TCM's Kirk Douglas tribute



Kirk Douglas in Spartacus (1960), airing tomorrow at 9:45 PM

Kirk Douglas died a month ago at the age of 103, and TCM couldn't run a tribute during February because of their annual 31 Days of Oscar programming. So TCM got a bunch of movies together and is running 11 of them all day and night tomorrow. The progrmming lineup is as follows:

6:00 AM The Strange Love of Martha Ivers
8:00 AM Two Weeks in Another Town
10:00 AM The Story of Three Loves
12:15 PM Along the Great Divide
2:00 PM Out of the Past
3:45 PM Young Man With a Horn
5:45 PM Lust for Life
8:00 PM Paths of Glory
9:45 PM Spartacus
1:15 AM Live from the TCM Classi Film Festival: Michael Douglas
2:30 AM The Bad and the Beautiful
4:45 AM Seven Days in May

I'm not certain why they stuck the Michael Douglas special in at 1:15 AM; if the programmers had trouble getting the movies to fit into a 24-hour (well, actually 24 hours and 45 minutes) block, stick the Michael Douglas special at the end after all of Dad's movies.
