TCM Schedule for Wednesday, January 13: Star of the Month: Fred MacMurray

[CBHagman]

Today TCM has what sounds like a relatively racy film line-up in tribute to Kay Francis, born on this day in 1905.

And tonight's Star of the Month movies include two Fred MacMurray-Barbara Stanwyck pairings, proving it's always time not only for film noir but Christmas. This holiday film's a rarity: Remember the Night.

1. Double Indemnity!!!!!

A great flick! There is no my three sons in MacMurray's role, nor in Stanwyck's. Edward G is the moral center.

It is a great flick. Highly recommended.
