sean Connery (l.) and Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King (5:30 AM)
Actor Sean Connery died at the end of October at the age of 90. To honor him, TCM will be spending prime time tonight with five of his movies. The first two are James Bond movies, Thunderball at 8:00 PM and You Only Live Twice at 10:30 PM.
Blofeld's underground headquarters in You Only Live Twice; I didn't have any good photos of Connery in either this or Thunderball
Third up is Marnie at 12:45 AM; the movie is a bit of a mess but it's not really Connery's fault. To be honest, the real best reasons to watch for it are on one hand the things that make it a mess, and on the other hand Diane Baker.
The final two selections are The Hill at 3:15 AM, which I apparently have not blogged about yet; and the aforementioned The Man Who Would Be King at 5:30 AM.

We live on Vancouver Island,BC,Canada and two of the Movies shown as part of the tribute were different than advertised. My question is who controls the content of TCM
here in Canada? We do sometimes have different movies other than those advertised.
Thanks EB
I wish I knew who holds the rights to various movies in Canada. I'm sure it's a pretty big pain for the TCM programmers as well.
It also sucks to think that if it hadn't been for Disney getting copyright terms extended just before Steamboat Willie was set to fall into the public domain, here in the US we'd be getting movies from 1945 falling into the public domain this coming January 1.
