TCM Schedule for Tuesday, December 1: Women Make Film

[CBHagman]

Dana Andrews, who has a birthday later this month, takes a featured role in the daytime roster. In evening TCM continues its Women Make Film series, showcasing the work of Gilda de Abreu, Joan Micklin Silver, Susan Seidelman, Agnieszka Smoczynska, and Penelope Spheeris.

A note to readers: TCM's new website continues to appall me, as content is going up incomplete, with false claims of "no information available" and apparently without proofreading. It's very disappointing to see in a station I associate with quality and that extra bit of attention.

"Airplane!" is based on. I tried to watch the original drama and kept waiting for the gags, which never came. The Zucker brothers bought the script to "Zero Hour!", and thus a masterful parody was born...
