TCM Schedule for Tuesday, May 22: Movie Series
Look out, evildoers! Nancy Drew's in the house, ready to sleuth her way through the TCM Movie Series series, and so Miss Marple.
And during daytime, Sylvia Sidney is the star—not for a birthday tribute, as her birthday's in August—but she's nevertheless center stage.
