Summer Under the Stars

For the entire month of August Turner Classic Movies is dedicating each day to a different classic movie star. All day the show movies showcasing that particular star. The event is being called "Summer Under the Stars" and it's a movie buff's dream.

This past Tuesday (8/3) TCM only showed movies starring Bob Hope - meaning I got to catch some of Hope's and Crosby's fun Road To . . . movies. Wednesday was turned over to the movies of Debbie Reynolds. I didn't stay up to watch Singing in the Rain, but I did get to watch a lot of The Mating Game which co-starred the always enjoyable Tony Randle.

Today is Lucille Ball and I'm hoping to catch some of Du Barry Was a Lady. Co-starring Red Skelton, Gene Kelly, and Zero Mostel, it looks like a fun romp from 1943. It's on tonight at 7pm. Hopefully I'll be able to watch some of it.

Then this weekend it's Katherin Hepburn on Saturday and Clint Eastwood on Sunday. I am looking forward to the Hepburn movies more. Especially Woman of the Year, Adam's Rib, Pat and Mike, The Philadelphia Story, and Bringing Up Baby.

The coming weeks bring even more stars. If you get TCM in your area. You should really check to see what's on.
