Today is the first day of a new month, and the new month on TCM always means new programming features. One of those is the new Star of the Month, and due to the vagaries of the calendar, we actually have a Star of the Month two nights in a row. Kay Francis was the January 2022 Star of the Month, with her movies being on Monday in prime time, with last night, Jan. 31, being the last night. The Febraury 2022 Star of the Month, Henry Fonda, will have his movies featuring on all four Tuesdays in prime time leading into Wednesday mornings.
Fonda started his career at Fox, although from what I understand he claimed he didn't like most of the pictures he was put into there. Unfortunately, since TCM doesn't have quite so easy access to the Fox library (or is it owned by Disney now?), not so many of those films are showing. Young Mr. Lincoln kicks off the spotlight tonight at 8:00 PM, and there's also Drums Along the Mohawk at midnight tonight.
Since I have pictures of Fonda in two other movies on my hard drive that I was able to find quickly, I'll point out that The Lady Eve shows up at 9:15 PM on Feb. 15 as part of a double feature with Barbara Stanwyck, the other being The Mad Miss Manton at 8:00. Early the next morning, there's The Male Animal at 6:45 AM Feb. 16.
