TCM Remembers 2019


I saw half of the TCM Remembers piece for 2019 just before noon on Sunday, and see that it's up on Youtube:



I point it out now because tonight's lineup is TCM In Memoriam, looking at eight figures who left us in 2019 and giving each of them one movie:

8:00 PM sees Julie Adams in Creature from the Black Lagoon;
David Hedison (credited as Al) is in The Fly at 9:30 PM;
Thoroughly Modern Millie (11:15 PM) honors Carole Channing;
I didn't know there was a movie version of the TV show McHale's Navy, but it's showing at 2:00 AM in honor of Tim Conway;
Rutger Hauer gets a mention n Eureka at 3:45 AM;
It's not just actors honored as documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker's Monterey Pop will be on at 6:00 AM;
Wild Strawberries, with Bibi Andersson, shows up at 7:30 AM; and
the salute concludes at 9:30 AM by honoring Franco Zeffirelli with The Taming of the Shrew.
