TCM Schedule for Wednesday, July 8: Feel-Good Films
There's a Vincent Price tribute today, though it's not his birthday. But in the daytime hours you will at least be less inclined to listen for every creak and rustle, so there's that. Enjoy! 
And tonight you can have a feel-good festival with Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, the Marx Brothers, Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, and a glorious assembly of other talent.
