TCM Schedule for Tuesday, March 7: Star of the Month: Richard Burton
Barbara Stanwyck rules the daytime schedule -- not for a birthday tribute, by the way; it's the wrong month and day -- and this evening it's time for the tribute to Richard Burton.
And early Wednesday morning you've got a couple of Greats, Alfred and Alexander.
