TCM Schedule for Tuesday, December 15: The National Film Registry
Thank God for TCM fans. I hadn't been able to find a prime time schedule for Tuesday, and when I did, I couldn't figure out the theme. It turns out that this evening TCM will be featuring new additions to the National Film Registry (see link before for the complete list in reverse order). I only found out that because there was an online discussion of what was going on tonight.
As for the daytime schedule, it's devoted to Lana Turner, although it's not her birthday.
