James Garner
We’re already a few days into TCM’s Summer Under the Stars, but there is a ton of stuff left before August is over and there is plenty of time to jump right in.
This huge event on TCM is celebrating the most legendary names in film and the roles that earned them the fame they enjoyed.
A walk down memory lane…although for most of us, these people were memories only if we got a chance to see their movies. They were the actors and actresses from the Golden Age of movies.
This event isn’t just a couple of film tossed at you to get your blood flowing. Each day is a 24-hour marathon of movies involving the legend of the day.
For example, on Friday it’s James Garner and here’s the schedule for the day (in EST):
- 6:00am - Alias Jesse James (’59)
- 7:45am - Mister Buddwing (’66)
- 9:30am - Private Screenings: James Garner (’01)
- 10:30am - Boy’s Night Out (’62)
- 12:30pm - The Wheeler Dealers (’63)
- 2:30pm - Cash McCall (’60)
- 4:15pm - 36 Hours (’65)
- 6:15pm - Hour of the Gun (’67)
- 8:00pm - Support Your Local Sheriff (’69)
- 9:45pm - Support Your Local Gunfighter (’71)
- 11:30pm - They Only Kill Their Masters (’72)
- 1:15am - Marlowe (’69)
- 3:00am - The Americanization of Emily (’64)

WHAT!?!?!? No Shirely Temple!?!?!?! I'm boycotting!
Rita Hayworth now always makes me think of Shawshank… or maybe I've got Morgan Freeman on the brain today.
A little bit of him scutter across a few states and land on you from his crash? Talk about momentum…
Cap'n - that's officially gross.
