Posting is going to be a little lighter than expected this week, but I note that now that 31 Days of Oscar has finished for another year, we get back to the regular themes on TCM, starting with a new Star of the Month. This time around, it's Fredric March, whose films will be showing every Tuesday in prime time, continuing into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The salute unsurprisingly kicks off with a lot of March's earlier works, such as his first Oscar for the 1932 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which is going to be on tonight at 9:45 PM. Also on tonight is the 1934 version of The Barretts of Wimpole Street, overnight at 1:30 AM. I've still got the 1950s version on my DVR, which I think ran for Ronald Colman's turn as Star of the Month or something. It's sitting unwatched because that version has, as far as I know, not received a DVD release.
Kicking off the March 12 prime time schedule is the 1937 version of A Star Is Born, at 8:00 PM
March won his second Oscar for The Best Years of Our Lives, which will be on at 8:00 PM March 19
Seven Days in May will run at 2:30 AM, March 27, part of the Tuesday, March 26 prime time schedule since TCM's day goes from 6:00 AM to 6:00 AM; it'll still be March 26 out in the Pacific time zone when this one starts.
