Related: About this forumTCM Schedule for Tuesday, October 13: TCM Spotlight: Trailblazing Women
TCM sends its viewers kisses as a daytime prelude to an evening spent with Trailblazing Women.
One note: TCM's cast lists for the prime-time movies seem to focus chiefly on secondary players while ignoring the leads, so much so that I changed the entry for Crossing Delancey. If I had more time, I'd get to the others as well.
