TCM Schedule for Tuesday, March 6th: Jean Arthur
Cover the children's eyes and distract the neighborhood wowsers, because it's Pre-Code movie time again at TCM.
But that's just during the day. In the evening the spotlight turns on an essential actress of the classic movie era, Jean Arthur, and several of her very best movies: The Talk of the Town, The More the Merrier, and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

I really love the premise of that movie, the whole way the plot unfolds and the relationships take shape. Jean Arthur, as always, shines in an ensemble piece.
