Short and Sweet

Now that we're into a new month, it's time to start getting new spotlights on TCM. One of them is "Short and Sweet", which will be looking at movies that run under 75 minutes. They'll be running all morning and night on Wednesdays in October. Actually, they're running into Thursday morning's, as tonight's lineup concludes tomorrow morning at 6:30 AM with Nothing Sacred.

The movies are arranged mostly by genre, which may be a bit off-putting for some people who don't want to watch one movie after another in the same genre. And of course since they're all so short, there will be a lot of movies. Today's genres are romantic dramas in the morning and afternoon leading into romantic comedies in prime time. I'd pick Ever In My Heart at 12:15 PM as a highlight of the day, and Rafter Romance at 11:45 PM as the highlight of the night.
