1. This is cable television at it's very best!

All six Thin Man films, in order of release, uncut and commercial-free, followed by an evening of the best in cinematic song and dance.

What cable was meant to be when introduced, so long ago. Enjoy it while it lasts. There's no telling what AT&T has in store for TCM.
