Tomorrow is the second Sunday in May, which in the US means that it's Mother's Day; I know that some other countries celebrate it on other days during the year. Unsurprisingly, TCM is marking the day with several movies with classic movie mothers. As you might guess, the lineup has a number of familiar movies that show up year after year in TCM's Mother's Day lineup:
The day kicks off at 6:00 AM with Three Daring Daughters, a Jane Powell musical about her trying to bring her parents back together. Not to be confused with the Deanna Durbin movie Three Smart Girls.
Doris Day moves out to the suburbs with her husband David Niven and kids in Please Don't Eat the Daisies at 8:00 AM.
Eddie Muller is not celebrating motherhood with his Noir Alley selection, Follow Me Quietly at 10:00 AM.
The 1935 version of Edna Ferber's So Big can be seen at 11:15 AM.
Another remake, Pocketful of Miracles, which is an early 1960s version of Lady for a Day, is on at 1:15 PM.
You just knew Mildred Pierce would be scheduled, and sure enough it gets its airing at 3:45 PM.
If you didn't have enough remakes, it's time for another, as the Lana Turner version of Imitation of Life is on at 5:45 PM.
Prime time sees the final two movies of the salute, with I Remember Mama at 8:00 PM and Yours, Mine, and Ours at 10:00 PM.
Looking at the Silent Sunday Nights and TCM Imports lineups, it doesn't look like those are Mother's Day related at all. It also doesn't look as though FXM is doing anything to mark Mother's Day.
